Just Talkin

So the beach was wonderful. So wonderful in fact that it broke our heart to come home. We had such a wonderful time with my family. We played and swam and laughed until sadly it was time to come home. I have never not been ready to come home, but this time I was so sad to come home! I have a bunch of pictures, will post them soon!

Not to much going on. We spent a small fortune today getting the kiddos ready for school. DQ got some new clothes that she is absolutely thrilled with. I actually like them too! You know it's a good day when your daughter, whom you couldn't be more different than, and you actually agree on something! Mark it down ladies and gentlemen, it's not likely to happen again anytime soon! BB did not find anything he liked other than a pair of shoes. We shall be shopping online for him.

On the way home from shopping, hubby and I were remembering the days when the school supply list consisted of a back pack and a box of crackers. Now the list is so long and ridiculously specific that it is an all day affair to get them! DQ had to have a YELLOW 3 subject notebook. She had to have a 2 INCH 3 ring binder. She had to have SHARPENED #2 pencils. Puuuuhlease! Why in the world does it HAVE to be yellow? I wonder if I got her a 1 and 1/2 inch binder what would happen? Oh and the pencils? Sorry, I am not paying an extra 75cents for the pencils to be sharpened! CRAZY! BB's middle school list was actually reasonable. However, do you know how difficult it can be to find erasable ink pens that we all know don't really erase? They don't make them much anymore for a reason..... hmmmmmm.......

Well, enough rambling. I was on last night and didn't sleep much today so off to bed I go! Good night all!
