I'm staring down Summer Vacation ahead: only 9 school days left... Question: How do you accomplish anything business-related during Summer Vacation with the kids home from school??? (Which is strange, because somehow I made it through the first five years with each child at home before they started school, and now it seems completely overwhelming!) Have a great week!
