USB flash drive
5 binders
3 packages of dividers

The USB flash drive was my first dose of reality that we're not just in elementary school any longer. My oldest heads off to middle school in a few weeks, and wow! What a difference in the school supply list!
But really, how exciting is this time of year? I love it. I love back to school shopping just as much now as I did when I was a kid! I really do enjoy all the new notebooks, boxes of crayons and sharpening pencils for the very first time....
I also love knowing that very soon...30 days to be exact...all 3 of my children will be out of the house and off to school for the entire day. I have been waiting for this day for 5 years, and I never thought it would get here!
Now don't start shooting. I love my children as much as the next mother...more even. But I also love being able to go to the bathroom without hearing someone knock on the door in sync with the words "Mom!" I just like to be able to actually hear myself breathe once in awhile.
I'm not sure yet what I will do with that 6 hours of alone time. For the first few days...probably absolutely nothing other than to do a celebratory dance in a "David-like" manner (if you're scratching your head saying, "huh?"...just watch the video)
