re: How Sad. Long.

She sounds like such an amazing little girl! You're very blessed to have her.

And side note, I've had like 10 people recently mention bargain shopping at Kohls! And I've never been one to shop there, and now I want to so bad  
I always thought they were expensive? Haha

Quoting JosieandtheherpescatsTMI:" You are a saint! I'm a teacher too ;) At the end of each term I would take all the un named lost property ... [snip!] ... was good, wash it and give it to my students in need. A parent once donated 10 pairs of brand new shoes randomly too. Bless x"

Oh wow, new shoes is awesome! Isn't teaching awesome!   I love it!

I'm glad this little girl stayed with her family, but it sucks she's had a rough life so far. There are times she gets sad and says "Im sad because I can't see my Mom." I've never seen much of her Mom around the school, anyways. Her Dad seems like a good guy, just doesn't have his head on straight. Like I said, it just raised my anxiety that he was drinking like that at his party. Having a beer is fine, but being drunk and spilling beer on your guests is not okay. He has a lot to learn and I hope he straightens up. My SO's ex lost custody of their son because of drugs... she lost custody of her other two kids because of drugs (not my SO's kids). I get that not everyone is ready to be a parent, but if you arent... let someone else parent then, don't put the kid through heartache. My ex was a bastard and wasn't ready but smurfed up and decided that after a year and yet wanted to keep partying, move away to Texas, not support his child, not help me out, call me a whore, do all sorts of smurfed up smurf to me, came and visited and tried to kidnap her... smurf that, I took her away from him. She hasn't seen him since and that's the best for her.

If you arent going to be a parent, then GO AWAY. That's the best. Dont be a halfass parent and make others parent for you. We LOVE helping other kids, but hearing this other girl sad because she cant see her Mom sucks, because its not her fault, its her moms fault, and her Mom should have made that choice long ago.

Oh well... at least we have a good summer planned with lots of fun days for the girls. At least they can have fun together and make some memories together!

No... the clearance section is AMAZING! They are ALWAYS having great sales, but the clearance section is AWESOME! I am a huge, huge lover of tank tops and I buy my tanks for like, 2.40 each? I bought a kickass pair of jeans that look awesome (except Im short as smurf so I have to roll the bottoms up, lol) for like 8 bucks. I can get cute dresses for Lily for 2-6 bucks. I am taking some pics of Lily tomorrow, Ill show you some outfits we get at Kohls tomorrow. They are ALWAYS putting stuff on sale there.

What we usually do is stock up at the end of season (even though they have sales during season), so at the end of Summer we buy dresses for next summer, and we can get dresses as cheap as a dollar. We bought a dress for Easter that was something someone bought online and returned, it was a 100 dress and we bought it for I think 8 bucks? It was a BEAUTIFUL dress. We have this other dressy red one that we got on clearance for like 6. I swear... stock up on clearance. We got all of her swimsuits last year for like 3 bucks each.

I freaking LOVE Kohls!

We don't use credit, but I LOVE it when they do their Kohls cash sales. Those are when we really buy a ton of stuff, lol. The normal prices are okay though, depending on what it is. We usually wait for sales though knowing that they can mark stuff down to like, 90%.

I mean seriously, we got a Keurig open box sale for something like, 30 bucks? Because it was an open box that someone opened and that was it. They marked it down and we got it ridiculously cheap.

I got a wickedly cute graduation dress for 12. My favorite down pillow was on one of their doorbuster sales for 10.

I love my Kohls! But we do see that it depends on the Kohls, some kohls have sales that are better than others or items better priced than others, so we drive around. But like I said, I LOVE tank tops and they always have those on sales and I stock up on those so I can wear them under hoodies and such during the winter. I especially love their tanks with the bra built in so I dont have to wear a bra and they always have those on sale!
