My happy moment of the week came this morning

[plain jane]

when my RR order arrived! :party:

They had a couple of items back-ordered so I had to wait 2 weeks since I placed the order. I can't believe how fast it got here, especially considering my last minute middle-of-summer order. :blush:

I totally splurged this year and ordered $800 worth of goodies!! (yes, yes, I know I only have one in school. yes, yes, I know it's only grade 2) But hey, it's been a rough week for me and now it's like Christmas around here- but better!! (till the c/c bill comes:glare:) J/K- it was all budgeted for, I swear.:D

And look!- It's almost time to crack open a Mike's!!

[Sharon H in IL]

Good for you, sistah! Enjoy. :001_smile:

[ticklbee]

WOW! $800 worth of goodies? Can I come over and play too?

[plain jane]

Good for you, sistah! Enjoy. :001_smile:

I will!! I am!! Woohooo!! I'm soooo excited.

Yes, simple minds, I know. :rolleyes:

[threetreasurs]

Yeah!:lurk5:

[Jenny in Atl]

I'm so glad you're having a good day. Enjoy your goodies!

[elegantlion]

Jane, how exciting!! It's enough to make a groovy lady dance, oh, you already have that. :D Have fun, tell us what you got, since we can't be at your door.

I am very excited! I budgeted for MONTHS to do this and planned my order a billion times before hitting the submit button. Here's a bit of what I got:

StartWrite
IEW
TtC
Exploring Creation w/Astronomy + CD ROMS for lapbooks
Exploring Creation w/Zoology I + CD ROMS for lapbooks
All my Singapore Math goodies
SOTW + AG
Math balance scale & other fun manipulatives
Pathway Readers (most of the set)
Geography Songs
a whole stinkin' bunch of Dover coloring books
A few reference books for myself like: Teaching the Wholehearted Child

Ohh... the list goes on. There's just SO MUCH STUFF in this BIG box!

[Mom to Aly]

Hey, nothing wrong with that! I'm sure you can use them again, and again... and again! LOL And they will each enjoy each thing!

Congrats on your purchases--and on finding something to feel better about--nothing wrong with some retail therapy, when you can get it!

I do faux retail therapy sometimes--walk around and pretend to buy, in my mind--or go online and fill a cart, then close my window--even that helps!!! And I don't have to run out of the store feeling guilty that I left a full cart, like when we were kids (did anyone else ever do that?)! ;)

[Lolly]

Sounds like a blast! Getting new school stuff is so fun!

[Doran]

What a blast to open and sort through such bounty!! That must have been fun. I'm glad for you that you found a bright spot to light up your day. Those little joys really can help carry us along when times are tough (hence my "It Lives" post last night. I just needed to create some humor, you know? :001_smile:)

Hugs,
