School Time Again

Boy, the summer sure never seems to last long does it? With stores marketing season changes before they actually get here it seems like we are never in the right state of mind. I would say that it's already been almost a month of back to school advertisements. Like any of us really want to shop while away on vacation. LOL!

Although our economy has been in such a bad state, it has worked in the consumer's favor, if you actually have any money right now. It's hard for someone like me who loves a great bargain but can't even afford the bargains half the time. On an upside, DS REALLY is in need of new clothes and out of all of them, I'd say shoes are usually the most expensive thing because he's a men's size and we all know that cheap men's stuff is hard to find. He always is in need of running shoes for PE class because the goof ends up wearing them as regular shoes and totals them in no time. Ah, boys. LOL! We were able to get some Nike shoes really cheap this time and he absolutely loves them, so now all we need are at least two pairs of everyday shoes.

I know he can't wait to get back to see all his friends even though some have moved since he won't have to be home with his cranky sister all day. Hopefully things will quiet down in that area but for now we'll just enjoy the last couple weeks. ^-^
