More Shopping...

November 8th, 2011 at 01:13 am

...but I'm done now, at least for the kids. DD and I went over to Target after school today and we picked up 2 heavy, lined sweatshirts, 3 long-sleeved flannel or thermal shirts, and 1 similar lined sweatshirt for DS. This should get them through the cold season.

The problem for my daughter is that her high school does not have lockers. So if they wear the big bulky coats that are appropriate for the winter here, they have to lug them around all day long, which is hard to do when you have twenty pound backpacks full of school books because, again, you have no locker. Stupidest thing I ever heard of for a school to not put lockers in. They should at least have a coat and boot room.

Anyway, the heavy sweatshirts should get her through most of the non-snowy days anyway. She has a very compact umbrella for rain.

I'm going to the doctor tomorrow afternoon and having him wrap my knee. It's been buckling badly all weekend and I need the extra support. Today I was almost in tears the pain was so bad, but I had to drive so I couldn't take anything stronger than Ibuprofen and can't until after DS's tae kwon do class, so I have to stick it out a couple more hours.

    I'll have to tell my daughter not to complain about small lockers. I never even knew that there was such a thing as NO lockers! Frown

    I can't believe that the school expects the students to carry all of their books around with them! That is just crazy!

    Apparently they think it prevents kids from bringing drugs, alcohol and weapons to school. It does not. They have a 500 slot parking lot. Kids just keep stuff in their cars, where you can't do a locker search. Not having lockers is a big case of punishing everyone for a few bad apples. They do have them for the PE kids, but that is all.
