August 22: BTS Shopping

Yes, we all know it's that time of year again! School is just weeks away from starting and today was our day to knock off the required supplies for the first day. This year marks the first time both kids had a specific list of school supplies; granted my son's list encompassed only a few items. So, we did Target, and went through the rigorous process of finding the notebooks, folders, #2 pencils and all of the other goodies. In the midst of all of this "excitement", the recollection of my own school supply excursions in year's past came rushing back to me in vivid color. I always liked the process of getting everything I needed for school a few weeks before it started. It's the rest of the whole school thing that I could never stand; you know, actually going. Unfortunately, neither of the kids share my sentiment about the school supplies component. Anyway, we were able to secure all required items and then some. It's going to be a good school year...I can feel it!
