Here its already time forkids to go back to school and August is almost gone. Where did it go? Went so fast that I feel like I missed it. Oh I didnt miss the heat! got to 127 several times this year but that is usual. My grand son goes to a 12 month school he got out the 17th of July and now already going back! Dont seem like a very long time to enjoy being out of school. I know when I went I loved Summer vacation I could go to Grandmas . But I havent even seen my grand son since he got out of school and that day was his birthday also. So do you think this summer went fast or slow?

I think this summer went fast, its already the Labor Day weekend, and I always thought that once that past, here comes the cold weather, and summer's over. I know I can't believe that the kids are already back in school, around here last winter we had bad ice storms, and all the schools had to use their snow days and then some, so this year, they all had to start school early to make up for those days they lost.

This summer went by extremely fast. I don't even know what I did this summer. I mean how is school already starting? I though I was going to have enough time to do some stuff that I wanted to do but I didn't do any of them. It's like crazy that school is already going to start. And you know what I don't really feel like the summer vacation is really ending. My siblings start school on Tuesday. I start school on the 3rd but I go on the 9th because I have classes on Tuesdays. It'll probably hit me that the vacation is over when I am sitting in my first class.

Very, very fast. It seems like it had just started a few days ago! I didn't miss the heat, either...bleh. Or the freezing cold nights. (My Goddess Ohio's weather was like a desert this year, and freaky as per usual) And now we're going onto autumn, my favorite season but also a season which means things are gonna get even busier now. Whoo. I think 2008 has gone by pretty fast, period, actually.

Well, that sounds like a pretty decent side-affect for speeding time -- to truly get better before you know it!

I can not believe that Summer is over here and the kids are back in school. This is the first Summer that I can remember that we didn't have time to really enjoy it. I always have many picnics in my yard, almost every weekend and this year I only had one and that was in June for my brother-in-law's birthday. My husband and I and his siblings have been so busy cleaning and preparing his father's house to put up for sale, that we used all our weekends up. We didn't go to any summer carnivals or drive-in movies or even to the beach this year. The work is almost done so maybe we will be able to enjoy the Fall. Let's hope that doesn't go too fast, I amnot looking forward to Winter!

The summer went fairly quickly for me. I worked lots and we traveled for our vacation so it seemed to just fly by. It was nice and cool where I live for most of the summer, only about two weeks of "air conditioner weather".

We had a hectic summer, spent the last couple of months going to phsyiotherapy, we just had a weekend for a real vacation going from Winnipeg to Saskatoon. Most of the time was in the city. The only special events was at my son and daughter-in-law's housewarming and combination Katie's birthday party, then their anniversary and the announcement of my younger son's engagement. Usually the summer is slow, but this time it really rushed by. Now it is getting to be fall and I have to think about buying fall clothes.

School really has gone by fast. We got out in May and went back in August. I felt like I missed the whole summer. But I was sorta glad to be back at school to see my friends. It gets boring at home.

Oh, I go to a school outside of my school district because im in the magnet pgrm so most of the people in the magnet prgrm arent in the ditrict. so they live like far away from me. The friends that do live near me were gone most of the summer. It was a little sad.

I agree, this summer has come and gone so fast! I work at a music school, so I don't have to teach in the summer...I have a summer job as well to keep the income coming though...It seems like I've done next to nothing all summer, and now it's over! I go back to teaching on Tuesday, and I'm happy and dissapointed at the same time...Happy because I start making some good money again, but now I'm totally busy for the next 10 months! -Mike

Oh Summer went way, way too fast. I feel really bad for my son who is entering his junior year of highschool. These days they have summer school and it was a complete day--from 7:30 to 1:45. Okay, give or take an hour. In any case he did not get out until August and then went back to school on August 25th. We did our best to make it fun for him. Thank God his sister was willing to take him to Disneyland and bowling alleys etc. All for free. Anyway, we had no time for a real vacation but maybe around Thanksgiving we'll make it up to ourselves. How are you, Lakota? Hope all is well, have yourself a wonderful week and don't go out in that heat.

my summer went by really really fast!! Maybe it was because I had martial arts a lot, had fun spending time with my family and having a break from school. I live in Canada and this summer was " the rainiest summer ", in our history of rainy summers. So most of the time when it was raining i stayed in and played video games, which really killed a lot of my time.

Boy it sure does sound hot in your neck of the woods. It has been hot and humid here in Alabama too. The summer does not feel quite over yet but it will be over soon enough. It did seem to fly by pretty fast. I am not really a big fan of the summer time. I am looking forward to the cooler days. I used to live in Pennsylvania. The climate is slightly different where I am at. Sometimes there are tornado warnings which I wasn't used to where I came from. Have a great rest of the summer.

yup its hot and no humidity here like in Alabama. Moved here from Teen. So I know what you are going thru. Now Penn. has nice weather in the summer time but dont like the winters there. Tornadoes are something else again hope one never hits you or yours
