Back to School {and Sale!}

Do you want the good news or bad news first? Good news?
Okay, it’s actually pretty exciting!!! TPT’s huge Back to School Sale will be taking place this Sunday, August 18th and Monday, August 19th. I have sooo been looking forward to this sale that it made actually going “back to school” much more enjoyable. You don’t want to miss this. My entire store will be 28% off when you use the code: BTS13!

Thanks for the graphic, Courtney Gragg!
Now for the bad news.
I. am. back. to. school. It’s true, I’m here. It’s bittersweet. I mean, I do have the best job anyone could ask for but it also means getting up at 5:30 in the morning and this is just something I am not ready for :-).

My first day back was Wednesday. My husband can practically recite what I’m going to say before I even open my mouth when I walk in the door after my first day. Things like:
“I don’t think I can do this, this year.”
“I’m stressed out.”
“How will I ever get all those IEPs written?”
“What if I miss scheduling someone?”
“Am I actually a good speech therapist?”
Thankfully, he’s used to this. They were the lines I said after every first day of high school, a new semester of college, and now, a new work-year. He was prepared this year. When I came home, he had this waiting for me! This swing, he said, could be used as sort of a “stress reliever” for those not-so-good days. Isn’t he amazing?!

Okay, back to “school” stuff. Here were my must-have school supplies this year that made my list.
