I don’t care if you’re tired and hungry and you have to pee, mommy will drag you all over Nashville to shop for every school supply mentioned on your kindergarten list and YOU WILL LOVE IT.
Nothing will stop MOMMY ON BACK TO SCHOOL OVERDRIVE, fueled by two large Cokes over an awesome lunch of black bean quesadillas (yes we took our kid to a roadhouse for lunch and she loved the music, which included Ozzy and Janis Joplin, and more importantly the chicken tenders and fries.)

p.s. Most Tennessee parents probably know this, but this weekend is the sales tax free weekend for school supplies and clothing and other items, so go forth and shop! You know you need a new Trapper Keeper.

I shopped today (tax free for us here too) and it was HELL. I’m still not sure if it was worth it to save the 8 bucks that I saved.

We went Friday morning and it actually was not bad at all. I knew if we didn’t get out Friday that Saturday would be hellish!
I also noticed that neither WalMart or Target had any of the school uniform things on sale. So the savings there was probably minimal.
