It's July 4th. Though it's gloomy outside in my part of the world, it's beautiful to wake up in the land of the free and the home of the brave.I hear birds chirping.

Bad guys are all around, you know.

It can't be that time again. Oh, but the discarded backpacks in the hall, stacks of school papers everywhere and the sudden jump in grocery bills indicate that it is so. School is out for summer.
You're either in panic mode, denial or in love with the idea of having kids underfoot.
