Back to School Supplies

Back to school supplies have always meant so much to me. For years it meant I'd get to meet my new teacher, start a new year, and make new friends. They meant I'd get to learn cursive, how to complete a long division problem, and my favorite...make artwork for my family.

Then, when I grew up :), school supplies meant it was time to meet my very own class full of kids and love on them with all my heart. I loved watching the kiddos set up their desks every year. The joy in their faces made me one happy teacher. School supplies were part of my true passion.

Now, school supplies make me have a yucky feeling in my tummy. I always get teary eyed walking through the aisles missing my job and the kids that made quite a difference in my life! This may not be normal, but it's what I struggle with! Trent and I were unpacking the final boxes last week and one of my teacher bins had broken during the move. I grabbed another bin to transfer the items and tears started falling. Trent knew exactly. I thought I was doing better! :(

So, today I am making a promise to myself. Next time I see those bright yellow boxes of crayons, I am going to remember that I am still a teacher at heart. I'm going to realize that I'm a stay at home mom now and that's ok to say! I have an identity, I have my own little student, and I am smart. I'm thankful for my new job and I will live vicariously through my sweet friends who do teach. They are the best and I am so thankful that we've kept the friendships we have and SO thankful that they let me help out in their classrooms. xo

What do school supplies mean to you??

Still loves to be outside!
So good with his hands...he can piece little toys together, stack blocks, and work on puzzles
Hides or runs to anyone but me when I say, "Time to go night night!"
Tried to stand on his rocking horse and he loves jumping off his Collins chair {wild boy}
Loves steak, pork, chicken, cheese, watermelon, cheerios, goldfish, milk...veggies are still in the form of baby food....
