I've been prepared since June
I don't have any in school yet but I think I'll know they are prepared when I feel like we have had productive & fun summers, so much so that they know it's time to hit the books again. And I have a niece that started school for the first time this year and she is just loving it. I could tell she was prepared because she was more than thrilled to go to Kindergarten.

I'm not feeling too prepared! My daughter starts preschool for the first time this year! Ahh!
My daughters are back in school already. I am also back in nursing school. I think they were readier than I was!
I work in a school and I am never ready to give up my summer break. I love having all that extra time with my daughter. However, each year it sneaks up on us...ready or not!
I have no little chickens of my own.
We are prepared. We actually already started school, but now is time to think about which "extra curricular" classes the kids will take this year!
I blogged the contest here http://mygreening.blogspot.com/2008/08/mommies-united-back-to-school-event.html
I have your banner on my side bar http://mygreening.blogspot.com
We are as prepared as we are going to get until we have school orientation tomorrow night. My little one has her tote bag packed and ready to start school for the first time on Wednesday! :)
We homeschool so I always feel prepared, we take things one day at a time!
My two kiddos aren't quite school age yet, but to be honest I am preparing myself for them to be going in the future. I used to be a teacher, so the first days of school are always so exciting. I can't wait for my kids to experience that!
Let's see I have got nap mats on the way and a few other things to buy before this coming Monday. I am gonna go with not completely prepared.
Our little guy is SUPER excited about pre school, it's all he talks about! We completed the list that they give you, of supplies to make sure they have, so hopefully we're ready...I'm still not sure I'm ready to part with him though!!!
I hope so. Great giveaway.
EEP, I was caught up thinking about what a big boy he's becoming, and forgot to leave my contact info!

I am prepared for my kids to go to school. We have all of the necessary shopping done for the time being. I'm ready for the kids to have a regular schedule again, that's for sure.

This will be the first year I was on the ball. All school clothes shopping, school supplies done two weeks before and under budget. It's amazing what you can do when you are broke. It motivates you even more.
For the most part I do. We homeschool so it is more about having everything together than sending them off to school.
I homeschool my 3 kids and I feel prepared (somewhat).

Our daughter is a sophomore at a college ten hours drive from home. Her first college classes start today. We were there this weekend with her and helped her get her half of the dorm room "just so". It is very organized and looks quite cute! We all feel great about her preparations for the new school year!

Wow! Great prizes!
Am I prepared? well, I MUST be prepared! We homeschool! I have to do it all! We actually started in late June and are 41 days into our school year! Just 139 to go!
Well, we've been back a week and I'm not sure we're ever prepared. My 3 year old is in preschool and because of her autism, we did some walk throughs of the school and stuff to get her oriented.
We've done the shopping but my heart is not ready to let my first born go to preschool...even if it is just two days a week.

My oldest daughter started kindy on the 13th, but we were more or less prepared in time. The only thing that we didn't get to, and haven't yet finished is wardrobe shopping. She attends a public school, but the school has a uniform policy. We bought our daughter enough clothes to get by, but we'd really like to pick up a couple extra shirts for her. Plus she still needs some tights, pants, and a cardigan. Otherwise though, like I said, we were pretty much ready. :)

My son isn't in school yet but I fear when the time comes because there is alot of violence in our schools these days.
I definitely feel prepared, mostly because my daughter is still in preschool and there's not as much to do as if she were older. We did get some school supplies to help her continue her learning at home, though :) Email: jennae at greenyourdecor dot com
I wasn't prepared when school started but now that they have been in for about a week... I'm getting there! LOL
I don't have my own children yet, but I have a godson, a little niece, and a little nephew....all of who I adore. Also, I tutor kids, and I always look forward to that, so yes, I'm ready....
Thanks so much!!

I think this is the first year I am ready before the start of the school year.

I just have to organize the bookshelves where our school materials go and then we will be prepared. Kathy
prepared as one can be...
This is my son's first year of school and while we are prepared in the sense that we have all of the supplies we need I don't now if I am emotionally prepared to let him go yet!
I think I am prepared but since it is my first time sending my kid to school we will see. Thanks katie_mmartin at yahoo dot com.
Overall we are prepared and our daughter is much more comfortable about school, she is now in 1st grade. The only thing we need to get done is to take her to the dentist.

My oldest is not ready to go to school yet, but I can tell you I will NOT be prepared when the time comes. I think its going to be hard for me and I never thought that I would be that mom! Thanks!
gomeggo[at]gmail[dot]com
Yes, I can't stand to wait to the last minute to get prepared.
Thanks!

