OUT

August 28th, 2007

Target was out of school supplies.

Yes, I know.  I couldn’t believe it either, fucking outErika had warned me that this happened to her last year (I didn’t believe it would happen to me).  Not with my waxing poetic and lovely thoughts of the Trapper Keeper gone by.

Out of what you ask, let me check my list:  plastic folders with pockets in red and green, pink erasers, large Elmer’s glue sticks (10 thank you, what the hell are they gluing in 2nd grade anyway?), dry erase markers and pencil sharpeners.  Yup that about covers it.

Target can’t pay me enough to go back with three kids to try and find the remaining goods.

I wish I was walking in a snow covered forest alone, only hearing my feet crunch across the ground and taking deep breaths of fresh air.  Yeah, that’s where I could find some calm right now.

    Let me know where you find the remaining stuff. We were there yesterday and between the nonstop talking about all the other not-on-the-list school supplies Hank and Hope think they should have and the over-stimulation of all the crap for sale that wasn’t on our list and the other crabby parents with their carts blocking the aisles, I headed over to the Vodka Flasks for Exasperated Mothers Department. It was either that or stab a clerk in the thigh with one of my 20 #2 pencils.
