School starts in exactly 11 days and I have been running around school clothes and school supply shopping and I am pretty freakin' exhausted. In addition to school clothes shopping, Panda decided to have a major growth spurt and outgrew every stitch of clothing she owned.
Sigh.
Soooo, I have been uniform shopping and in search of shorts for non-school days. I had the hardest time finding anything decent in the stores until I hit JC Penney's. At that store, I totally kicked some sale booty and found Panda 6 pairs of embroidered jean shorts, and 2 pairs of denim, "fancy" Capri's. Oh and just so you know, shopping with my daughter is exhausting and sometimes requires an after shopping drink to relax once we get home.
All this clothes shopping also spurred on a major cleanup and discard project that has been a serious time stealer. I have been going through every item the kids own and discarding the broken and missing pieces toys. I also created an EBay pile and made the kids try on every piece of clothing they own, plus the ones in storage. Yeppers, very efficient I am.
Actually, I am tired of the clutter and dumping everything. Today, I finished the playroom and that is major. It looks like a whole new room and....there are no toys left in it. Now, it only has the video games, my desk and my scrapbooking stuff. Hence, it is now MY cave.
And I am so excited to have my own space. Well, mostly mine.
So for those of you wondering where I had drifted off to, I have been shopping and cleaning. Extremely unexciting, stressful and much needed. Hopefully, I will be finished by the end of next week, so I too can get back to my normal routine and posting schedule.
Thanks for your patience-it is much appreciated!

I can totally relate! I say whatever is left, set it curbside and let the next big hurricane dispose of it for you!
Congrats!
