I don't know if there is anyone else out there like me, but going back to school is a real love/hate thing for me.  The older my daughter get's the more I enjoy "hanging" out with her.  We actually enjoy going to some of the same movies now, we can shoe shop together and pretty soon we'll be stealing things out of eachother's closets (oh rue the day!).  So sending her back to school seems to get harder for me every year.  However, the one really good thing about sending her back to school is that I can get back into a good work routine.  I thrive on routine.  It's really the only way I ever get anything done.  Ask my husband - if it's not scheduled and in my calendar it's just simply not going to get done.  So, because of all of my daughter's activities, during the summer my routine is non existant.  Laundry is on Mondays, cleaning is on Fridays, office meetings on Wednesdays, and phone calls and paper work on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  It gets done that way. 

I'm really glad to be back to my schedule - it makes me feel calmer and I don't feel like I'm forgetting quite so many things.  I hope you'll see us, (me specifically) getting back on track and being better about getting my work done.  That should mean for you - more contact from Katie in the form of emails, phone calls and even some good newsletter articles.  I hope you're reading all the information we send to you - there's some really great stuff in there.

Well, Happy Back to School and here's wishing for cooler evenings. 

Thanks,
Katie
