Yep, you guessed it. School’s…back…in…session. (You have to sing that to the tune of “School’s Out for Summer” to get the full effect of my excitement here.) 🙂

Funny how I’ve changed my tune from my teaching days when I dreaded the start of school. Now I adore it! I honestly didn’t realize how hard it would be to write with the kids home this summer, but I’ve learned my lesson. Next summer…Camps! (lots of them!)… Chores every day (to keep them busy and to keep them from whining about being bored!)… Naps! (mostly for me!) Slowly but surely I’ll figure this out.

As far as the job goes, I’d like to say I’ve been as productive as This is me and my fabulous agent, Laura Bradford, after the awards ceremony on Saturday. Incidentally, I’m looking at my contract now, thinking, “Wow…she’s awesome!!!”