I believe I'm prepared in terms of school supplies, clothes, etc. but emotionally, I'm never ready for it, EVER. I hate when they go back to school.

My kids are prepared. I'm not.

I'm prepared.
Clothes, supplies, etc. yes - we are always prepared. But as I sent my oldest to 5th grade and my youngest to 1st grade (all day!), it was a very hard day for me. I came home and cleaned my house to keep my mind occupied (that was a bonus!) I still wait for 1:50 to get here so I can go get them! Great giveaway - thanks for offering!

I think we are all ready for school to start next week. Our daughter misses her friends and the baby loves the alone time when she is gone. And grandma who babysits daily could really use the time when she only has one kid to watch.
We're ready in that we've done the shopping and it will be nice for the kids to be doing something all day without me, but we need to get on a better bedtime and wakeup schedule.
My little one isn't in school yet, but I am soooo NOT ready for that day to come.
I do feel ready because I can tell that they are ready to go! It takes me awhile to get adjust to the Fall schedule again, but eventually we all do! Thanks for a delightful contest giveaway drawing. Many thanks, Cindi
jchoppes[at]hotmail[dot]com
I'm prepared. All supplies bought, uniforms, shoes, socks, panties. I'm actually looking forward to a few minutes peace everyday.

My grandsons were (sort of) glad to go back
My kids aren't quite school age yet, but I don't think I will ever feel prepared for them to go to school when the time comes!!
Yes I'm super excited and prepared. My daughter will truned three this coming September 4. I have her signed up for the pre-school. It's just sad because they put her on the wait list. But I'm still keeping my fingers crossed.
I also blog about you giveaway. Buttons in my sidebar :-)

We are in year round school so it is a pretty easy transtion - for the track my kids are on - they get a week off in July (school ends right before that) then they are back in for 2 weeks in their new grade. After 2 weeks they track out for 3 and then start school again in late August. We are pretty used to it now. The thing that stinks is that the good school supply sales start AFTER they are in school
I blogged about the contest here:
http://janne.cc/blog/2008/08/30/great-giveaways/
Enter me please! I think we're as ready to get school going as we're going to be! LOL
Well it feels like we've emptied out the bank account on new clothes and school supplies so I'm ready for back to school. However, my daughter is entering high school this year so her days are up and down as you can well imagine!

