I am not going to lie, I have been counting down since August 1st (perhaps even a bit before that). My kids go back to school in 12 days and I AM READY!! Okay, stop judging, its not for the reason you think.

I really do love spending time with my kids, they are tons of fun, but during the summer we lose all sense of schedule and routine. I know I am partly to blame (okay totally to blame) but between summer activities, camps, visits to grandparents and the other miscellaneous summer distractions, I just can't seem to stick to any semblance of a routine.

I NEED ROUTINE!!

I thrive on schedules, list-making and planning (hey, I was a teacher for nine years). Despite all of the craziness the summer has brought me, I have seen my best production ever during the past few months! I am also super excited about what I have going for the rest of 2010 and beyond but quite frankly, I am pooped!

I feel like I have been in a three ring circus juggling flaming torches for 2 months and I would really like to put a few of the torches down and be able to focus on just one at a time (that torch being my business torch)! Sorry that's a pretty bad analogy but like I said earlier...I am pooped...give me a break!

As previously stated, please don't take it the wrong way, I love my kids and I love summer fun but I am so ready to get back on my schedule and get the kids back on theirs. There is so much great stuff happening in our world of real estate right now and I am ready to put away the flip flops and get my game face on!

Who's with me??

Come on Fall....I am ready for ya!
