I've never felt so conflicted about Back to School time.

	I feel weird now that I don't have to be in any kind of rush to buy items. There's a small part of me that feels like I'm missing something. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	If you miss it, there are some back-to-school drives that you can buy school supplies for children that can't afford it. It's not quite the same, but it's a good cause. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh that is a great idea. I may have to go do that. Something weird in me enjoys wandering down the aisles and looking at everything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't think that's weird! School supplies are fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank god, haha. I will definitely make a trip to pick some things up then! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm a teacher, so I guess I'm supposed to like school supplies. Have fun shopping! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Haha, yes you are. And thank you! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're welcome! And thank you! You'll make some student and his parents happy! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I aim to please! I like being able to help out. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You don't want to leave Sam, do you? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	little_elf_lost 2013-08-27 07:38 am UTC (link)
	I don't. I feel like I'm going back too soon! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm a little nervous about going back, myself, but this is for classes, which I know must be different, I think... you're a school teacher, aren't you? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	little_elf_lost 2013-08-27 07:39 am UTC (link)
	Yes. I teach third grade. I normally love it, but now it means leaving my baby at home, and it's hard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	to_zanarkand 2013-08-27 03:55 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, I see! I'm sure that's something that every mother struggles with, even when their children grow up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	little_elf_lost 2013-08-27 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	You're probably right. Even if I took more time off, I'd still feel this way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	to_zanarkand 2013-08-27 11:25 pm UTC (link)
	You have to take that step out of your door eventually. It's scary and you'll miss her, but she'll be there safe and sound when you get home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	little_elf_lost 2013-08-30 07:37 am UTC (link)
	I know. We have good people looking after him. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Conflicted? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	little_elf_lost 2013-08-29 07:52 am UTC (link)
	I love teaching and meeting a new class of students, but I had a baby three months ago and I don't know if I'm ready to leave him to go back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It might be hard at first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	little_elf_lost 2013-08-30 07:38 am UTC (link)
	It is. I think it's one of the hardest things I've had to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isagift 2013-09-02 06:34 am UTC (link)
	Did you think about taking more time off? (Reply to this) (Parent)
