Sassy Mama: Look to the Light...
There is a light at the end of my tunnel and the date is set for the end of this month-the day my older two children go back to school. How beautiful is that? Less than a month away and they have to take their child energy someplace else. I'm so excited.
We recently got a school newsletter in the mail and there was a sheet of school supplies that are needed for each grade. Holy crap! Since when do fourth graders need Post-it notes? And since when did schools become brand-conscious? At the top of the paper it said, "Please buy exact brand whenever indicated." So that totally ruled out my planned Dollar Tree excursion. Thank God Wal-Mart is cheap. But shopping at Wally World for school supplies is a little like jumping in a free-for-all stationary volcano. But hey, I've got the 5 cent folders and the reams of binder paper for 33 cents a piece as my badges of honor. Coool.
Phil is still milking this vasectomy thing and I'm supposed to be supportive of it all. No puns intended. Seriously.
I had the worst headache today....absolutely horrid. Phil in his martyr-saint-like status pitied me and sent me to bed. I slept WAAAAYYY too long (I view this as his fault...I'm asleep and don't know any better. He has a clock....wake me up!) and woke up at 8:30 p.m., just in time to watch Hogan Knows Best. Love that show. Anyway, my house is thrashed, the kids are hungry, laundry is still dirty and the table still needs to cleared....but hey, at least I'm rested. Ugh.

Viva la Power Nap!
The school's demanding brand names? Is the school sponsored by 3M?
What is it with men and being "sick"? I HAD FOOD POISONING while hubby was oot, but after having no sleep and feeling like CRAP, STILL had to carry on refereeing 2 toddlers without bodily harming them, trash day, baths, meals, etc. , but HE "feels a little queasy" and takes to the bed FOR THE WHOLE DAY yesterday! HUH!?!
