Yes, this coming Monday is already the first day of classes. This made me busy not because I still have students but my nephew and my nieces made me this. I accompanied them when buying their school supplies and school uniforms and all the things needed for their school, so I see to it that all their needs are available and we just finish buying them today. It's very stressful and tiring when accompanying them, asking the color, the brand and the sizes of the shoes, uniforms and even their school supplies. I see to it that the prescribed uniforms and shoes are the prescribe colors and style.Glad, we're done now. How's your students need, are you finish buying them? How do you find it?

Well, in the United States, school is just about over. But I remember the hassle when it comes to buying the clothes, the supplies, and making sure that you have all of the money for it. The prices seem to spike up as more and more people go shopping or the same things in this capitalistic society. I usually circulate the web to see who has the best prices before I actually make my journey out to explore. It saves a bit of time if I don't want to go to any of the small, local places.

If I only have time to do that, searching it in the net, it is very wise decision to do but their classes will start on Monday so I've no time to do it.

@MEAngle Yes, we have but the problem is, when classes is fast approaching, many customers are trying to buy at the eleventh hour and we are almost out of stocks, so we are going to many malls as we could.

When the wife of our adoptive sibling's stealing the money for the memorial plan of my parents, she's not coming home anymore, she stayed at her parents house and my Dad has no more trust to our adoptive sibling, so that's why I'm the one who accompanied them.
