School Supplies
Well, today is the first full day of school. It of course started like 90% of school mornings start: "Mom, I don't have any pants to wear." That of course is absurd, because each child started the year out (last Thursday) with three pair of pants and four shirts, and six each ofunderwear and socks! So having no pants just is not acceptable. The rule in our house is that I don't wash them if they're not in the laundry, and considering that there have only been two days of school, being out of three pair of pants just doesn't make any sense. They were eventually found, but not by me, because I refused to look. :)
