while at Target yesterday....

 saw they were unpacking the school supplies......my grandson was pretty glum after that...lol

 

looks like Camp Rock is going to be big....

 

school starts Aug 11 here.....

 Shelley, tell him to not feel too bad.. kids are still in school here!! will get out next week and go back day after labor day!  it is still so quiet during the day here!!

Did you happen to notice Target's price for the 24-box of Crayolas?  I'm on the lookout for a really good price.  I usually pick up 40 or 50 boxes this time of year.  What I don't give out at Halloween gets donated to the church around the corner or to a friend whose daughter is a pediatric nurse (she takes them to the hosp.).  

You give out Crayons at Halloween?!?  Too Cool!  I'm going to go T or T'ing at Chez Summer this year!

my ds goes to band camp in a few wks..this year will have to buy him a new backpack..

I know!!!!!!!!!1 I realized yesterday that I have right at 5 weeks until we start school and I just don't want to even think about it especially after the _(*^(*^)_&(*^ year I had last year. I tell you I could walk away today and not have 1 regret.

It is really easy to do Mags... trust me!!! 

Oh, my, Aug. 11th seems so early. The summer is FLYING by.  DD goes back Aug. 25 or 28th, something like that.

 well they get out the middle of may...so it's right on track...

 

didn't seen any crayons yet........

"""""""""""It is really easy to do Mags... trust me!!!""""""""""" I know akfishergirl. It sounds easy. But not exactly when I would only clear about $400. a month even after putting in over 23 years. If I stay for 7 more I'll clear around $800. a month. SAD HUH!!!!!!!!!! Doesn't seem like it's worth it for me to stay but with a mortgage, a car note and we just got our son his first car (Ours really but it's for his use) I'd have to carefully weigh my pros & cons. I could get other work and still add that $$$$$$$ to my $400. a month but my body is giving out (bad knee, bad wrist, bad back). At least at this job when I have to sit I can and still do my job. At another job I'm afraid I'd be on my feet all day. This job really it's more the emotional stress that's taking it's toll on me. My hormones are really beginning to show their ugly side and I'll have to really watch my mouth this year with a new teacher. I have to keep the old grudges with Superintendant, Special Ed director and other aide in the class to myself or I might find myself out of a job and not by my choosing. But like I told hubby just recently, when I've had enough I'm grabbing my purse and I'm leaving and he had better not say 1 word. Also I told the teacher that went thru all of the H**L last year that it's a wonder I have any tounge left after biting it all year & not saying exactly what I felt like saying. I really need to just get my mind back to being THANKFUL I have a job, thankful that I can get there (only 10-15 minutes away) without it costing us and arm and a leg, THANKFUL that I get off 2 1/2 months for Summer and about 5 or so weeks off in between for holidays and thankful I've been at the same school for all of those years(unheard of most of the time-----I don't adapt well to change). I need to keep reminding myself that the pros outweigh the cons and NOT LET ANYBODY STEAL MY JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!! either 2 years or 7 years I can do it by the Grace of God. akfishergirl , thanks for reminding me about the blessings this job has. I need that often.

OK, but I must warn you......It's BYO Coloring Books... 

School supplies already its so early but I know i will be seeing them here to.  School doesn't start till the end of august here.

We were in CNY this past weekend and my DIL has her school shopping done for the 2GD's.  She caught the sales and saved almost $300.   Most of the tops were from $4 - $7.  Can't beat that.
