School Supplies Nightmare

It's over!!!!!!!!!! You have no idea how excited I am to be done with school supply shopping. I love to shop, but this just about had me committed. First we purchased the basic items a few weeks ago, then once registered at the new middle school, she was given a list of items she needed. I could not believe what was on there. USB flash drive, calculator, and they had to be certain brands. We are well over $100 in just supplies, that doesn't even count the uniforms. Oh the uniforms, don't get me started. I take part of the blame, my gut told me to buy them months ago when I saw them, however we weren't sure what school she would be going to, so I didn't want to buy and return. Next time go with the gut!!! Would of saved me a lot of trouble. Instead Y and I were running around to every store looking for pants and shirts, which were picked over, and the size selection was horrible! On Sunday I found the last pair of pants, and shirts she needed. Lets just hope she doesn't grow this school year a lot, they might not fit by the end of the school year. :(
The sense of relief on Sunday was overwhelming, after running from office supply stores looking for a calculator and the last few items, when all was accomplished I just about cried! I knew I had been stressed, but didn't realize how much of it was on school supplies.
