Back to School Shopping…Already?! Ack!

Yep, it is that time of year.  Again.  When the kidlets start getting all strung out from a full and tiring summer.  They’re ready to go back to school.  I am ready for them to go back to school.  And I know the darling hubby, who works evenings so got to “entertain” two elementary aged kidlets all summer long, is more than ready for them to go back to school.

What isn’t ready?  My poor wallet.  That’s what.

But school shopping waits on no one.  And darling daughter is more than ready to dip into it.  She was in Target earlier today and felt the need to text me a couple of pictures of school outfits she’d put together.

I have to say, I’m actually impressed with her sense of style.  I like the outfits she chose.  Go figure!  Now, just to make sure we get all the other things on their list.  WHY?!  I ask, do I need to provide tissues for the class?  I know my parents never had to worry about outfitting me with tissues or glue.  These were things that came out of tax monies.  Not anymore, it seems.

How about you?  If your kids are still in school, what are some of the things they’re having YOU provide?  And if your kids are out of school (LUCKY!) how different were the shopping lists from then to now?
