Well kids, it's that time of year again, time for back to school. While the end of summer brings dread to many a little one, I myself celebrate 10 cent folders and markers for just $1. But I guess I can see where these kids are coming from, I mean after months of freedom we all have to buckle down and get back to the paper and pencils. What most people may not think about is how teachers and adults feel about this back to school time of year. I feel the following:
- Confusion as to why I picked a job with a location so far away. Seriously, I do not remember the commute being this long, nor people being this slow.
- Stress at trying to perfect the straightness of a bulletin board...a bulletin board that will no doubt be ignored and/or ripped down by October.
- Clever, as in how can I cleverly fit 20 Smart Ones lunches into my freezer for those "emergency" days when making a lunch sounds like climbing Everest.
- Panic because all of the sudden I have to find my ironing board again...okay, okay, I'll be honest- most days I iron my clothes with my hair straightener 2 minutes before I walk out the door, stupid mornings.
- Tired, because let's be real I a. have not had to wake up before the crack of 9 for three months, b. have only had to use brain power to keep track of who is winning on the current episode of Project Runway, and c. have not showered before 2 p.m. in over a week. All of this "work" is tiring!
- Anticipation, as in I cannot wait to see what fun conversations and drama will come up in my workplace that is 99% women :)
Well, I'm off to pick out my new outfit for school tomorrow and go to bed, that's right it's school bedtime again. Good luck my little scholars!
First off...I LOVE that you watch Project Runway. LOVE that.
ReplyDeleteSecondly...I'm so glad someone else irons their clothes with the flat iron :) I do that all the time. Who knows the last time I used the actual iron? HAHA.
Lastly...Loved your post. Good luck with the first week of school!
