I bought a ton of back-to-school supplies today. I didn't originally intend to do that, but once I started with a couple things, I just kept right on going. I always get sucked into the dollar section near the entrance of Target and from there it snowballed. I only need a few other items before the beginning of the school year. I know it seems kind of silly to be school shopping in July, but I also don't want to wait too long into August because then it's slim pickin's. I was especially grateful to the lovely Target employee who did not make me count out again all 140 notebooks that I was purchasing while at the checkout. The last two years I've had to count them out with the cashier and I always feel like that customer holding up the line. This lady just asked how many and called it a day. Buying school supplies is always uplifting. It just brings about feelings of new promise. My favorite purchase of the day was a blue composition book with a giant, glittery shoe on the front. This of course will be my notebook for faculty meetings. I always need to add a bit of pizzazz.
It will definitely be weird starting the school year knowing that I'm only going to be there until February and then *poof* Motherhood. I've wrapped my brain around the fact that I'm pregnant - the fact that I would do anything for a sugar cookie right now proves it - but it's still difficult to grasp the concept that I will be a mother. Wow. Now that's a role that has new promise.
