I used to be a teacher, but now I'm a SAHM. When I first gave up my career, I felt bad to watch all the teachers going back to school knowing I would not be returning.... The other I witnessed a two year old struggling with this same emotions... the feeling of being left behind. She pouted while her five year old brother filled mom's grocery cart with crayons and backpacks and other fun new items. When the 1st day of school finally came she cried for 1.5 hours. Nothing console this little girl who missed her brother. Do you struggle with back to school blues? Is it because you have to go back, or because you don't get to?

Its funny I found myself in a back to school blues mode. see ever year me and one of my dream friend whom love stationary would go back to school shopping to get cute pens and stuff. Well this year money is tightso i have not been about to do that shoppeing and when everyone starts classes i have to wait until second term due to my transcripts getting lost. Funny how we get use to somthing. I feeling like a am missing a hugh part of life.
