Is summer over yet?

Im at that point, one foot stuck in summer and one deeply looking for a good foothold in fall. This is the first year in 8 years that Ill have 6-7 hours with no kids.... 8 years. I look foward to spending time on the computer course I have planned and walking the dogs, but Im still just amazed at the fact:
i'll have
7 hours alone every day
5 days a week
8 years since Ive had any freedom whatsoever
