I have always been one of those "special" (as Robbie likes to call it) individuals that absolutely LOVE school. I love the learning, the structured schedule, the organization, the planning, and the coming home and getting your homework done right away (like I said, "special"). I loved planning out my first day of school outfit and laying it all out the night before. When we were youngins, Todd and I would even play school during the summer and I thoroughly enjoyed getting through my workbooks each summer. Can you blame a girl for loving learning so much?
The past two years of being in the teacher position hasn't been my favorite thing ever, as you know. I would much rather be the learner (which I did plenty of as a teacher, just in different way). This year, I'm feeling a huge amount of relief that I don't have to go back to that kind of school. I feel so blessed to move on and experience some needed change. However, my heart still aches for back-to-school shopping and planning and organizing. Those were fun, fun times, and hope I can help my children someday enjoy school as much as I did. That may not be possible, but I'm sure I'll have at least one daughter that adores it like I do. Right?
I couldn't find any absolutely adorable pictures of my starting my first day of school, so this one will have to do. If I haven't convinced you of how weirdly awesome I am, here ya go. I married someone weirdly awesome as well. We rock.
Now, excuse me while I go buy some brand new pencils and notebooks. I'll find a use for them somehow.
