Schools Out For Summer

Can't believe Summer is almost over! The kids go back to school September 2nd this year. Count down begins, as well as shopping, school supplies, hair cuts, routines, and chaos till everything falls back into place. Summer has been very busy for Mark. He is teaching two classes at TCC and taking a class online, and teaching another online. He is at school everyday and rarely comes out of his office until 6p, which will also include homework on weekends and working prior to leaving for work at 10a. He is looking forward to fall. I'm afraid he might explode if he doesn't get some time to himself soon. Life sure does get in the way of dreams, ambitions, and desires. I'm also part of the problem. My desire to have a relationship that I've only seen in movies and soap operas has placed undue stress on both of us. I'm wondering if there is something wrong with me, my ideals, and expectations. Either way we have a beautiful family and are determined to work it out. If we both could get out of our heads and into each other's dreams life would be great!
