Sharpened Pencils

A few weeks ago I had to have a root canal and the dentist I went to has a drawing every month and guess what?! YES you guessed it, I WON! I was pretty excited...I told Jake that I felt like I won the lottery LOL! I won a backpack LOADED with school supplies! When I went to go pick up my winnings at the dentist office, the lady at the front desk and I were talking and she said "I bet your kids are going to be so excited!" I was thinking, I only have one baby and I was thinking forget the kids...I'M THE EXCITED ONE!!!! I love school supplies...like on the movie "YOU'VE GOT MAIL" when Meg Ryan talks about loving fall, the smells, like freshly sharpened pencils...that is totally me! Guess you could say that I will be one excited mom for when my kids start school, not because they will be gone, but the smells of pencils, books, and projects! Although I've heard that even in kindergarten kids have a lot of homework YIKES! :)I think I deserved after the pain of a root canal!

Jaxie's Excited! So excited that he couldn't help from drawing all over his legs right before my VT ladies came! Fabulous! At least his shorts covered up most of it!

So funny. I'm also a school supply nerd. I love back-to-school time at the stores and can't help walking down every aisle. Don't know why...

That's so funny you like this time of year (school starting and stuff). Every year at this time of year I start to panic a little because I think I need to start getting ready for school and then I remember that I graduated already. Now I'm gunna have my kids to get ready for but that will be a joyous occation! A whole 4 hours to myself!!!!!! Hahahaha, just kidding! I'll be so sad when they leave for their first day of school.

I am the same way. Daniel has been known to cover my eyes as we walk past the school supplies at the store. He just doesn't get my obession.
I love that line in You've got mail too (and quote it often as I do not hide my love for school supplies), "It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils. Tom hanks woo'ed me right then and there...hands down. Now if only Daniel would send me
some:-)
