I think what is making it go so slow for me is that I haven't been allowed to do anything. No vacation, no swimming, nothing.... We have never NOT went on vacation during the summer. And normally, we are at the pool everyday. The public pool is maybe 2 min from my house. But I won't allow them to go swimming there without me in the pool. DD2 is still a bit afraid of water without a adult. I can't wait for school to start so thing start speeding up.
