Money can't buy me love

Just did our back to school shopping for Clownfish. New sneakers & new shoes (on sale), two new pairs of uniform pants, other assorted uniform necessities, lunchbox, and assorted school supplies.  The benefit of the uniforms is that I don't have to get a whole wardrobe, etc., but they do charge an arm and a leg for a single pair of pants.  Oh, and I have to go get them shortened.   Grand total came in at around $225 (not including alterations... maybe Bullshark can do them?).  This is probably less than some families and more than others.  But dropping that much in the span of a few hours, plus $60 on gas for the car, just made me say ouch.

2 little fish:

  1. My mom always made me hem my own uniform skirts. I never really understood why at the time -- she always mumbled something about it being my problem if I thought the skirt was too long -- but I think in retrospect it was because she didn't want to do it herself.

    Skirts are different from pants, of course. I was in no danger of tripping from a too-long skirt, just of looking silly.

  2. On my things to do list posted last week, I can now cross out:

    Finally finish the bar application for State 2.
    &
    Back to school shopping.

    That's it.
