I don't think a scale exists to measure just how much I'd like to bail on this summer, but the (financial) reality is that I need one more. I've tutored, organized and taught remediation programs, taught night school, and run a summer school program these last 13 years. All of these have been to balance out the first decade's wages and student loans, new home, and new family expenses. We're getting there!

Now, in the interested of full disclosure: my summer school program runs from 9-12 and consists of academically motivated students on a (majestic) private school campus. I'm up late and out by lunch, sooo... (Still keeps me away from the lake!)
