Ahhhh, summer.  Time off, time to breathe, time to play, shouldn’t it be amazing?  The fact is, summertime for adults has often become a juggling act of handling camps, carpools, kids’ time off, and planning vacations (if you get to have them).  All these stresses, added to the sometimes unquenchable excitement kids have for their time off and the inevitable disappointments that come with that, can cause us as adults to actually even dread what we used to love!
