today is the first day of school here..I swear its not time yet..
\nso much was supposed to be done by the end of the summer and its not, still waiting and wondering..and getting more frustrated by the day about it.
\nyesterday we went school shopping, for those of you who don’t get to experience this joy let me tell ya..you’re missing out
\nfor those that do, well try it with your ex sometime..
\nI don’t feel comfortable around him, so I tend to talk and ramble on when he’s around to try and cover this..couple this with my kids tendency to talk about anything that strikes them and you have the makings of one hell of a migraine..
\nI think<\/strike> know he’s up to something..
\nanyway..I have a question for you parents out there who tirelessly search the isles for every asinine thing the teachers put on the school supply lists..(you know what I mean, what exactly *are* twist up crayons, crayola glue with the no clog tip (what ever happened to Elmer’s?))
\nI don’t know about where you live, but here the store has the lists for all of the area schools right as you walk in..so it would seem any sane person could look at it and see what types of things parents are going to need to buy for their kids this year right? now wouldn’t it make sense to have said items actually in<\/b> the store so as to make it more convenient for everyone..parent comes in, picks up list, picks up supplies, store makes money..
\neasy right?
\nwrong..
\nevery single year since my kids have been in school there has always been ONE<\/I> item that the store does not have..does not even CARRY!!
\ncan someone please explain the logic of this? especially in this town where the next nearest place one can enjoy such torture (I hate shopping, I really do) is at least 45 min. away? I mean it costs more in gas to get there than the item itself!
\nfortunately..this year I lucked out..
\nwhile said store did not carry it..the local grocery store (and trust me thats giving it a lot more credit that IT’S due) did..
\nwho knew that seeing more of their employees show up at PTA meetings would be such a good thing *s*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
