school backpacks for kids wholesale image

Answer
I was a SAHM for a number of years, including when my sons were in school. My schedule changed, of course, with my sons' growing needs... Usually when people are curious about "what we do" during the day, it's usually SAHMs who have kids in school, so I'll answer about that period of time for me.
Before getting the kids up for school, I was up. (DH would leave at 6:am, and that's about when I'd be up and starting my day.) I woud usually run a load of laundryand clean up anything left over in the kitchen, before running through backpacks one last time to make sure all permission slips were there, homework was in the right folder, etc. Then I'd wake the boys and get them fed and off to school.
When they were at school I cleaned the house, which of course included laundry, straightening, and sorting through whatever needed it. (Mail, Christmas cards, bills, receipts...) About once a week I would pull out the checkbook, balance the account and see what bills were coming up so if something needed to be done (like adding to lunch accounts or buying clothes) I'd know if we could do that or not. I planned out dinners for the whole week, and since I'm a pretty good cook, took a lot of pleasure in finding the right items, so it wasn't unusual that I would get groceries about three times a week if I needed to, including a trip to a wholesale club. I also volunteered at the kids' school district and school activities, so sometimes I'd go up to have lunch with them, on my way to pick up patches for the Webelo den. Speaking of the den, I'd plan the weekly activity and buy the materials, print out whatever needed to be done, etc.
I volunteered at cub scouts and the Special Education Parent Advisory Committee, so there were often committee meetings and things I needed to do with regard to those responsibilities. That role SEPAC also meant I was a liasion for parents, so I would field phone calls about the special education process for parents. I also fielded calls for non-competitive soccer, as well as recruited the coaches and helped at the coach clinics and division meetings. (Suring the season I would coach, but that was an after school and weekend thing.) For cub scouts I also wrote the newsletter for the pack, so I would work on that during the day, and get it copied and ready to go out each month. During the day I also scheduled appointments, followed up on insurance information, returned movies and library books, organized cabinets, and did research on autism. Of course, when the kids had events, I went to those, and I often helped with things like the school carnival, etc. I didn't like to mow, but I did like to clip the hedges!
The kids would get home from school at about 4:pm, so when they got home I would help them with homework as I did things in the kitchen, like clean out the fridge, take inventory in the pantry, or read up on new recipes. At about 5:pm, I would start dinner, and I usually worked on that until about 6:30 or so. If DH was home, everyone would eat, and I would usually leave the dishes in the sink. (Sorry, but it's the truth. I was TIRED by then! Lol!) After dinner I usually folded laundry while DH got the boys in the shower, and then they'd go to bed, and then we would, maybe after watching a little TV. If I had free time during the day, I liked to read or do some writing... Although I usually read when I was waiting for things. I spent most of my leisure time, when I had it, writing or working on the computer.
While the kids were at school, I almost never hung out with girlfriends, I don't think I ever went to the movies, only a couple times did I ever go to pampered chef parties, and that was as a favor for a friend... I was always busy always going, and didn't have time for things like watching a lot of TV and scrapbooking. Some women do, but I had other "hobbies" that took my time, and that was kid-stuff.
Doesn't it sound like fun?!! Lol! It was very hard work, and very rewarding.

I like this new guy and there is a situation. HELP!!!?
Country Gi
We always used to fight and lately we have been getting along really well. He will still kid with me. Like, he will knock me pencil out of my hand when I'm writing. I will just smile and her will pick it up and hand it to me. I'm afraid that if I ask him out, we will go back to fighting if he says no or breaks up with me. Should I risk it or just stay happy???

Beauty Tips for Girls
Clothing and Makeup is an issue for many girls. If you are stressing about what you should look like as a new comer in middle school, or a fresh in high school, these help your fashion mature with you throughout middle and high school.
In Sixth grade, wear lip gloss, some mascara, and maybe a little bit of pale eyeshadow; don't go too heavy or it may look bad. If you want to try out more types of makeup, keep that for home experiments.
As for clothes, keep it in your comfort level. Bear this in mind: if you are wearing a bra or undershirt, don't let the straps hang out. It doesn't look cool; it just looks sloppy. If you are wearing a short shirt, check in the mirror to see if your stomach hangs out of the bottom. Otherwise, wear something a little bit longer. Also, if your pants are likely to slip, wear a belt. Belts are totally hip now!
* The main point is to keep the makeup light, and the clothes clean cut.
In Seventh grade you are beginning to care a little more what you look like; you might want to try curling your hair a few days a week, and using different hairstyles besides your typical ponytail.
If you are acne prone, try foundation. Remember that even oily skin can get flaky and that looks horrible with foundation. So try it on weekends first and ask your mother (or someone that uses foundation well) if it looks okay.
In Seventh grade you might want to try eyeliner. But not too much because you don't want to look like a racoon!
Start trying to tie outfits together with accessories. It's good to try new things with your makeup and clothes. But when you try the new things, make sure it looks good on you, not just in the picture or at the store. Check out different stores, and find out if there is a style that suits you.
In eighth grade you are probably getting good at makeup and you know what you like. Try establishing your own hairstyle without looking like everyone else. For example, if everyone has long, layered hair with no bangs, try light wispy bangs and a shorter, layered look.
You might be wearing tighter jeans now and probably starting to get concerned with impressing the guys, so it's safe to try out more mature styles such as a sleek leather blazer, or lower cut necklines. If you are happy with your sports bra, that is totally OK. But it's safe now to check out the actual bra department and wear something that makes you feel pr
