I don’t know what your experience is with this, but here was mine this year:

Ada had a massive fit (which for Ada looks like shutting down and no longer speaking except for the occasional “I DON’T LIKE SHARING!” at random times) because she learned all of her school supplies are shared whereas Grace and Eli’s are theirs, with their names on them.  This did not go over well and lasted all morning even though I told her we were done talking about it.

I took Grace and Eli shopping for new gym shoes, and realized that I really hate spending money on brand new shoes that I will never see them wear.  Last year Eli outgrew his halfway through the year and had to get a second pair, then at the end of the year he only could find ONE shoe to bring home.  Awesome.  If I’m lucky, these new shoes will still fit next June and will be their summer soccer shoes.  If I’m lucky.

So there you have it.  It’s a little random.  But I’m a mom and it’s August 12th, so I’ve got back-to-school on the brain.
