I remember how summers used to stretch out into infinity – school would never start again. But that is because I was a child and bored, bored, bored. Now summers stretch into infinity again, but I have too much to do and too little time.
E and S participated in ABA training for a couple of weeks after summer school was over. The school district here trains the teachers in schools with autism programs on how to do Applied Behavioral Analysis with their students and they need kids to demo on. So, I volunteered to drive them back and forth so that they could be model students for a couple of hours a day. The boys really like the attention and the teachers are so nice and enthusiastic. It is a win-win situation. But now they are stuck with just me for the next two weeks until school starts again. We have an exciting field trip to AC Moore and Harris Teeter’s planned for this afternoon. 
I’m starting to teach a new class on Thursday night – Organizational Psychology – so I’m trying to balance kid supervision with reading the material, planning my classes, and prepping my PowerPoint slides. I’m glad to add another class to my teaching list, but wish I had more free time to concentrate on prepping.
I’ve found some new dishcloth patterns and have some new sets up in my Esty store:
What a neat program for the boys to have participated in! And, giggling at the boredom and the fascinating field trip upcoming! Grin!

Mimi,
I have them trained! I let S use his own 40% off coupon and buy something by Crayola or a Pez dispenser. He thinks a trip to ACMoore is the best. My dh, on the other hand, rolls his eyes.
Not only did we get to go to the craft store and the grocery store, we also had lunch at Quizno’s!
