@@##! We just got the 2006 school supply lists this week and they're even longer because all kinds of cleaning and non-educational supplies have been added--baby wipes, Clorox desk wipes, hand sanitizer, giant Ziplocs, the list goes on. Plus each teacher wants multiples of those--no way. I am not sending 4 boxes of wipes just because 3 other kids might not bring any. We're both teachers and we're not stupid.
We have gotten some good buys this week, like notebook paper for 15 cents at Staples and Office Depot and folders for a penny somewhere. Now all I have to do is watch the backpacks like a hawk so our high school boys won't do something along the lines of last year--switching their 6-year-old brother's macho pencils for Disney Princess ones.
