Hello All!
It is Monday morning and the first day back to school for my son. He goes to a private school and starts a week earlier than my girls who go to the public high school. I think I am still in shock that my summer is over. It went so fast, but I have to admit “back-to-school” isn’t all bad!
If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers. ~Edgar W. Howe
This quote makes me giggle. It is so true (at least for me)!
I am not sure my son is ready to go back, but getting back to a set schedule is good for him (and for me)! Here is a picture of my little bug the last three years on the first day of school. I can’t believe how much he has grown!
His shoe size has gone up three sizes since this time last year. Wow! He still small for his age, but I am so happy to see some growth! Guatemalan’s tend to be small people so he will always be smaller – but he is SO STRONG! Just ask his wrestling opponents!
I don’t know if you know this about me, but I am a voracious reader. I just wish I had more time to have my nose in a book. This weekend, I decided to “unplug” a bit more and sit down and read. I am telling you this because I am reading such a good book right now, I had to share it with you.

I can’t put it down. Click here to see a summary. I am about half way through and I am just dying to see how it ends. This is a real thriller! I am hoping once school gets going for all my kids, I will have a little more time to read. I usually carry a book with me everywhere I go, so any extra minutes in carpool or waiting in line I can get in a couple pages. I am not a Kindle/Nook convert yet. I love the feel of a real book in my hands. I have received a Kindle from my mom, so never say never.
I have been working on quite a few home projects lately. Can’t wait to show you what I have been up to! See you tomorrow for Teach Me Tuesday!
Hope your life is more Saturday night heaven than Monday morning havoc!

Wow!!! Your life is at a crazy time right now – I’m exhausted just reading through your blog!
Enjoy it now though, you will be surprised at how it comes to a screeching halt when your last graduates from highschool – lol. Following you now.

Thanks so much for the follow Gloria!! I am trying to enjoy every minute of the insanity because I know I will miss it in a couple years. Just thinking about my twin girls leaving for college makes me cry. I am going to be a mess! I am looking forward to checking out your blog! Have a great Monday!
I finished Gone Girll a few weeks ago- the ending is a real surprise!!! Have you read of her other books?
Hi Aunt Rita!
I can’t wait to see what happens! I have not read any of her other books. Are they worth reading? Hope all is well with you and Uncle Bob!
Sooooo good to hear from you!
I have not read any of her other books, but a friend has highly recommended them. If you’re interested, I would love to send you a list of the books that I’ve read/enjoyed over the last few months. (I don’t have your personal email address)
Love, love, love the photos of the children -one is cuter than the other!!
AND, love your blog! It’s the first thing I go to every morning- keep up the good work. ( don’t know how you do it all! I’m so jealous, lol)
Love you bunches!
I just read Gone Girl two weeks ago for my book club! I’m curious to see what you think once you finish it… I won’t say anything!
Love your blog, Missi… great, great job. See you on the courts soon, I hope!

Hey Kim –
So good to hear from you! I can’t put the book down today. I am not getting much done.
I am so happy you like my blog! It has been so much fun for me to write! Hope to see you this ALTA season!
