I love this time of year and that commercial from a few years back where the dad is dancing around the office supply store to the music 'It's the most wonderful time of the year' as he's gathering school supplies for his two children who are dragging their feet behind him! I always start singing that song with my children at Target as we're shopping! It's a tradition now!
I have one quilt that I need to make an appt to rent a long arm at a LQS. I'll quilt it after my children go back to school next week.
Seeing how I just started working 3 years ago, I too have a long time before I can retire. They'll have to kick me out! I absolutely LOVE my career!
