If schools are not out in your neck of the woods, they will be out for sure this month. Yea it’s June, the first month of the summer recess. The kids relish going to bed late and sleeping in late. Most business particularly in the retail and business to business industry have it really slow during the summer months. So working parents make the maximum use of the slow period at work by relaxing, taking trips with the kids and enjoying the summer season.

Summer is also when families relocate for work. No one likes dragging a child out of school in the middle of the school year. My family will be moving to the Alamo city in the lone star state this summer. How I dread the move! Everyone is telling me to take the move as an adventure but all I see in my near future is packing up boxes and unpacking up boxes. Change is really hard! One is most often willing to accept a known and comfortable nightmare than face the possibilities of what could be if that process involves making a change.

So what are the observances in June and what do we have lined up here? Not completely sure yet but Conversations with Slimy Bookworm posting schedule might be going down to once a week on Wednesday through the summer season. We will see.
