Is it that time already?

Yes it is back to school time.

I love the line in "You've Got Mail" where Tom Hanks says to Meg Ryan, "If I knew your address I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils."

I love back to school shopping, although I thoroughly not ready for summer to be over.

Today B got his house assignment for his first year of middle school.  Yikes, I am definitely not ready for this.  In with his house assignment came the usual registration paperwork etc.  Then there was my favorite piece of information.

The Student Dress Could

• Pants should fit at the waistline so as not to reveal under garments
• Pant legs should not drag on the floor.
• tops should be long enough to easily cover the mid-riff.
• Spaghetti strap tops and many tank tops do not cover the chest and back adequately for school-wear.
• Bra straps should not be visible.
• Shorts and skirts should be long enough that when you drop your hands to the thigh, they should not touch skin.
• No hats, caps, or bandannas.

Can I get an AMEN and a HALLELUJAH.  Finally someone who speaks my language!!!

The did say at orientation they will call parents and make them come get the kids from school.

I love it.  I hate being a prude, but I do not want to see your cleavage.  

Great or just a little too weird.

Grandma and Grandpa took the kids camping from Thursday to today so EB and I went on an actual date.

We went to dinner and a movie.

We saw Inception. I haven't decided if I liked it or not.  It was entirely too violent for my taste, but if the violence is all in a dream is it really violence.  It required thinking and there was no way I could have gone to the bathroom in the middle of it even though I drank 3 glasses of water and 2 diet cokes at dinner and then had another diet coke at the movies and my eyes were yellow.  It wasn't my kind of movie, but there wasn't a single chick flick out there, so we went out on a limb.

As is always the case when the kids camp with Grandma and Grandpa there was a really bad storm that had the camper rockin, the awning ripped completely off and all the tenter soaked through to their underwear.

EB and I joined them on Saturday night.  We slept in a tent.  First time either of us had done that since high school.  The full size blow up mattress we slept on left a lot to be desired!
