[quote=Anonymous]OP, are your kids school aged, and are they in the same school district as you?

One thing I didn't realize as a teacher going back to work is that teachers go back to work about 6-7 days before the students do, and few summer day camps run that week.  The few that do will fill up fast.  So lining up child care for your week of teacher work days is very important.

You should be able to handle snow days and snow or inclement weather early dismissal/late start days, depending on your school's schedule and how it matches up with the kids' school schedule.

As the SAHP you were covering all the doctor's appointments I'm guessing.  It helps to find doctors with later afternoon/;evening or weekend hours.  Also it helps to have your doctors in a county other than your own, if you live close to the border.  I live in MD but many doctors are in VA and I can usually get appointments on days off for my school district that aren't off in Arlington or Fairfax.

Keep at least 5 days of emergency sub plans set up at school so if you do need to call in sick you are covered.

Remember that the first couple of weeks of your own kids going back to school will be exhausting for THEM, and you as a teacher will also be exhausted.  Plan for September!   Lots of forms to fill out too.
