I can tell it’s Back-to-School season. All the local stores have filled their shelves with school supplies, and I’m feeling the need to plan what to send for school snacks and lunches. It’s almost time for a fresh school year to begin, and I want us to Start Happy®. My school shopping list grows a little bit every day.

When I shop, I look for the best deals. And Fruit of the Loom® Bonus Packs are just the kind of thing I’m looking for. Boys and Girls packs come with 3 FREE pairs of underwear. Look for them at Walmart and Target. It’s a new school year, and my kids can feel their best when they wear fresh Fruit of the Loom undies.

My Kids Make It Easy For Me To Be Happy It’s Time To Go Back to School aka My #TGIBTS Story

In my ongoing quest to keep the kids entertained this summer, I thought I had pulled one of my smartest, most ingenius Mom moves EVER when I set up a LEGO table in the garage. I even put a box fan right next to the table, so a gentle “breeze” could keep the kids cool while they played.

This actually was a great idea but for one slight oversight on my part: My boys sometimes fight over their LEGOs. You know how it is when one kid decides he needs the exact same LEGO piece that someone else just happens to be using, and makes a grab for it.

Well, that happened as soon as I left the room. And that huge box filled with 2.5 billion LEGOs that I ever so kindly hauled out to the garage for my boys to enjoy? Well, it got knocked over in the battle for that one LEGO piece. Millions of tiny LEGOs scattered EVERYWHERE in an instant…COMPLETELY covering the garage floor.

And my boys didn’t even seem to notice. The argument over that one LEGO piece ended as quickly as it started and they quietly resumed their happy LEGO building activities.

Enter mom. (That’s me.) I had to literally wade through the LEGO pieces to get to the boys. I was not happy about the mess. At all.

This seems like a good point in my story to interrupt and say, #TGIBTS! (Thank Goodness It’s Back To School)

Incidents like the LEGO mega-mess make it just a bit easier for me to send my kids back to school. I love them more than anything in the world, but I won’t miss having to clean up after them when they go back to class.

    Our #TGIBTS moment is the afternoon I got home from work to discover that the kids had tried to clean the house but instead they made a bigger mess.

  2. Leela says

    My kids hid all of my underwear. It took me a day to find them and they still haven’t told me why they did it.

  3. Trisha McKee says

    My daughter got into my makeup- almost every day. I am out of makeup and out of patience and ready to walk the kid to the bus stop.

  4. Mary Cloud says

    I would have to say going through about four gallons of milk a week has me glad they’re back in school

  6. Brenda Elsner says

    I am glad the kids are back to school. No more fighting over who is going to do what and when. No more toys being drug out and scattered all over the floors. Peace and quiet so this over-night working momma can finally get some rest during the day!!!!

    This is a really cute shirt. I’d totally give it to my mom (the kids grandma) if I won. She lives with us and I think she is breathing a sigh of relief that the kiddos started school again. She is tired! haha. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

    I went to put clothes away in my sons dresser and was shocked when I saw about 15 baby frogs in it!

  10. Amanda Alvarado says

    Dd made a mess of her nice clean playroom (which is doubling as her brother’s room since he moved back in – 14 year difference!)! At least it lasted a few days!

  12. Jenny Q. says

    We had a VERY active, busy summer by just camping, swimming, hiking and with tat I am now ready to switch gears to having a schedule again.

  15. heather says

    I don’t have kids but my friends kids painted the fish tank with a gallon of white paint.

  16. Susan Christy says

    I’m excited about school starting because my neighbor kids stand outside my living room window and torment my dogs.

  19. Rita Spratlen says

    I don’t have any kids that are little. I have a grandson who is starting preschool this year! He is a busy bee and I bet his Mom will be glad for more free time for herself. Nothing exciting that I know about.

    I am happy for back to school due to the boyfriends coming over every day and seeing all of our food going out the door. Six — 6 packs of Coke and Dr. Pepper , six bags of chips, case of Hot Pockets and burritos gone in two days. Come on 8/18… just can’t wait.

  21. katrina g says

    My son was taking an art class, and took his little sister with him, when we were not home. He was in big trouble!
