How to Spend $100 Without Blinking

We met the teachers at middle school and elementary school today. Everything went very well. We are blessed to be at nice, well-run schools that are staffed with very professional people. Darby was quite relieved to actually be in her school, walk around, get the lay of the land. There is even a slight feeling of excitement in this girl. Roxy, my more outgoing daughter, is positively vibrating with excitement. She has a new class where the teacher decorates with frogs. Roxy thinks this is so great. She is sitting by her friend from first grade, which is so awesome. And she is right across the hall from her first grade teacher, whom she loves. Roxy's world is very rosy today.

I spent $100 without actually getting anything, hardly. I got a t-shirt for Roxy. Between joining all the PTA groups, buying meal plans, school folders, etc., I am out $100. And that does not include all the back to school shoes, clothes, supplies, etc. Momma feels broke.

With a huge sigh of relief, we are ready for the whole school thing. Let's hope it's a good year.
