Regulars, newbies and lurkers - take a minute to tell us a bit about yourself and your teens and answer the question - when does school start back up for you?
I'm Pam in central IL.

I just joined tonight. :) I am looking for a place to help me through the teen years! I have a StepDD who is 14, DD who is 13, StepDS that is close to 11 and DD that is 10....I don't typically call my step kids - step, because I am their only mom. Anyway, we are in Florida and have been a blended family for 2 1/2 years.
School starts August 20th...oh...and I am teacher.
I'm Elizabeth in Michigan, married to Jay for 20 years. Kids are Matt, 16, going into his senior year of HS; Chris, 14, starting his freshman year in HS; Greg, 11, going into sixth grade; and Cathy, 4, in preschool. School starts here on September 4.

Two will be in high school in aug. SOOOOO I'm thinking I'll need this board to keep SANE.
This school year is going to be a nightmare.EEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKK
Kaila :)
Yes, never a dull moment!
We are in Orlando. :) But my teens just went to camp in Leesburg!
I live in central Illinois, 'south of 80' as we say here(we have a bit of a complex about Chicago)

Hello, I am Kate and I am from southern California. I have been married for 27 years(yikes I am old) and we have 5 amazing children. I am a faculty member and do research at a local university, a job that I adore.
My oldest is Gavin who is 23 and currently working on getting his PhD/MD in neuroscience at Johns Hopkins.
Jacob will be 19 this November and will be a sophomore at the Naval Academy. Despite how hard it can be at times, he loves it there and could not imagine being anywhere else. Brooklyn will be 16 this October and will be a junior in high school. This is a tough year for her and she is really stressed out about where to go to college. In a family of science she is the only one that really likes english and writing, so she feels a little left out.
Everett is 14 and will be a freshman next year. I am hoping that high school will make him less lazy. He is very intelligent and can understand most concepts without having to do much extra work, so he finds homework tedious and a waste of time.
And last but not least, is Sienna who is 11 and will be in 6th grade this fall. She is very excited about no longer being in elementary school and growing up...I just hope she doesn't grow up too fast.
Its a pleasure to meet you all,
Kate
