So, basically if I screw up my business, mismanage my money, gamble with other peoples money, etc. the government is going to bail me out too? No chance in hell. Some of the brightest people on Wall Street or in the world for that fact really screwed up and greed took over the past few years. This accumulation of  ”wild west” investing almost caused the world’s financial markets to collapse.Where do I get my “bail out”card? 

Here we are back to the hustle and bustle of school and all the activities that surround it. I am interested in comments how other people are getting along.

To start, Car lines at school are the most bizarre phenomenon that I have ever experienced. You have a bunch of cars, filtering through a bottleneck into a parking lot, dropping kids off, similar to a NASCAR pit stop. On the subject of school, I have to give credit to the teachers; they are the backbone of our children’s education.  However, the homework can get a bit much. My middle school kids seem to be working all hours of the day and night just to keep up. The one variable that is the toughest to manage is the extracurricular activities.  Tennis here, football, there, religious school across town, study groups, tutoring, play dates, it becomes a logistical nightmare.  I have to tell you, my wife and I are a few weeks into this marathon and the “legs are giving out”!

But, we all make it through the eight to nine months of overlapping schedules and recharge during the summer. (Which seems shorter and shorter every year.) The smiles on the faces, “A”s on the report cards or a run for a touchdown all make it worth it!

How many days until summer break?

But then again, that’s the way I see it!
