It's the most wonderful time of the year.

Back to school that is but not school shopping.
Holy crap that sucked.
$200 later and we have everything they needed except for the bazillion boxes of kleenex they wanted each student to bring in.
I just don't ever buy the kleenex.
Don't start on me either about germs etc cuz ya know I don't give a shit.
The way I see it, I already bought 2/20 pound reams of computer paper for the teachers use, red pens for the teachers use, dry erase markers for the teachers use, I am not buying them kleenex too.
They can just deal with the loss of it by crying into the inferior toilet paper that is in the bathrooms.
They have their shoes, clothes and trapper keepers.
They have their geometric compasses and scientific calculators and highlighters and markers and colored pencils and erasers and folders and dividers and everything else that was on that damn list.
All Marks stuff was a guesstimate and if the teachers decide 2 days before school starts to print out a supply list for Marks class and it differs from what I bought him, they can fucking go buy it themselves.
1 week until school starts and those teachers haven't even turned in a list to the office never-mind actually getting it to the parents who need it.
You watch, they'll hand it out on meet the teacher night this coming thursday, the 5th, and school starts on the 9th.
I am tired, hungry and came oh so close to hitting snotty teen girls with rubber rulers for constantly bumping into me with their carts as I was shopping because I was in the way of the ultra cute pink backpacks with fur trim.
I am ready to beat people with sticks.
Must finish cooking dinner now and then collapse in front of some mindless television.
Later days.
