It is 45 degrees outside now, it seems colder because it is also cloudy and raining.

This weekend I am going to have to go shopping for long sleeve shirts for my son. I have been checking online BUT there is not a lot of long sleeve stuff, lots of short sleeve stuff and a lot of short sleeve sales BUT long sleeve is few and far between.

I just purchased my sons back to school clothes and already I am back to buying his winter/fall clothes. I was hoping to push it back a bit longer like in the end of October/early November but nope.

My son still can wear the same coat as last year and the same snow pants. We were also able to pick him up snow boots last year as part of Wal-Marts Black friday deals. He may well get through the school year without needing a bigger coat. I will need to buy the next size up this spring when they go on clearance for next year though.

Last spring there were not many long sleeve shirts on clearance and IF they were; they had skulls on them and I do not want my son wearing skulls. So this year all his long sleeve clothes are going to have to be purchased. I have checked online and there does not seem to be much. I think Ebayers are possibly thinking it is too soon for the buyers to be shopping (well were I live it is cold now).

I will check out Once upon a child and then check Wal-Mart, Kmart and Target. He will need about 10 shirts. During the winter I like him to wear long sleeves all the time and since I tend to do once a week laundry I need enough clothes so that if I dont wash laundry on Saturday because I have to work he has enough clothes to get him through until Monday when I get to it.

My son has a halloween costume from last year he can wear, but my X offered to buy him a costume since Halloween is my Xs favorite holiday. He told my son he would do it so it is not like it can be a surprized and if it happens great but if not then no hurt feelings. I wish my X would buy him some long sleeve shirts instead but whatever, besides my x is talking about how he is going to need to get a job because his finacial aid is partially messed up and he has not gotten it yet. So I am thinking my little boy will be wearing the same costume as last year since My x would have to buy it prior to the 15th of October if he is going to bring it with when he comes to town for visitation. I hope my son is not too sad when his dad fails to buy him a costume.
