Is it really only 6:30???

I am exhausted. I am surely more exhausted than anyone else has ever been...you only think you have been exhausted...you wouldn't want to be me right now...

Enough melodrama for you?? :)

No, seriously, I am tired. It should definitely by at least 10pm, but it isn't, and thank goodness. I have more work to do before the day is over, and a long week ahead. Is it just me, or is the month of November just CRAZY?? Between work, school things with the boys, Thanksgiving and Christmas looming over me (now, that sounds bad...I love Christmas), the month is just a whirlwind.

There is good news, though, and a light at the end of the tunnel. Even the late, late shows (we had shows through mid-September) should be shipped out this week, with the exception of a few pieces (do not do not do not do not get me started on my tshirt supplier) that will ship next week. Otherwise, that's it...bye Fall/Winter, so long corduroy, nice talking to you turtlenecks...see ya next season, and thank goodness for that!

And now...on to Spring/Summer! We have been busy putting new styles/designs together that you are just going to LOVE (trust me on this...yes, we are doing the smocked suits again...yes, there will be some new things for boys...no, we are not re-using lots of smocking designs...yes, we will have lots more appliques...and no, you CANNOT see pictures yet!! Be patient!).

But first, the Warehouse Sale this weekend. Check out a few pictures we took while getting ready today. They aren't great, but you can get the idea:

Lots of great stuff, and the prices are great...

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells...

I simply cannot believe that it is early November. More amazing is the fact that I am starting to see Christmas displays in windows, in department stores and even when I am grocery shopping. It seems to come earlier each year, and as much as I love the holidays, it makes me anxious to think that Christmas will be here in less than 2 months.

And now, just to add to the anxiety, we are adding a few holiday items to threemommas.com! These are just a few of the items that will be added over the next several days...more to come!

I am sorry for being MIA...

Just a quick post to apologize for the lack of posts! We have been busy, busy, busy getting Fall/Winter wrapped up and out the door and the Spring/Summer season underway.

As a thank you for your patience, I am offering our blog readers a coupon code for the Web site. We currently have Fall/Winter samples and some clearance items available at www.threemommas.com. Use code "BLOG1027" and receive 25% off of your order through October 30! With all items already 30-80% off, this is a great coupon. Don't forget that you also get FREE SHIPPING on orders over $150!

We are also having a warehouse sale on November 21. This will be a great event, with tons of items from past seasons, as well as some gorgeous pieces for the holidays. If you love classic children's clothing at a great price, this is not to be missed!

Off to work...hope everyone is having a WONDERFUL week!

My baby is in K-5....

When did this happen? Some days it hits me as strange that I am a mother - much less the mother of a kindergartener!

How? When? I just got out of college! I am only 23, right?

Right? I mean...well...

Uh, um...no. Guess not.

That would have been...oh, let's see...about TEN YEARS AGO?????!!

I look at this little guy - or not-so-little-guy - just as excited as he can be, in his uniform, complete with belt (his favorite grown-up part) and backpack, and just cannot believe how quickly time passes. It really does seem like just a few years ago my biggest concern was what to wear to the Chi-O date function and if I could pull an all-nighter in preparation for exams. I remember the day he was born and it feels as though it was only a year or two ago, yet there he goes, getting on the school bus, heading to the same campus at which I spent my K-5 year.

Enough sentimentality from me. I know you are all going through it about now, whether yours are starting K, preschool, high school or college. But I have to say, starting school has made me realize that being a mother has truly been the most wonderful, painful, enlightening, comedic, thrilling, adventurous, anxious, nerve-wracking, spontaneous, emotional and happiest experience of my life thus far, and I wake up every day looking forward to (and worrying about) what it will bring next!

Goodnight, my mommy-friends! You are all fantabulous mommas, and I wish you a wonderful week!

Back to School, Back to School...to Prove to Dad...

Did anyone else love Billy Madison?

It is almost time for school to start here in the world of Three Mommas. Our children begin school next week, and I CANNOT believe it. My oldest will be in K-5, and my youngest will be starting his 2-year-old class at his preschool.

When I was growing up, this time of year was, next to Christmas, my very favorite time. All of the excitement and anticipation of the first day of school - who would come back to my class, what the new students would be like, how I would like my teacher. My mother always took us shopping for our back-to-school clothes, supplies, backpacks, etc. We would spend hours at the mall (about an hour away from our house), cramming into dressing room after dressing room after dressing room, trying on jeans, sweaters, cute tops, and everything else.

This was one of the things I was truly looking forward to when my son started K-4 last year. Of course, the school he attends (which happens to be my alma mater) allows only uniforms to be worn, so most of the clothes shopping was strictly online. We did go purchase a few supplies and some new shoes and it was fun. However, I recently found out that this year, we will just be purchasing supplies directly from the school, and they will be placed in his desk on the first day.

I am so bummed!

I feel like the back-to-school shopping was such a rite of passage for me, and now I am missing out on doing this with my son. We did go pick out a new lunchbox (he has one that looks brand new, but I wanted to go purchase SOMETHING to celebrate his new school year). I know that he is thrilled about school and has no idea that this isn't the way back-to-school is for everyone, but I am a little disappointed. Oh well - Mom will have to get over it, huh?

Any ideas for a "tradition" to replace conventional back-to-school shopping? Do any of you run into the same problems? I am kind of struggling with this, and will take all of the advice I can get!
