Can I just say, I am overly excited about Monday. Monday means my house will FINALLY be empty again. Its the first day of school!!! Today I will be heading out with all the kiddos to go get the last few things we need. I really wish Joe was home from work already so I could have some help but looks like I have to do this on my own.
The kids are growing up and I'm loving and hating it all at the same time. Kymberly is already begging for a cell phone because apparently all the kids her age already have one. Crazy huh? I mean she is about to turn 11 on Sept. 11th. How on earth does it make sense for an eleven year old to have a cell phone? Ya I had a pager when I was 15 but I had a job too and I paid for the damn thing.
I guess its a good thing that my choice of career will always be able to financial support my family but damn.....things are starting to get expensive! Thank heavens for thrift stores though. God I love them. Yea...they freak me out a little bit. The clothes are dirty and everyone that pretty much works there just got out of prison so its pretty intimidating. Plus I hate it that they staple the price tags on the clothes. So annoying to prep all the clothes I end up finding for the washer. But hey....I can pretty much get entire wardrobes for all five of my kids for under a 100 bucks when I go. Its all name brand too. Who cares if the shit is last season? If your wearing Abercrombie and Fitch then my daughter is happy. As am I! ;) I'm a brand whore...I will admit. I like nice things and it has to have a decent label. This word revolves around appearance and money so you gotta look good. That doesn't make exceptions for kids either.
So today like I said, we are off to do some shopping. I'm hoping that Target and Kohl's will help me complete everything I need to get done today with minimal complaining and tantrums from the kiddos.
I just can't wait for tonight to snuggle up with my husband. I hate that he's gone so much but hey....he's got an awesome job that pays beyond Excellent. Gotta be happy for that.