Since I am the principal of my kiddos school, we ALL have to go back! I never seem to be ready to go back, but once we are back into our routine, things fall into place. I love being with my kids all day!
Don't really feel ready, just back from vacation and school starts on Wednesday. Still tired!!! No school supplies yet for one kid!
I also blogged about the back-to-school week & giveaways here:
http://aspritzofsis.wordpress.com/2008/08/31/mommies-united-celebrate-back-to-school/
Have a great week!
I was...my daughter started 1st grade a couple weeks ago and she loves it!!!
I feel as prepared as could be. Thanks, ecfreitas579@hotmail.com
My daughter is only 6 months so I have a few years before I have to deal with this. But I already know that I won't feel prepared at the time
My two daughters are looking forward to returning to school tomorrow. They've used their babysitting money to buy most of their own school supplies and still have overflowing closets, so new clothes are a non-issue.
Ready - yes - we are!
We've been back in school for 2 weeks, and starting to settle into a routine. My 4 year old starts preschool tomorrow. I'm a bit nostalgic about that!
I think so. We have lunch boxes ready. We have morning schedules figured out and we have school supplies ready. If we can now just get one on the bus on time and the other 2 to school on time we will be doing good!!
My daughter will be going to preschool. Am I physically prepared? Yes. Mentally prepared? Heck no!
Clothing wise we are ready, but supplies we could have used a few more things. The teens didn't get a list yet, seems after the first day (Sept. 2) they have all these items they need so I'm waiting.
I always have mixed emotions when my 3 children head back to school. I feel somewhat prepared emotionally, but I am no where done with their back to school shopping, and once the first week is over with I know there are going to be lots of little extras we are going to have to purchase for them as well. I am prepared in terms of transportation, schedules, food, and some school supplies, but it seems like this summer just flew by and I was caught off guard with leaving things for the last moment!
joannaonthelake@gmail.com
I do! We've been shopping, talking, getting our schedule in line. I think we'll do OK.
jennem22 at yahoo dot com
As a teacher, I hard darn well better be prepared and you can bet I am!
While I'm intellectually prepared for my children to go to school (based on adequate clothing/shoes, backpacks, lunch boxes, school supplies, the joy of the children renewing friendships, growth through intellectual challenges/learning, more personal time for me, etc.;) I feel mixed emotions at the thought of letting go of my children.
lizzauski@hotmail.com
We were doing the Staples shopping cart dance as we were prepared and ready.
risanjax(at)metrocast(dot)net
I feel like I have done everything on "the list" for school. I can't think of anything that I can get at this point to have them more physically prepared. Mentally, I don't know if I can ever truly prepare them. Things are so much harder. There is so much growth in our area. There are all kinds of issues from making sure they are getting everything they need from their classes, safety, health, etc. I think it's much harder now than when we were in school.
Yes, and no! We have most of what we need - still a few things left on our shopping list. The biggest part I'm not ready for is sending my baby off to kindergarten, and that I think will only come with time!
(mommymatters at gmail dot com)
Yes, it's all good here. But something always seems to come up after the first day, but no biggies.
We have completed the first week of school and all went well. The hardest part is getting them to go to bed early.
Physically prepared for my little boy to start pre-k... yes. Mentally prepared... NO! It's going to be such an adjustement for me. I'm sure he'll have fun.
Thank!
missxus (at) yahoo (dot) com
NO! Not ready at all! This will be the first time my twins are going to school,mind you it is only two days a week for preschool but still! I am not ready and have no idea what to expect..........
My kids are not quite school-aged yet, but can i say that I'm not yet ready for summer to be over yet!?
Yep, I'm prepared and sooooo ready.
gkstratos@yahoo.com
Unfortunately I'm never prepared for my kids to start back at school...our budget is always very tight and shopping just puts us in a deep strap that needs another 2 months to recover from :)
I have also blogged about this giveaway at http://www.blogfully.net
The kids are ready to rock-n-roll and can't wait! A new year, a new adventure!
I seem to always have the list of supplies completed but can never get them to school on time. More than anything, I am never prepared emotionally. It is always a new grade (thankfully), new teachers, new friends, new phases...
When I think I have things down, it always changes. It keeps me on my toes.
I'm never prepared for them to return to school. My kids are my entire world, and I'd rather keep them home with me, than to ever send them off to school. I have a few school supplies I still have to buy, although they started school a few weeks ago.
thanks for the great contest!
My nephew is still too little for school, but I look forward to helping him get ready when the time comes!
School started back last week here! And NO, I'm never prepared, no matter how hard I try! lol
Thanks for the great giveaways!
tabithaslone(at)gmail(dot)com
We got all the shopping and stocking up done early because we knew DH was going to be downsized out of his job by the time school started. We're prepared until the snow starts to fly - still gotta get new snow boots is all.
We are more than prepared! The kids were bored out of their skulls when the school opening was delayed 2 days due to bad weather. Now the schedules are all fixed and everyone has what they need. Things are good.
nope still have lots to buy...
School started here in S.C. 2 weeks ago. I'm raising my Grandson who started K5. It's been really bad, he can't get use to the change, I can't get use to him crying, I cry too when I leave the school. The easiest part was getting the school supplies, clothes was a different story. He's tiny, J.C. Penney has the clothes that fit best. Wal-mart, his underware, socks and etc. As for as school, hopefully it will get better soon... thanks!
school started 2 weeks ago so yep we are ready
pugsly77@mail.com
My boys are back in school so I have more time to play. I make myself complete at least one task a day. So far I have defrosted the freezer, cleaned out the pantry, and really scrubbed all the bathrooms.
Well since all my kids are in their 40's, there really isn't much to worry about. And they have kids of their own to get off to school.
Yes, prepared as much as possible, and looking forward to some alone time to get the house back in order.
Definitely prepared for my daughter to start preschool again. I love seeing all the items she creates while there.
wheresmywhitepicketfence(at)yahoo.com
I have them prepared as much as i possibly could have prepared them. It is me who is not prepared.
egreca (at) hotmail {dot} com
Definitely not prepared!!! School started today and I didn't have 1/2 of the things on my daughter's list. We got in late last night from a trip and missed the whole meet your teacher experience. My daughter didn't even know her teacher's name because I had forgotten to take in the proof of residency. Luckily it all worked out, the first day pictures look great and probably the kids didn't even realize how crazy mom was feeling. And as far as school supplies go, it's not like they actually used them today anyway.
I have five kids and yes I am prepared for school!
I don't think I'm ever ready for them to go back emotionally. Some days it's nice but most others I'd like to have my baies home with me. As far as supplies and such, we're pretty well set though I'm sure there will be some suprise needs.
Thanks so uch for your blog and the contest!
Yep
I think I am prepared physically. I mean, they HAVE to go to school but emotionally, I'm not so sure. They grow up so fast!
fertawert AT yahoo DOT com
The kids are not but I am cause they argue all the time and were bored.
erma.hurtt@sbcglobal.net
I try and get most of what they need right away at the back to school sales but I know I will be out shopping again in a few weeks to get the stuff we forgot or the things that are added to the list.
terrific
I hope we are prepared because mine have already started! I got a jump start on the uniforms and the only thing I was looking for at the last minute was belts!

