Am I addicted to books or just paper?????

Posted in Personal

Help!


I've long admitted to being addicted to books.   Even back in school, I was the local book nut, the one kids went to to determine which book on the approved book list was good and, "oh yeah....can I borrow it from you?"  I had a lot of books then, and I still do.....and homeschooling doesn't help that addiction.

I have thousands of books.  Every room in the house has bookshelves and yet I still have piles of books awaiting a spot on some shelf somewhere!

Tonight I decided to put away the school supplies I had recently purchased from Wally World (that at the time I just threw in the school room).  

Gee willikers, why must I buy school supplies each year when they come on sale?  I know I have a bunch in the supply closet, yet I buy more....just in case.

I have almost 30 packs of paper (the 150 count kind) and about that many 1 subject notebooks as well.  And there's a half dozen or so 3 subject notebooks.  And a couple packs of construction paper.  And a large pack of cardstock.  And index cards.   And none of that includes the paper we keep near the printer(s).....pastel, neon, Christmas, more cardstock....

And people wonder why I don't scrapbook!!      Where would I put all that paper???

And my desk....well, the above picture says it all. 


......maybe I don't have a book fetish after all.....maybe it's just an addiction to paper in general?????

I am right there with you ,but the bad thing in my case is I only have one so I will have enough school supplies to last until my future grandchildren graduate High school

Dust if you must, but there's not much time, with rivers to swim and mountains to climb, music to hear and books to read, friends to cherish and life to lead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ Welcome! ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've finally bitten the bullet and set up a blog! I'd like keep better track of what we do. I never seem to get a diary going, so we'll try this! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm Mom to two beautiful girls, one is 12, the other is 9. We live in the foothills of the Appalachians. We call our homeschool, Anchored in Christ Academy. We love to use literature-based unit studies, mostly from HomeSchoolShare.com. In the past, we have also loved Five in a Row. We have just begun our 7th year of homeschooling. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
