I remember the first few years after college, all of a sudden 4th of July would be here and it would hit me that it was actually summer. Without anything to mark the beginning of summer (ie. getting out of school) I totally lost track of the months! Now that I have kids, I kick myself every June for not having gone into education. $250 a week in day care all summer long really really hurts. It totally stinks to have no money all summer, when there are so many fun but expensive things to do. I've spent the last month stocking up on groceries in preparation.
