Ah Yes, the wonderful time of year where the school and all the school activities have their hands out. Yes! Definitely my favorite time of year.Now don't get wrong I know the fees can be more. I have read different blogs stating what other parents are forking out. So I do feel lucky in that sense. But really school, it is 13 more days til the first bell and you are driving me crazy.
Volunteer here, sign-up here. $5 here, $35 there. It is an on going battle. Plus the backpacks, clothes, school supplies, you name it they have it. You don't think you need it, want it .. You do .. you really do. The school will tell you so, and don't you know if the school says it .. It's true. haha
It is just insane. I really thought I had prepared ahead this year. Slotting money away here and there. Yeah! Right! Haven't even reached first day yet and that is gone. But least I can plan some ahead for the upcoming first weeks.
Knowing that in the first couple weeks there will be more supplies, more "must have" request from teachers, and all the apparel for Cross Country. (Because don't you know you can not wear same hoodie & t-shirt from the year before. ) It just seems to not end.
But really I wouldn't change a thing. Soon enough there will be a U-Haul backed in the driveway to take him to where ever his heart desires. Until then .... where do I send the next check?
