Back To School!

I love going back to school for quite a few reasons:
1. I love being on a schedule
2. Back To School Shopping!! new clothes, new pens, new pencils, new post-its!!!! Need I go on?
3. I get to go back to seeing my friends on a regular basis again!
4. I'm going to be a teacher, so clearly I love that whole school thing!
5.  Back to school clothes sales!!

Anyway, I got to thinking since today was my last first day of academic classes!  I started thinking about all my first days of school!!  When I was little, I was scared to go to school for the first time so my mom gave me a back pack teddy bear and I called her Lee.  My big seester had one named Louise (our middle names).  Whenever I got scared or missed my mom, I went to my back pack to sneak a peak at my teddy! I've always loved that idea and have been adamant that my children will have little back pack bears of their own one day. (one day very far away)
