Some moms, former procrastinators, are so glad summer comes they let everything go. They long to be free of schedules and routines. The clock, the calendar, and all order go out the window. I might like that for a week or so, but pretty soon turmoil would drive me to scream, “Everybody come back! Regroup!” …
