But are they showing The best back-to-school commercial ever?

Heh, that's pretty good, but I'm partial to this one:

However, it just depresses me that I have to go back to school with a pay cut, no prep, and a budget mess still yanking school money away from us.

**Covers ears and closes eyes and goes nah-nah-nah-nah!**

Oh, this one comes in a close second, from a few years ago...

There are only five weeks left until some kids (and me) go back to school. Time goes by so fast when you're having fun. Oh, and Worldcon is in three weeks.

I got a promo for them through the boy's school.

They started putting up some xmas decorations in the mall...

BTS sales usually start this time. I get the best deals around this time at Target...which reminds me, I need to get going!

Lotta school districts start their year in mid-August, now - if the Governator shortens the year, it'll be at the end, not the start...

And I just got back from buying said school supplies! It's a guess, though, as I won't get the actual supply list until about mid-August, when all the sales are over. I stock up on the basics (glue, pencils, erasers, crayons), then go get anything I didn't expect.

Some places are already putting up Hallowe'en decorations, as well. How's THAT for early-birding.

Yep. Sigh ... We just got the start-of-school paperwork from Katie's school (Abby's is year round, sort of ...). Also a tuition contract (give me a break). Waiting with bated breath to see who our teacher assignment is. Thus far, we've batted zero-for-three on teacher requests, but the one we didn't request is the one Katie has a crush on (oh my, my 8-year old has a crush, ack!), so she'd be pleased ...
