The 80's Are Back!

Well there is officially only four more days until school starts. The shopping is mostly done and what the kids don't have now they will have to wait until after the first day.Has anyone else noticed that the cost of back to school clothes has increased every year. Maybe it is not so much that I noticed before but now that I have a Middle School-er in my house now it seems that the cost of everything has gone up. It could be that the cheap Walmart items that were good before are no longer acceptable. Now he wants the name brand of everything. We have had to make compromises. No skulls on t-shirts. He will not be looking like a hoodlum.
I don't quite remember this happening to me when I was in school. Maybe it was because I lived in a very small town and you had to drive 1.5 hours away just to get to a mall. The closest store there was was Walmart.

I do remember having to have a pair of Jordache pants with the bow and zipper on the back of the leg. Do you remember those? Well ladies and gents.They are making a come back! As a matter of fact I found Andrea a pair. They are so cute!As soon as she wears them I will make sure that I post a picture of them.
I so remember those jeans not to mention the peg fold,stirrup pants,slouch socks,and my favorite leg warmers.
What are some of the favorite styles that are coming back in style are you going to dig in your closet to find?

Back and Reconnected

Well after being disconnected from all of the technology I have to say that being away really sucks. I could live without cable and maybe even the telephone. But, take away the computer and internet I have gone completely crazy! This is my lifeline. IT is the way that I stay connected with my friends and family.
I am so happy that we have our service back. Some great things did get accomplished.

1. All of the laundry was done.
2. The house was cleaned and de-cluttered.
3. I lost 6 pounds because my behind wasn't planted in one spot.
4. The kids and I had some great fun at the pool. ( Which we are going to continue to do)
5. We visited the library checked out movies and books for free. I think I read 2 books the other day.
6. Lastly, Bill is much happier because I have been doing all of the chores he hasn't had to do as many. ( I still refuse to take out the trash!)

All in all it hasn't been all that terrible. Except for the times when the kids go to bed and the house is completley quiet. That is the time when I don't quite know what to do with myself. I am so glad to be back!
