Things on Tuesday

Totally Terrible Things on Tuesday:

• Jordan goes to pick up his Freshman schedule this afternoon.
• It is hotter this week than it was last week.  (Heat index this afternoon was 117.)
  
• Jordan officially starts high school next Tuesday.
• Shopping this coming weekend is going to be---well, not fun.
  

Totally Terrific Things on Tuesday:

• Uncle Sam came through and I am once again bringing money into the house via unemployment.
• Uncle Sam also paid the weeks I was without the unemployment.
• Since I managed to pay bills on just Chris's salary we once again have a little bit of 'back-up' money tucked away in case of emergencies.
• Jordan goes to pick up his Freshman schedule this afternoon.
• Jordan made it through band camp with heat index's in the triple digits.
• He did not sunburn and says he had a lot of fun learning and practicing.
• I have a job interview tomorrow at one of those payday advance loan places.
• Jordan officially starts high school next Tuesday.
• This coming weekend is 'tax-free' weekend.  The state and local governments agree to not charge sales tax on things that are deemed necessary for kids going back to school.  
• Tax-free weekend starts at 12:01am Friday morning.
• Jordan and I will be at Wal~Mart at about 11:00pm so we can pick out his school supplies and be ready to check out at 12:02 and thus beat most of the crowds.
• Have I ever told you that I am a 'planner'?  Well, I am.
• Have I ever told you that I am organized?  Well, if I did I was lying.  I find things best when the place is cluttered and unkempt looking.  If things are put away then I have trouble finding them.  I am currently looking for---well, dang, I forget.  LOL!!
• How's this for having more Terrific's than Terrible's?

Sounds like a great plan to have your school supplies picked out and be ready to pay right after midnight.  That thought never occurred to me!  

I have two girls going into high school who are very excited!  I am sure your son is as well.  Always great to get middle school over with.

Ouch to those temperatures!  We've just had a couple of the hottest months on record here in DC (after a winter of record snowfalls).  I don't know how people function when it is so hot.

I hope the Walmart shopping trip went well.
