Almost over...

2 wks left. God it seems the summer zoomed by. I have no idea where it went and what we did.

Sleep...I did a lot of sleeping! I would say I'm all caught up on my sleep and hopefully won't suffer any sleep depravation this coming semester, but I know that will NEVER be the case. I can't seem to sleep enough.

I have most of the kids school supplies. I need the stuff like the Kleenex and paper towels, zip lock bags, you know all the "extra" stuff teachers ask for. And a backpack for Ms Jasmyne. I swear, this child is in some kind of contest to see who can go through the most backpacks during her school years. Avery used the same one for about 3 years, finally this year he decided he wanted a new one.

Jasmyne...oh my God, Jasmyne is always a different story. Jasmyne will go through about 3 or 4 backpacks in ONE school year. I can't explain it, I don't know why but that is Jasmyne. So she told me she wanted a pink backpack. I had just bought one for Avery at Sam's and it looks pretty heavy duty and like it'll last. I decide to buy one like that one for Jasmyne.

I just bought that one for Avery earlier in the week, I go back today and there are NONE, It's amazing how fast the stuff at the local Sam's here disappear! We have about 3 in the city. No, that is not a lot, specially for a growing city, but damn!!
I hope they do get more in soon. They were extremely cheap AND very well made. Avery got a black one, I was hoping to snatch a pink one for Jasmyne.

I bought me a Swiss Army one last year and this is the 2nd time I can honestly say a backpack was worth it. The first one I bought at school when I started here at EPCC (El Paso Community College). I would still be using it, if a stupid dog hadn't torn it (nope, not one of mine!!).

So the kids got new shoes, 3 khaki pants and shirts for Avery and skorts for Jasmyne. I need to see if Jasmyne still has some uniform shirts and find 3 more pairs of navy blue pants for Avery. His uniform changes this year since he's going into Middle School.

Of course, I still need a couple of books for my classes. I wish the instructors would email us the list of books so that we can look for them. I'm glad we will be using the same calculus book for awhile, specially since it was about $150!!
