First Day Of School

I'm apprehensive about Mina's schooling. The girl deserves more than our local public schools can offer. However, it's either that, homeschool, or Catholic school. Public school is simply the only option. I know it won't be challenging at all to her. The girl reads like a champ. She was reading to me the shampoo ingredients in the other day: "Sodium Lauryl Soulfate, Cocamidoropyl Tetaine, Sodium Chloride..." So I picture her sitting in the kindergarten class room relearning the ABC's. How sad. (It's part of the reason we are considering moving.)

It felt weird to be school supply shopping for the first time in a decade. Things have changed. No metal lunch-boxes. No paste. No Trapper Keepers. But Lisa Frank is still there gaudy as ever. Of course that is what Mina picket out.
