School 📒📓📒

School starts tomorrow in my town. Even though it has been forever since I or my family has been in school, I feel like I need a notebook. LOL Every September. 📓

@QVCkitty1 - Even though our children are out of college now, everything I'm involved in starts again in September. I have meetings almost every night and I have to plan some day and night meetings. Annual reports are due shortly.

Can I go back to summer now? LOL!

Western NC started a week ago, and I feel I need to make lesson plans!

School always starts here in NY after Labor Day. This year is actually a day later than usual.

I always feel like I need to go clothes shopping. Such fond memories of getting my new school outfits.

@Porcelain I still remember what I bought the first year I was allowed to go school clothes shopping myself with my friend. It was a white dress with purple dots. Don't remember how old I was but that was a big deal.

Once a year I was taken to the local stationary store for school supplies. I loved that store, no other store smelled like it. It's gone now and book stores are disappearing too. Remember millner stores that just sold hats?

Do remember buying new school supplies each year that we needed. !st we'd take inventory of what was left over from the previous school yr. New shoes for school .

I was so happy when a protractor and compass were on the list of my 9th grade school supplies that I needed . I was intrigued with why and how to use these math tools for Geometry . I quickly found out that one had to memorize the 7 Theorums and 5 Postulates .

Just like my almost 90 year old father, I hated anything that has (or had) to do with back to school. STILL!

The only plusses were buying all new clothes and shoes and seeing the BOYS. (I.was.boy.crazy.)

I pretended to enjoy it all for my own three children and never owned up to it --- how I really felt. It was a drain and it was a strain.

Other than 1st day back to school jitters for my grandchildren, who as of this week are all in session now, they really seem to enjoy it. I hope so.

@Meowingkitty same here in Atlanta. I even forgot about the start date because my niece and nephew go to SCAD and they start next week. It seems so strange.

A new box of Crayola crayons with the sharpener in the back. That was a BIG deal as a child, lol. How they smelled when you opened the box......all part of the Back To School moment. I can smell that smell

I was Secretary to the Principal for 13 years. For me, then, and somehow still, New Year's Eve is Labor Day and first day of school is equivalent to January 1!

Have a great school year!

@FiddleDeeDee

Did you melt crayons on the radiators? There was something about that fleshtone and burnt umber...

I want the 64 box of Crayola crayons. It had the sharpener on the bottom of the box. I can remember how the new crayons smell.

I'm always a little sad when the kids go back to school. No more sounds of kids playing in the neighborhood or riding bikes around and the worst part is no more grand kids coming over to spend the day. I will miss it all till next summer!

Always a good idea to stock up on a few spiral notebooks when they are 25 cents or so..great for making lists, etc. Wheny I was still in education I always bought about 100 of them to give students who always showed up with no paper and no pen...so old habits are hard to break. Now I buy 5 or 10 and they last DH and me the year...also buy highlighters, pens, and white-out for my Bible notes. Everyone needs school supplies!
