School shopping~

I know, I know. . . I've fallen behind again!!  Time just gets away from me.  Tomorrow is the first day of school for my girls and we have been busying ourselves with preparations.  Friday was our official school shopping day and we did well. . .a little too well!  Since Katie is a senior this year I agreed to spend the extra dough on some real Abercrombie and Fitch jeans. . .2 pairs!  At $80 a pop that was quite a sacrifice.  Also a few A&F tops to make my A&F total $287!!  That was just the first stop in the mall.  And only 1 top for Betsy in there. (she could care less about the jeans and Katie said she could borrow hers "anytime" {they will say anything to get what they want. . .just wait til Betsy wants to take her up on that!})  Then on to Charlotte Russe, Katie's favorite store. . .another $160, but they had a rack that was. . .no kidding. . .buy 1 get 2.    So we bought 1 pair of capri's and got 2 for free. Betsy even found a few things she liked! Then it was Betsy's turn to pick the store.  She likes PacSun and American Eagle outfitters. . .where we dumped another $200. . . and then off to Rack Room for new tennis shoes where we got a deal, buy 1 get 1 half off, so only $90 in there.  And then we finished up in Aeropostale where we went over the $1,000 mark.  Thank God I set aside money for this little spending spree!  Sure we got a lot, but geesh! 

Then Saturday they decided they needed some accessories!  Cute belts, panties, bras. . a purse or two!  I mean come on! So, we picked up some more loot, but we kept it under $100.    Monday was HAIR day. They each got their hair done complete with fresh highlights.  Yesterday was supply day. . .folders, pens, mechanical pencils, dividers, notebooks, lip gloss, color enhancing shampoos and conditioner (one set for blonde and one for brunette). . .I just fall for any thing. So, today we have to go back to Aeropostale to get the security tag taken off one item.  It never ends, but I had sooo much fun with my girls this week. 

A Wes update. . . .He is taking the job.  We are happy and I think he is too.  He doesn't say much about it.  He must be doing ok this week cause he hasn't called for money.  He is working a 2 week notice at his other job, but doesn't have an exact start date.  I think it's funny that he is working for the same company as Robert. . .and Robert is going to be farming on one of the farms down by Wes, so they will probably work together some. . .Wes is gonna love that!!  NOT!  He doesn't like working with his dad.  Robert is high strung and Wes is laid back.  Oil & Water.  Anyway, he will be set now as long as he doesn't screw it up.  Good money, benefits, company truck. . .alot for a 20 year old!  More than any of  his friends.  So, lets keep our fingers crossed and pray that he just does what he's supposed to do.

Well, I must wake the girls on their last morning of summer. . .which also means my last morning sleeping past 6:00 am  uuuuuugggg!
