Well, the school shopping has officially began! We went last night when Brian got home from work and did most of the shopping for Christopher's supplies. 80.00 later we are only lacking a binder (ummm 1.5" is 6.00, 1" is 1.98...guess which size he needs) and shoes and a few new shirts and haircuts. Got lucky and scored an awesome Punisher bookbag for cheap at walmart which was awesomely unexpected and ridiculously cool! Got a cute shirt for Laci that she is gaga over and some snack carriers for after school snacks. Also went ahead and cancelled Christopher's swim classes. Its almost 70.00 a month and while I was sad to do it, we just found out that we now have to pay 90.00 a MONTH (yes every month, even months with 2 weeks of school bc of holidays) for Laci to eat lunch at pre-k....WTF??? She better be eating shrimp and steak for those prices...thanks to america going down the crapper money wise, on TOP of 6 weeks of additional time off school for funding cuts, peachcare now isnt covering food costs starting of course THIS year...lucky me....and now the school refuses to budge and allow outside food so I cant even opt to pack Laci's lunch which upsets me greatly, BUT, what can you do...kinda like Netflix price increasing....I want it, so I qill just have to suck it up and pay the increase....grumble grumble...but let it be known I am NOT happy about any of this! None!!
Taking a break from doing much of anything today. Gonna go through Christopher's shirts and shorts and other dresser drawers and probably clean my bedroom and attempt to make dinner, but other than that, I am pretty much just going to relax. Got my birthday this weekend, but not doing anything much, Saturday I am going to volunteer for a few hours at the church to help with the bookbag school stuff event and then out to lunch with my mom and tiffany. Sunday, as far as I know, we have no plans...which is ok by me. I am not into celebrating my birthday much...I am not a little kid and not overly excited about the day...honestly its just a day I officially go up in age a year...and to me...thats not a whole lot to celebrate...its not like I accomplished anything, lol, so what exactly am I celebrating? Is this another holiday that its acceptable to drink yourself into a coma? I think maybe it is....
Anyhow, next week will be shoe shopping and clothes shopping at the mall, that will be fun. I love shopping for school stuff. Then next week we will probably squeeze in a few fun days even in awful heat just to try and finish the summer break off with a bang before heading back. I know the theater is in the mix, and maybe some monster golf or something fun like that...not 100% sure yet. Probably the mall a time or two and maybe some ice cream out, and the lake i am sure....but we will have to play it by ear and see.
I can't tell if today seems like it is flying by or dragging by yet....I guess if I actually got up and did something I may know for sure...guess I should do that now!
Have a great Thursday!
