School Supplies- Friend of Foe??

I have a confession to make...
(Besides the fact that this is my second post in one day lol!)

I am not a normal teacher!
I DO NOT get giddy, AT ALL, when school supplies come out!
In fact, I posted about this topic on Facebook just today.

Let me tell you a little more about this experience!

My sister, Theresa, just bought a new, gorgeous house!
Yeah her!!! :)
It's at least 45 minutes away from me!
Boo me!!! :'(
(Wipe a tear from my eye.)
Ok- pitty party over... lol

So we were shopping at Wal-Mart for bedding for their new rooms.
Each of my darling nieces (see picture of them, with me, below) gets their own room.
So there is a lot of decorating in store for us.
Fun times ahead!

Back to Wal-Mart...
They had made their selections and we were heading out.
But not before I caught a glimpse of what I had been dreading...
It blind-sighted me.
School Supplies!!!!

Some might wonder why this is a bad thing.
Teachers love school supplies right??
Well, not me
Because it means summer is on the road to an end.
I LOVE SUMMER!!!
The sun...
The pool...
Sleeping in (oh wait, that doesn't happen with the construction)
Lazy days...
It just makes me sad. :(

So I posted, on Facebook, that I just about had an anxiety attack today when I saw school supplies.
I'm not kidding you either.
I really felt anxiety.
I had to get out of that section
And quick!!!


Well, I have another confession to make...
I am officially a school supplies hater hypocrite.
I went to Barnes and Noble to check out a teacher book and work on units of study for reading.
There, at the top of the escalator, was my downfall.
School supplies.
But not just any school supplies...
The adorable NOTEBOOKS that they always have.
The ones I love...
The ones like the cute one I posted about the other day.
Who can resist that??
Obviously not me.

So here it is...
The evidence of my hypocrisy.

On the very day that I complained and freaked out about school supplies coming out...

The very day I posted to all of my Facebook friends about it...

I bought school supplies.

So there you go!

My school supplies confessions!

On a different note,

Anyone love baseball??

Maybe Abbott and Costello??

Look what I found at Barnes and Noble...

Have you ever watched this Abbott and Costello episode?

It is soo funny

And it is a book.

I never knew that!

This would be a great one to have a couple baseball lovers in your class read.

Or anyone for that matter

Because it is quite cute!

They could act out the characters' reactions while reading!

Check it out!

So what do you think about school supplies?

Friend or Foe??

lol
