10. The days are increasingly shorter and the to do lists are increasingly LONGER.
9. Instead of planning my entire day around going to a dollar store or the Target dollar spot, I am now planning my days around getting into the school building.
8. Every time I go to school I have to get a flat bed cart to bring my load into my classroom.
7. I am currently printing out more name labels then I care to admit too.
6. Monday through Friday I have to wear dress clothes.
5. My "fun" money becomes "the kids really need this" money.
4. I have spent over 250 dollars on school supplies.
3. I start calling Ross the Hamilton Fund, supporting kids educations and my teaching hobby since 2008.2. I recorded my name in a whiny voice and have it playing repeatedly as I set up my classroom just to desensitize my ears to the sound. If I could simultaneously be tapped on, tugged on, and followed around the room I would add that to my teacher training.

Every waking moment I think about something else I want and need to do for my classroom and my students!
