DIDN'T HAPPEN. I count myself lucky to have even remembered yesterday that today is Meet the Teacher Day, so I had just enough time to run by Target after work and pick up a few things.
I had a lower budget than I did last year, but I hope they enjoy a few things they can use in the classroom as they kick off the year.
Each of their teachers will receive a Tide pen to help save her pretty skirt on messy craft days ...
A big bag of M&Ms for that late afternoon when she needs a little pick-me-up to get her through 'til supper ...
A pack of sugar-free gum to freshen her breath after she eats all the M&Ms ...
A cheerful striped notebook to stick in her purse or keep on her desk to jot reminder notes during the busy day ...
A couple of small bottles of hand sanitizer because the germs ... The germs!
And a pack of Wet Ones to quickly clean her hands or wipe off her desk as the need arises.
As much as I wanted to spend an hour putting something together, I just let the time get away from me this year. I'll say it again with the best of intentions: maybe NEXT year I'll get my act together and do something crafty.
But let's not hold our breath.
