Locker Practice & WHAT??

Logan had his Middle School Open House last night. He now will have a locker. And with that comes lots of practice opening it. Good thing dad was there to force me & Stephanie out of the way because we were just confusing the poor child. He opened it many times & already knows the combination by memory. If he can just remember to go to it & open it from time to time to get supplies out :)

Over the summer we happened by the school supply aisle in Wal-Mart. As I was scanning the shelves my eyes about popped out of my head when I noticed the price this folder had. I mean I realize it has 8 pockets & it's an organizer & all. But $66.60......SERIOUSLY! What's in those 8 pockets? And does the "organizer" organize everything in your life? If so maybe I should've bought a couple. One for backup in case the first one had a melt down trying to organize my stuff.

And then there's the 'ol trusty Zip Envelope for a small price of $60.00. Wow what a deal compared to the organizer above. You'd think this was just a local store mistake, but I saw these same products in another store with the same prices listed. And this post has just solved a problem everyone has that shops at Wal-Mart. It's how you can go in the store & come out w/ only a couple sacks & spend $100 or more.

First Day of School

First day of 5th grade for Logan.

First day of 9th grade & high school for Stephanie.

Logan had a good day he said.

Stephanie didn't get lost even once so she was happy. The pep rallies was very peppy. And apparently their lemonaide & I quote is the best ever.

My first day back to work with kids at school was today. We had a new lunch schedule & it was hetic. Normal deposits are about $100.00 & todays was just over $2900.00. Not to mention a new computer system that wasn't working right this morning. We all survived though :)

Back to the real world

Back to work & school. Actually I had a couple half days Monday & Tuesday. But I got to sleep in some even though I had work those days. Tonight it's back to setting the alarm to a time that it'll actually go off while I'm still sleeping. I can't say I'm looking forward to it either. The kids aren't either. Logan doesn't want to go back because he had a great summer. He's only told me this about 14 times in the last 2 hours before he went to bed. Stephanie is very nervous about getting lost & has studied her map of the school since she got it last Thursday evening. So she's also not looking forward to going back. She keeps telling everyone that if she's never seen again she'll be somewhere in RHS. LOL Logan's teacher this year was his teacher from 2nd grade & Stephanies in 4th so that puts Logan at ease since he already knows her. He was jumping up & down when I called to tell him this morning Steph told me.
