And hey sj!! I've missed y'all something terrible. I'm making an effort to be back here and be present. Be prepared to be bored to shit with Tales of Second Grade.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

That is awesome! I'm so glad you're a teacher. Are you paying for all of that out of pocket because that must be pricey for you.

No. I was lucky this year. First, because I have super generous friends who took me up on my gone begging for supplies at my birthday this year and we actually got a classroom budget due to the new program our school started. And it's actually going pretty well. I haven't had to replace as much as I had feared I was going to.

That's great! I was the girl who could never find her pencil.

It's helped a lot. Their pouches are kept on their tables and they carry it with them all day. It's cut back on so much pencil finding time and wandering the room for pencils or interrupting me in the middle of lessons.

Seriously. I remember having a variety of pouches or containers of some kind to keep that stuff in, but none of my teachers ever audited them! I always had enough supplies, because I was anal as hell, but I got borrowed off of so many times, just for that reason.

It's funny. When we don't audit, my kiddos get pissy.

My son was (is) the kid who during pencil pouch audit would turn out to have 187 pencils in his pouch. He picks up the ones the kids drop on the ground. Once after a class field trip he came home with 7 pencils in his pocket.
