Just doing a fly-by post today to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving!

My pies are made, turkey’s just about done, need to mash my potatoes and glaze my carrots and then we’ll be sitting down to some very yummy food. Have a great one, everybody!

I’m over at Once Upon a Crime today blogging about five romantic suspense books I can’t wait to read. It was very hard stopping at five, believe me!

Come on by and let me know what you’re looking forward to reading.

In exactly two weeks my boys will be back to school. It’s not a shocker. I always know it’s coming, yet I go into it with mixed feelings. There’s a part of me that feels relieved–the part of me that needs to stop being summer slouch and get back to work. But the other part of me feels they’re growing up way too quickly and it’s passing me by, like I’ll never have enough time with them as children and then one day I’ll wake up and they’ll be adults and I’ll wonder what happened to those little boys who used to smile at me as if I was their whole world.

My oldest is going into fifth grade (the dreaded Middle School) and my youngest is moving to the Intermediate School for third grade. Their Elementary School days are behind them….and sadly enough, so are mine.

The days of volunteering in their classrooms and hanging out with them on field trips will soon be coming to a close.

I’m a cool mom and all, but I doubt either of them will want me hanging around for ski trips or tagging along on prom night!

So, I’ll take these last two weeks and try to make the most of them. As we hit the door running on the morning of August 6th, it’s back into work mode. But, please, turn the other way if you see me skulking through the halls trying to catch small glimpses of my handsome little men.

I promise not to continue doing it much longer. Or at the very least, stop admitting to it!
