Why? Because aside the fact that it is too early (so I have been informed) to open a bottle of wine, I have to take the kids shopping for back-to-school stuff. Little One in particular is beside herself with the fact that this year she gets to have a locker and wants to decorate it.</p>
<p>Did you know you can buy wallpaper for your locker?? Neither did I.</p>

<p>Yes, my friends, you can actually purchase a <em>chandelier</em> for your locker. And carpeting!!! You know, when I went to school, our decorating was limited to school rules, as in, &#8220;NOTHING ALLOWED&#8221;. Sure, sometimes we skirted around that by using a few magnets to hold pictures or taping stuff we liked, but we had to operate on stealth mode, so it had to be small and very inconspicuous. I remember Mr. Profitt walking by one friend&#8217;s locker and bursting a blood vessel when he saw the wall-to-wall coverage of her love life. Good times, good times&#8230;</p>
<p>Anyway, the sooner I get this over with, the better off my eardrums will be, since I will no longer hear, &#8220;CAN WE GO SHOPPING FOR LOCKER STUFF, PLEASE, OH PLEASE, OH PLEASE!!!???&#8221;</p>
<p>Trust me, this will take a while. She&#8217;s not easy to please. I think she takes after my grandmother 😉</p>
