Shopping and Getting "Lost"

I'm beat.

It's after four in the afternoon. It's hot. The younger two and I hauled ourselves over to Wal Mart, which is really close by . . . but not when you walk in the wrong direction (as I did) . . . to get school supplies. Not to mention: the bags were quite heavy to carry back, but just manageable. I treated them to a Starbucks frap each, because I had them all over the wrong direction and through the store, knowing they would help haul our stuff back. We had to stop so they could drink them and allow me time to guzzle a huge water I got.

We made it. The only supplies I haven't purchased yet are any not mentioned (you know they'll go to class the first day and I'll have to go buy more stuff) and some sillier stuff for my youngest son (two rolls of paper towels, one box of kleenex, a scrubber sponge, and a box of baby wipes - huh?). I can get that stuff cheaper at the commissary.

I'm making some progress on the cross-stitch for my pay it forward. I'm not sure which person will get it, but it won't be the only handmade thing going out with it. For something so small (stitching) it sure takes plenty of time. Phew.
