Critical error….going to Target in the afternoon right before the launch of a new school year! One would be tempted to think the alert regards the number of frazzled moms toting youngsters as they fulfill digital supply lists. (No paper copies anymore.) However, that is not the problem.
The issue – I just want to buy school supplies all over again! Who doesn’t? The promise of organizing a year with a spanking new pencil case, “Trapper Keeper,” (which I never had) colored pens and Sharpies, cheerfully-colored Composition notebooks, (which never get used) and folders in every color of the rainbow, all of these beckon to me annually. I’ve tried to get my “fix” by donating school supplies when there is a drive somewhere. However it really is more fun to have the child in tow selecting the supplies which will obviously guarantee a successful year. Obviously! Maybe those school supply drives should provide a child to make the experience more fulfilling?
I’ll just be satisfied with my new package of Bic crystal pens in cool colors like purple, lime green, turquoise, pink…and continue to donate to the supply drives sans the child.
Best one yet 🙂
I just did this with Mya! I agree so much fun, the temptation to buy bigger than required is still there. I stood my ground though and did not give in to the temptation despite all the glitter and fun designs.
I know!!!! Too much fun and memories. How I loved that school shopping. Glad you still get to do it.
As a recipient of beautiful colored Bic pens from this prolific author, I thank her for her generous donations. I hope I can write as colorfully as she does!
I did get it!!! Hope you get this one, friend.
