$chool $upplies

I just finished school supply shopping for the kids. Oh. My. Gosh. Seriously? I can feed my family of 6 plus two day care kids for over a week for what I had to spend on school supplies. And that does not include clothes and new backpacks. We're just talking the lists that get sent home at the end of the year. And I buy stuff on sale! It's insane! And just a note to Staples and Office Max? The reason you run out of red grading pencils every. Single. Year. two weeks before school starts is that you do not order enough! Bravo to Office Max for ordering some for me though. Enough for this year and next.
