Good luck. Will you miss them with them in school?
@mrswrangler - Well I’ll miss knowing they’re at home, ha! I work during the day so some of them aren’t even up when I leave right now. Since I’ll be getting them all up and around for school, I’ll probably actually see them MORE after school starts than I do now.
Whew!! My sister went down the school supply aisle at Wal-mart last night, and she couldn’t believe the complaining the mothers were doing! One woman was complaining to my sister. My sister just smiled at her. The lady stopped and said, “You’re a teacher, aren’t you?” Jen said, “Yep!” with a big smile. Hahaha.
That’s a lot of stuff!!! Looking back, I always enjoyed back-to-school shopping at the end of summer. I got new clothes, new backpack, new school items, and a new school year always was a fresh start. I hope your boys have a great school year!!! When do they go back? I think our county schools start back at the end of next week.
