The Professional Mom and "fall"

The National Geographic Society, that bastion of well-documented scientific discovery, has offered me (ME!) the "Preferred Professional Rate" on an annual subscription. I wonder how they found out I was a professional?! Who knew homeschooling had such global recognition... ;)

You may remember the cold winter days Up North, when you poke your nose out the door, sniff once, your nose hairs freeze, and someone screams, "For God's sake, close the f-ing door!" That's happening here, only it's September and it's too hot to breathe. Ah, Florida in September -- hell on Earth, only made worse by hurricanes, flooding, and the first cool breath of Fall that you know is blowing somewhere Up North. Down here, you poke your head out the door, a blast of hot air hits you like a wet towel, the sun fries the top of your head, and someone screams, "For God's sake, close the f-ing door!"

The Boy asked me if it's "fall" yet. I just didn't know what to say, except, "For God's sake..."
