first day of summer vacation

The 2013 version of the First Day of Summer Vacation looks suspiciously similar to last year's edition, which is crazy. It's not as if I have been checking in here or anything. And, my memory is fading with old age. Of course, there are a few deviations from last year, but the similarities are striking: special breakfast, late start to the summer homeschooling [denial is a difficult habit to break], and dinner. A year ago, we had the EXACT SAME thing for dinner--this amazing salmon salad. So, that settles it. The salad must become a first day of summer tradition. Here's what else was shaking:

7:00. Alarm sounded. I intended to snooze but couldn't fall back to sleep
7:20. Hauled myself out of bed and headed for the den where I tweaked my standard cover letter and applied for a job. Already, the day has been productive.
8:20. Woke up rest of family, who were on their feet within 30 minutes.
9:00. Supervised Winston, who made French toast for himself and for Simon.
9:45. Husband, who is working at home while office is being renovated, conducts Come-to-Jesus meeting with kids to let them know how serious the summer homeschool is. Sigh.
10:00. 30 minutes of math. An algebra review for Simon, stack arithmetic for Winston.
10:45. 30 minutes of power reading: Cooked for me, a Dr. Who book featuring the 11th Dr. for Simon, and Zom-B for Winston. I hope the latter doesn't give Youngest Son nightmares.
11:30. 30 minutes of writing. Simon is writing a story. Winston is describing the ingredients and process of making French toast.I read. Though I regret not writing.
12:00. Lovely lunch. Winston made box mac and cheese for himself and Simon. As last year, I vowed to have better materials for healthy lunches. At least for the first week.
1:00. Target and library run. The less said the better.
4:25. Unpack groceries. Catch up on email and other messages.
5:30. Accept a cocktail even though I am trying to curtail weekend drinking. Hard to refuse the G&T fairy.
5:35. Make the DALS salmon salad, which comes together quickly since the salmon had been grilled the previous evening and most of the veg cook in the same pot of salty water. Was as delicious as I remembered. We will be making sooner than June 2014.
7:00. First Hamilton boy dropped off. We granted the boys an overnight with their buddies. Is summer over yet? JK!
10:00. Kicked boys out of den so husband and I might watch John Oliver hosting Jon Stewart.
11:00. Gave boys a warming about getting sleep. Now.
12:00. Want to sleep myslef.
