Back to School?

Well, folks, I walked into Target and guess what I found? A back to school sale, with school supplies everywhere that the eye can wander! Now, as a kid, I enjoyed shopping for school clothes, the "trapper keepers", the care bears lunch box, etc. Remember how summer seemed soooooo long, and by the end of it, you were ready to start the adventure of the first day back to school? You put on your cutest outfit, even if it was a long sleeve wool sweater on August 25th. You had to go looking your finest. The "trapper keeper" was stocked with school supplies of every type, and life couldn't be better, plus you got to see all those friends that you hadn't seen all summer long!

Now, as a teacher, summer seems soooo short. It seems like the last day of school, which I started counting down in March, was just yesterday. And now there are back to school sales. I hadn't even thought about the concept of going back to school until I stepped foot in Target. Snaps you right back into reality! Maybe if I find a trapper keeper I'll feel a little better. The only good news is that I need a new back to school wardrobe this year. Last year, my entire school wardrobe consisted of maternity clothes. And, as comfy as they were, I'm glad that I don't have to be sporting them again this year. So, I guess I am looking forward to getting me some fun new clothes!

So, with that said, I counted! I only have 4 weeks of summer left to enjoy the lounging in pajamas, waking up at 7:30 instead of 5:30, hanging out with my little angel all day long, and wandering the isles of the hobby lobby. Yikes!
