Back to skeeewelllahahahaa!

Seems crazy that it's about that time when we have to start thinking of the kids going back to school. Well, I mean...I can't f--king wait to have my house back and the peace and quiet...oooooohhhh the peace, the no fighting...the watching a show that's not on nickelodeon...the 6 GLORIOUS hours without their jelly stained nose picking faces!!!! whew..I digress...Yes, it's that time to start checking our dreaded supply lists...making sure we have every tissue box, wipes package, 2 gallon ziplock (2 gallon cuz our last name starts with S), glue stick, post it, red-blue-green-yellow-purple pocket folders, 800 marble notebooks (that they'll only use 4 pages of), crayola fat markers, colored pencils, crayons (with all these art supplies you'd think I'd get some thing like a Picaso...but ummm ,no), Elmers glue SEVEN OUNCE -THANK YOU, highlighters, stupid f--king Fiskar scissors and my fave the Mutha F--cking FOUR boxes of Ticonderoga SHARPENED pencils at $4.99 a flippin box of 4.........and everything labeled with child's name that we are gonna disregard anyway when we throw the shit in a heap and pool it out to the class......does the brand name of the pencil really make THAT  much of a difference beside in sharpening,which I will concede to? AAAAHHHH!


 Yet again, I digress....while you are all out braving the masses...going to Staples swearing to avoid the craziness of the mall only to end up on line at Walmart anyway...won't you please consider picking up an extra couple of marble notebooks when you see them on sale for .39 cents...or a few extra glue sticks?? There's a terrific family here heading up a terrific foundation, The John Theissen Children's Foundation. Annually, they do a Back to School Drive and collect school supplies for underprivileged children right here on Long Island...which, in reality, is more families than you would think...some of them your neighbors. If you are able..this is the foundation to donate to...Thanks   =o)
