Assistance Needed...


OK girls, I need your quarters...actually...I'll give you the quarters:) but Office Depot is having a special right now where you can get 20 folders WITH BRADS for a penny a piece!! Limit 20...I bought them out (and Bek did too this morning) at the one on 377 in Watauga but I plan to check out some more around town...anyway, I need the folders for my classroom. See, I have "theatre packets" I do for my 5th graders and that's what we work on for the 12 weeks they see me. However, in an effort to make my classroom a little greener, I'm going to create the packets, laminate the pages and put them in these folders and then let the kids use expo markers to write on the pages...at the end of the 12 weeks, I'll have them clean off their work and I can use them again! Anyway, if anyone has a spare quarter lying around that they'd like to help a sista out, that would rock!!! I'll pay you back of course...I'm paying Bek back with bows, clothes for M-Dawg and such so I'm happy to repay for other items as necessary!
Anyway, thanks for the help! GO GREEN!

When I was in the classroom, I was always really specific in my folder needs. Do you care about the color? With pockets or without? I'll hit my local store. Do you know when the sale ends?

I can go tomorrow to Home Depot. Like Jennifer said, any color???

If anyone is over by NE mall they had a bunch but I got my "quota." I got her assorted colors but she said she didn't care what they were. They had a few black which I thought about getting for the "alternative kids" but I didn't. Probably should have gotten some for the little weirdos...I mean precious pots. I know, just because I said that Landon will probably be alternative in 10 years. BUT I SWEAR, if he tries to wear black nailpolish or anything, it'll get ugly...

Can't comment now, guys...gotta help Jeremy remove his nipple rings before he meets Kim and she's all judgemental on him.

oh and pockets...brads and pockets...don't care about the color...black ones are fine, I AM the theatre teacher after all:) I'm painting my whole room black before school starts so they'll match perfectly:)

Well, I only saw one Office Depot during my vacation and it was in Monroe. Rob ran in to see if they had the folders while I changed what I thought was a dirty diaper on Tate. (Turns out, as we all know now, that Tate did not have a dirty diaper despite the odor I smelled in Monroe). Anyway, Rob couldn't find any folders with brads for 1 cent each. Sorry. I guess it's OK though because they would have probably smelled like Monroe, La.

I'll keep looking for some for ya, though!

WOW! Rob is my new BFF! And I'm using those exclamation points with the appropriate emphasis (see Rob's blog for that...I just added him on my "favorites" list).
