A lot of my friends' & family's kids have already started back at school...fortunately, our county is one of the last in the area to start back, allowing me more time to procrastinate and wait until the day before school starts to finish back to school shopping. And immunizations. Because that's how I roll...I like to keep it super exciting and stressful.
I've been buying school supplies for 15 years...they're still expensive. And parents are cutthroat when it's time to find them. Thank goodness Office Depot is usually a pretty reliable last minute stop, full of supplies...some aren't where they're supposed to be...and they don't have everything (well, school starts tomorrow, so that one's really my fault)...and the aisles are small...and the huge-SUV-driving-rude-getoutofmyway-navigate-their-carts-like-they-do-their-cars moms took up too much of those aisles...but they have almost everything and are close to home. I think I got hit on in the aisle with dividers...that was kind of hilarious. Especially when I saw what I look like...shorts, Red Hot Chili Peppers teeshirt, horrible sandals, sweating, trying to keep track of how much I was spending in my head, and getting frustrated with the HSDRGNTCLTDTC moms, and my go-to hairstyle, the ponytail/bun/messy mess...he must've been having a day a little like mine.
Had Chloe and Ethan with me, so we made a fun day of it...including Cici's Pizza. I had salad because I didn't feel like having diarrhea tonight. Then home for the kids to put their supplies into their bookbags and get ready...one last day of play for Chloe and Ethan before school starts, and one last day of nonstop gaming for David before school starts...Rachel is hitting the community college tomorrow, and Brendan is back at the dorms.
Chicken teriyaki for dinner, Chloe has already practiced her makeup for tomorrow (uhhhh what???), the Bucs game on television...good night, y'all :)