I think we are but it always feels like we forgot something
Are you ever ready? Just when you think you are, something happens and you need more stuff!!
I'm absolutely ready for them to go back. It was a loooong summer! ;-)
no, not really, we went back earlier this year, so it was a quick summer
Summer is our favorite time of year, but back to school time has come! It is always fun to shop for back to school supplies and new school clothes! Thanks senekers[at]comcast.net
School is in it's 2nd week here. All 3 kids are in school and I just don't know what to do with myself! I look forward to them leaving in the morning and I look forward to them coming home in the afternoon
alegnahas3@comcast.net
My kids are just a bit too young to be starting school yet, but we'll be getting them in a toddler program this fall. I'm feeling very nervous at the prospect of my darlings starting any kind of class - seems like just yesterday that they were not even able to sit up!
Prepared? You are funny. I find it's best just to jump on, hold tight, and try to hang on til the end of the year.
great contest I would love to win
yes I think so
I don't think I'll ever be ready I always think I'm ready & find I forgot somthing
I am about as prepared as I can be!!!
cjnedrow@gmail.com
I definitely was not prepared! Thank goodness I still have some time left (now that school has started) to get the not-so-necessary items.
I am not at all ready for school to start, still trying to get classes together for my children
all 3 kids were happy to get back to school, we started early shopping with our school list.The house is quiet with out them
tiramisu392 (at) yahoo.com
he's not old enough for school yet, but when he is I don't think I will be prepared for it emotionally. I love being home with him...
School started today and everything went well so I guess we were prepared.
My daughter has been back in school for almost three weeks and we were very prepared this year. I miss her during the day but absence makes the heart grow fonder LOL
My oldest son started Kindergarten on August 11th and boy did I feel unprepared. I've been away from the whole school thing now for so long that I was really amazed at how different it is now as opposed to when I went to school. Fortunately, we all made it through and things seem to be going well. I just got a call from my son's teacher that he has been nominated for Student of the Month!
jlilleysprint@earthlink.net
Ugh. My kids went back on August 27th and I did not feel ready. I don't think we were ready for the summer to be over! Thanks...k-team@comcast(dot)net
I can honestly say I am never prepared for anything fully with the boys. School was just the most recent, I wasn't prepared for all the school supplies and them growing up, taking buses and doing homework. It makes me feel old.
I never feel I am ready. I wish I would have been able to buy the boys more outfits for school (they received 2 each) for back to school. The school knows that they cater to a lower income bracket and we only have to pay a supply fee one time a year ($25 per child)
I am prepared with all the supplies and helping with the homework. The only thing we are adjusting to is my son's new early morning schedule for Middle School. Neither of us enjoy getting up in the dark at 6 AM!
I have tissues and a great poker face.
This year, we moved during the summer and we didn't get a chance to vacation, so I think school seemed to come out of nowhere. I have a large family and one of the things I hate most is filling out all that paperwork. Especially those emergency cards! vidomich(at)yahoo(dot)com
We have bought everything they need and they are prepared in that way for back to school but emotionally I'm not prepared because my youngest is starting school this year and it's hard to let my baby go!
So ready!
My kids went back to school before Labor Day. I was MORE than ready. We had a LONG summer. They were happy to go back, too.
We will take it day by day.
pornpira at gmail dot com
As far as supplies I think we are pretty ready to go as I tend to pick up things through the summer. Emotionally though is another story as my youngest starts school for the very first time and I admit that there will be a lump in my throat when he gets on the bus and waves goodbye.
bmagical@cableone.net
i am prepared i did wait last minute for there supplies which i hated doing every thing is harder to find i have 3 girls with all these things i have to get its not very fun
I did everything I could to prepare my 16 year old for school. The rest is up to her.
penguinchick@comcast.net
Well, I'm the teacher (homeschool), so I have a lot of work to do. We made it through our first (short) week though and it went okay.
My kids started school back in August and I was in no way prepared for them to both be in school. Yeah, we had everything they needed but I still was having issues with how creepy quiet my house was without either of them home. Now I have embraced the creepiness and have become the classroom mom for grades K through 2nd.
We're as prepared as we can be, I guess!
Thank you.
Physically prepared yes.
Physically prepared yes.
No! I am SO not prepared! :(
froggypartyof2@aol.com
They are plenty prepared and its time for a little relaxation during the day, LOL!
Trying to prepare for any major event is always challenging. I'm goig to say no.
My daughter doesn't start school till next year, but I'll never be prepared for her first day!! The other part of me wishes she could go this year just so I could have a little time to myself. Does that make me selfish?
I am SO NOT ready for them to be back in school now! It is a major battle to get my 9 year old son to sit down and complete the truckload of homework he has every night! It is also really difficult to keep up with everybody's projects and special events! Next year, my only daughter will start Kindergarten and then all of my children will be in school! lanemarinab@aol.com
I thought I was prepared, but I ended up having to go shopping for more supplies after the first day of school. Teachers wanted plastic baggies, tissues, and paper towels. I have to say, I've been eying up that cupcake courier for a really long time! I love, love, love it! Thanks for the chance to win.
Twins already started last week and I still am not 'prepared'. Seriously missing the lazy days of summer when all I had to do was work and get them to cheer/tumbling. Now we're back to rushing morning to night. Thanks
We are not prepared. We just realized that my daughter has no sneakers or pants that fit her - she grew so much this summer. We also need to get a new backpack and supplies.
For the first time in 20 years I am not sending a child off to school. My youngest son graduated last June.
We are into week 2 here. I was prepared for the most part.
She starts pre-school this year and I cannot believe it's time already! I have a feeling she'll do a lot better than we will!

