Obviously I am not the one going to back to school. And even funnier is that I do not know anyone going back to school. My youngest cousin will be starting college but that is different. This time of year is special. When I go to Wal-Mart or Target all of the newness of notebooks and pencils that have never been sharpened excites me. When I was in school, I loved getting my school supplies. I always wanted the 64 count crayons, but my mom never saw a need for that so I got the 24...still a good number. And I was always secretly jealous of the kid you had the biggest box of crayons with the built in sharpener, this is because the big box had the silver and gold crayon...hence now my love for most things that sparkle!!! Although I love the back to school season, I feel bad for parents who have to spend the money on these school supplies. When you look at the lists that the teachers have it is crazy. Long gone are the days when you take with you on the first day of school one folder, a couple of pencils and a pink pearl eraser. Honestly, I could probably set up a lawn chair in the school supply section and watch everyone come through and pick school supplies. Better yet...they could pay me to sit there and help kids get everything they need while their parents continue shopping. That sounds like a pretty good job!!!
