Yeeeee-hah! (Sorry, dear daughter!)So we have a "no sales tax" weekend here in Texas. Meaning the stores will be crammed. But the stalwart among us shall field the crowds and buy the shoes and shirts and jeans and everything else our budding 13-year-old daughters think they need to start the new school year, and keep the 8.25% tax in the bank.
Poor dear, she is NOT ready. Summer isn't long enough ... for them. It's about long enough for Mom. Mom can finally have full access to the computer anytime of day starting August 25th!
For those of you who'd rather shop on-line, here's a couple of spots to visit for back-to-school wear (and help me pay for my darling daughter's shopping spree):
And for those with aspiring cheerleaders:
Whew! I think I'll head back over to Miss Catt's place for a cool one!

My 12 year old & I took advantage of the no tax weekend today by hitting the mall. It wasn't quite as crazy as I thought it would be and I was surprised that some of the kids favorite stores weren't even having sales, of ANY sort. It was a little disappointing. The few stores that also had sales going on or coupons, were quite a bit more crowded.