tarah716[at]ymail.com
i have felt very prepared for my 3rd grader but the college freshman is throwing me for a loop! Wasn't he just in kindergarten last year???
I am no where near ready for my kids to go back to school! This is such a hectic time. I love summer vacation. Things are much more relaxed then.
Now that my teenage son is older, it seems that they never give supply list out, so you have to wait for school to start and then go crazy trying to find this certain calculator, or binder, since supplys are very limited and picked thru already.

Public schools for older students started in mid-August and for elementary students the following week. Mentally it's so hard to send them off to school practically in the middle of summer. I feel like school shouldn't start before Labor Day.
I've never had a problem when they start school. I think it's because I always loved school so much and I'm excited for them.
There were some amazing sales for school supplies and clothes so that wasn't a problem.

As prepared as we're gonna get, and then run out the night before for SOMETHING :)

My kids started back last week and we were very prepared and the kids were extremely excited!
It was much easier this year than last year, when she was going to kindergarten after being home with me her whole life. Still, I wasn't fully prepared as we went on vacation the weekend before school started and it made everything feel kind of rushed on that Tuesday morning.
I do feel prepared. I'm ready for life to become a little more "scheduled". I'm prepared for the return of homework, and my kids coming home excited from a day of learning. I'm just a little prepared with how much I miss them when they're at school!
Ready? I was ready for them to go back 3 days after they got finished last year. The only thing I'm never ready for is the long list of additional school supplies each teacher sends home with them the first week of school. UUGGHHH!!!
I am absolutely physically prepared as far as the supplies, uniforms, etc., but mentally I really miss them terribly. ashlyn@chuparkoff.com
oooooooooooooooh my i have been waiting patiently since they started summer vacation..i was very prepared :)
I was physically prepared for my daughter to go back to school, but I was NOT prepared emotionally. My baby was starting 5th grade...her last year of elementary school! Where has my baby gone? She's growing up...I am just learning to deal with it!
Oh yeah!
pretty prepared, same old, same old.
My kids have been back in school for almost 3 weeks and we still need something else each week.
Are you kidding????? Like my Mom before me, I am always totally ready! Just kidding, my son is older now, and has actually finally started college - so yes, I am more than ready!

We're always prepared weeks before school starts.
I'm definitely ready for school to start again --- although there's always something else that we'll need after a few days.

I do miss my two oldest now that they are back in school, but I must say it is nice not to have them fighting all the time! When they are in school they get along so much better! Yes, I am glad that they are back to school, and we were very prepared.
Ooo, dang, I had better be prepared! We started school two weeks ago! :-)
No,I never feel prepared.Basically
I am but something always seems
to come up at the last minute.
The start of the school year is
so stressful.Thanks for the great
