Shopping

One long day. Took R to Target for school supplies and her backpack for the new year, and picked up basic stuff for J and S. I hate Middle School, and High School, you never know what the teachers will want for supplies and even though our school district doesn't require students to have their own supplies, I know that J and S will like to have their own things, and some teachers who want students to have certain things will give students bonuses for having various items. But the thing I hate is, parents don't have a clue what to buy, until after the student attends class on the first day of school. I want to shop now all at once and get everything they need now, and while the stores are having their back to school sales. After Target R and I went Famous Footwear. I had bought some shoes for me that someone recommended, only I couldn't stand them, but when I returned them I couldn't find the receipt, so I got a store credit. R found sneakers, and I picked out a pair for S because they were having a BOGO half off sale and I figured I could chance she might like them and I guessed at the right size. I picked up some socks for J too, only for sure I have to return those because he likes the over the ankle socks and I just got the footie ones. I'll wait until S tries on the shoes first before returning the socks. The R and I went to Rubios because I had a free meal and free taco coupon for joining their online site, the taco was free for joining and the meal for my birthday. We got it to go for dinner. Then we went to Cold Stone and I got my free birthday ice cream. It was so good. Coffee ice cream with caramel and pecans. R had this weird blue ice cream with gummy bears. We called that lunch. Came home and rested for an hour then off to Kohl's. J got some new Tees and I picked up a backpack for S, and J got one too. They are both Jansport for $30, which are guaranteed for life. I figured I could exchange that with S too if she hated it. But then I was thinking she should she happy that I was thinking of her and got it for her while she was hanging out with her aunt. After Kohl's J asked if we could go to Family Christian stores to look at other Tees. After really making sure he was going to wear Christian message Tees to school we headed there, and he got some other shirts. He should be set on shirts for school for the year. Then we went to Wing Stop and got free fries and 5 free wings, another web site offer thing. It just costs me $7.00 for 10 more wings. We came home and ate, the wings and the Rubios. Oh, my goodness is the grilled shrimp tacos yummy from Rubios. And the fries from Wing Stop amazing. Back to school shopping I hope is nearly done, hoping S like the shoes and backpack. The girls get a shopping trip to Justice to get a new outfit for the first day, hopefully I'll be motivated to take them next week. For such a little store it takes hours to get out of there.
