Wow! I haven't been posting in a while. School starts next week for my two oldest jumpin monkies. The 3 y0 is going to preschool and the 5 year old is going to Kindergarten! I can't believe it. Kindergarten! I feel like he is being pulled out of my womb again! But this time, it won't be my loving arms there to hold and protect him. I'm so excited for him but scared and anxious for him, too. I know how kids can be and how will I handle his hurts?

I'm sure I'll be back to write about it on Wednesday when it actually happens.

Here's vent, though, on buying school supplies:

School supplies! I have a one in Pre-K and one Kindergartener and have spent approx $150 on school supplies. I had to buy paper towels and 4 boxes of wipes and "treasure box trinkets" and kleenex boxes and 4 different types packaged construction paper and 6 boxes of markers and 5 boxes of crayons. I literally had to buy 20 sticks of AND 4 large bottles of glue! Then there's the folders and scissors and paints and play doh and back packs and lunchboxes and water bottles...good grief!! What does all this have to do with the three R's?? Why am I buying paper towels for a school that I am paying nearly $200 A MONTH for my child to attend??!! I don't understand it!

Until next time!
