That's all folks

So yesterday was my mom's first day back to school for the '08-'09 school year. Can you believe it's already August?!?! Of course her kids don't start until August 25th, but because she is the closest thing to Queen Bee without being in Administration, she has to be there to get the school in order before the rest of the Worker Bees show up for the year. Seriously, she is the Lead Content Teacher for the English/Language Arts Department and has all kinds of other responsibilities and titles that I can't keep up with. I think this is her 34th year to be teaching and all but a couple of those have been at the High School level. She is pretty much the most amazing teacher on the planet and most of her kids will attest to that! You can always ask a few of hers that have made it big, like Mike Britt from the country band Lonestar or Betty Nguyen who is an anchor on CNN. Yeah, both of those kids use the skills Mom taught them in school to get where they are today! Oh, I think I forgot to mention the book Mom co-authored a couple of years ago that almost every single high school kid in Texas has used: How to Prepare for the TAKS: English Language Arts Exit Exam (Barron's) by Peggy Kennedy and Linda Powley. You can go ahead and say it, My mom Rocks! I am very proud of her!

We are all so grateful to have summers (even though they are brief) to spend with her! The girls love their TEA parties, slumber parties and pool parties, not to mention their picnics and their time cooking, playing games and reading books with her!

We had a great summer Gommy, hope you did too!
