So today we will set out at dawn or 10:30 a.m.

Of course it would be helpful if someone would state from the beginning that they would like a Barbie backpack instead of saying that they want a Disney Princess backpack which causes you to take someone to the Disney Store where they do not, in fact, sell Barbie backpacks or any other Barbie merchandise because they do not want Barbie stealing any trampy thunder from the new vamped up version of Tinkerbell.Īlso, Pottery Barn Kids, who do you think you’re fooling with your $50.00 backpack? I hope it comes complete with a tutor. We shopped for backpacks yesterday but couldn’t find one that she loved and I feel it’s important for a girl to feel good about her school accessories. I could google it but, frankly, I’ve used up all my energy worried about our lack of a backpack. I’m not sure the sales tax is actually 8.25% but it looks right so I’m sticking with it. I’ll pay the 8.25% sales tax and keep my sanity for $100, Alex. This weekend is tax-free weekend in the state of Texas and there isn’t enough anti-anxiety medication available on the free market to make me venture into any type of store during that seventy-two hour time period.

Today is Wednesday and none of these things have actually happened, which kind of stresses me out because it all has to be done by Thursday.

Try to get Caroline in bed before 9:00 p.m. On Monday I wrote out a list of everything I needed to accomplish before school starts next week.
