Sunday night at our dinner we got almost $400 for school supplies for the three of us. This is great, because Alex decided she wants all her notebooks and folders to have a camo theme, with each subject being a different color. She had to keep everything from last year that still is useable but she got purple, green, gray, orange and pink just in replacing some stuff that was too worn out to keep using.
Today was Danielle's first day of science school and she actually has more homework than I do. But, she is happy and does not have her Angry Glare on her face, so yay for homework I guess. She is trying to change one of her teachers because he has a thick accent and won't answer questions.
I had to work today after school so Alex took half the money we got and she and Danielle went school supply shopping for me. As long as I have good pens and highlighters it's all good. Idalis is back from her vacation and I double-checked that she's giving me her entire check from last week when she gets it and she promised. Her store has nicer people coming in, but my diner gives free food.
This Sarah Palin thing has got Aunt Elaine all riled up and any time we made noise doing our homework after dinner she'd yell at us that we'd better never come home pregnant. She stopped when Danielle told her, "Don't worry - we would never come to you with any problem."

A short but powerful response from Danielle. Glad you got funding for all the supplies, we just need to get you some funds for the J.Crew jeans now:)
Good luck with back to school and the management of life!
Hey Sam, I've been reading your posts. You are a super sister, let me tell you. And your Aunt...hmmmm...leave that one alone. I thought of you and your sisters yesterday when my boys (teenagers) went back to school. I'm glad to hear you were able to get some new school supplies. Danielle makes me smile with some of her retorts. I'm thinking this is your senior year of high school. Keep it up Sam...your story counts and you are doing the best you can!!
Go, Danielle!
Glad to hear you're able to get what you need. I like the camo color idea (it's the designer in me: organized but hip is always a winning combo)
