School starts in like a month. Danielle found her special calculator for sale on CL so she got it for less than 50% of the cost in a store. That saves us like $100 right there.
Today I went through all our old spiral notebooks from last year to see what we can still use. Two. That's all that's left. And our looseleafs? Nothing. Danielle's didn't even last through May. Alex cried at not getting a new one so I gave her mine, even though the front is kind of torn. She is not pleased but hers is in worse shape than mine so it's better than keeping her old one. I can duct tape the part that's ripped off and am going to try to find out if you can spraypaint duct tape. Because that will look kind of cool.
One of the guys Topher used to work with asked if he can give us his old school supplies - he went back to school for physician's assistant or something. We go pick that stuff up tomorrow. My fingers are crossed that he has a lot. Alex is torn between wanting Lisa Frank stuff and wanting to be mature and get more grownup notebooks.
I just want one of those messenger bags that closes with a seatbelt buckle.

Had to comment on this one - 3 years later! Found your blog today on Blogher and we are at Aug 2008.
I admire your courage and strength. I lost my mom last year but am almost 40 - still hurts but I can't even imagine what you've gone through.
God bless,
Lisa Frank
(but not THAT Lisa Frank)
