I remember going back to school shopping. It was fun to get new stuff but such a drag because that meant that school was thisclose to starting up again. Lame.
I wouldn’t know. We don’t have tax-free week(end) in IL like they do in other states. I think it has something to do with not being able to make the ‘protection money’ payment to the right ‘family’ members if we ever had a break on our tax burden.
In the Black Friday weekend picture, the couple on the right had a fight the night before and are not speaking to each other, whereas in the 2nd picture, the Tax-Free weekend, the couple on the right had mad passionate sex in celebration of their upcoming shopping trip the next day.
Doh! Janet said what I was thinking. Love that – where the Dad is dancing around tossing school stuff in the cart singing while the kids glare at him. hehehe

I can’t wait till you start selling a book of your drawings.
Then I can buy it full price at Target, Amazon, or wherever best sellers are sold.

So far no one has died at a Wal Mart during a tax free weekend.

Poor kids. You still look happy though.
My kids would be excited by that many pencils, though. They’re gullible like that. heh.

Soliloquy
Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will I venture out on either weekend.
The savings aren’t worth what it cost me in sanity.
