Nice title eh?
Anyway, I have been up for a few hours, been busy dealing with several issues here on the home front.
Every thing is fine, just stuff needs to be dealt with today, getting it all situated.
I have 18 days till school starts, and I haven't started school shopping yet because the school, once again, has not sent out any information on any of the items they need.
I'll probably get handed a list on Sebastian's freshman orientation night, a mile long, full of supplies for the teachers again.
Sorry, no can do.
See, they make us pay $10 for a lock for a locker and $15 for consumables (?), which I am assuming is paper or something? I have no idea what consumables are, because lunch is an entirely different fee that we have to pay.
So, any one have a clue what consumables are?
I need to take them clothes shopping too. This should be fun.
Not.
Boys are just as bad as girls when it comes to clothes shopping.
It has to be a certain color, style, etc.
Mark isn't too bad to shop for, he likes khaki baggy shorts, with black t-shirts.
He likes to wear the same exact thing almost every day. He will occasionally mix it up by wearing a concert t-shirt of mine.
Sebastian prefers cammo shorts, or jean baggy shorts, and whatever t-shirt he can find. He's not super picky, but he likes shirts that say stuff on them.
I have to get them new sneakers too.
But hey, 18 days till school starts!
W00t! *laughs*
It's been a long hard, boring summer here.
It's been too hot to really go anywhere, and so we've all just hung out and played video games and watched a ton of movies all summer.
But anyway, it's time for lunch, and then back to work taking care of stuff.
Later days.

Yes, consumables would mean anything that gets used up, so that would include paper, pencils, printer ink,and such. Could even include soap and toilet paper for the school bathrooms, for all I know. It would be nice if they told you.
It pisses me off that we all have to pay taxes, and the government chooses to piss away most of that money on stupid shit, and there's not enough for schools. When I was in public high school back in the 70's, all my parents had to buy were school supplies that I would personally use...notebooks, pens, etc. Everything else was paid for with school tax money. We never had to pay for stuff for the teachers. And now, I hear that teachers, who are way underpaid as it is, are often being forced to use their own money to buy supplies. No wonder there is a teacher shortage, no one can afford to do it!.
It's a national disgrace. If our government doesn't think that education is important now, I weep for the future.
