Go for it!
Funny thing is I have been thinking about giving it a try too.
I am pretty small so I am going to try the Fender Starcaster Mini, ever hear of those?

I'd stay away from mini electric guitars.

What's the bad news on the minis? I was going to try and find a shop that actually has them in stock opposed to buying off ebay

A few of my younger students have them. If you have freakishly small hands or are very young, I'd say go for it. Otherwise, you are OK with getting a standard size Strat. Trust me, after some time, your fingers can and will stretch farther than you currently think they can...

Awesome. I've bought gift baskets and have shoveled snow covered driveways for my neighbors in order to make up from the obnoxious amounts of music that get played!

Can you post a link to what specific guitar you have? I've never heard of any guitar having 4 kill switches. One is all you need.

Ahh I see what you are saying about 4 "kill switches"...those knobs control the volume and tone of each pickup. The knobs closest to you when playing are the volume and the lowest ones control the bridge pickup.

A true killswitch is something different. Some guitars have the knobs set up so that you could push them in and go from full volume to silence with a single press.

tax time means no time to practice

So, I am roughly 3 months in to learning the guitar. While I admit, I don't have as much time to practice like I would hope I feel as if I may be a little behind. I am taking lessons and I am not sure if I am receiving the best instruction. What exactly should I be taught this far in my lessons? I know my basic chords well but, thats as far as I go. Any thoughts?
