Twere with a defeated joy

I survived a day of back to school shopping with all three of my kids today. Everybody got shoes, and the boys got most of their clothes. Of course Anna didn't find anything she liked. There is a trip to American Eagle in our future for her. Then we hit Staples for the school supplies, McDonalds for lunch and then we headed home. It pretty much wiped me out physically and financially. I just realized, however, that this may well be our last en masse back to school shopping trip. I'm not sure if I should celebrate or cry.

...."Twere with a defeated joy-
with an auspicious and one dropping eye...
In equal scale weighing delight and dole..."

Sorry, I can never resist a little Hamlet.
