I swear, no more tri pics after this! LOL -Here's the link to the professional pictures from the race. If it doesn't work, you can search under our last name here at Lepow Photo.
No tax-free week for back-to-school shopping (or hurricane-supply shopping) this year in Florida.
If you border, or are traveling to Georgia or Alabama:
Georgia's Tax Free Week: July 31-Aug. 3, 2008
Alabama's Tax Free Weekend: Aug. 1-3, 2008
More state tax-free weeks here.
The savings doesn't amount to much, but every little bit helps, right?
Especially if you live in an area where you have to buy alot of back to school supplies. I know that it varies. Here, we have to buy what I consider a ridiculous amount of supplies.
When I lived in PA, the kids pretty much went to school with a pencil. Done.
Here is the list for ONE of my kids here (each school and each grade lists their individual needs):
Crayons- small
Red pen for checking papers
2boxes # 2pencils- NO MECHANICAL PENCILS
Glue
Scissors
2 pkgs.wide-ruled loose notebook paper
2 boxes of Kleenex- NOT individual packs
Zippered cloth/plastic pencilc ase- NO boxes
4two-pocked tuotang folders with middlebinder--
blue,green,red,orange- NOdesigns
1box Zip Loc bags- boys-gall/ognirls-quart
NO Trapper Keeper or other notebook
Rulers- standard/metr(i1c2inch)
Paperplates-girls
8oz.cups- boys
Yellow highlighter
Their school also voted in a dress code, so that means no more hand me downs from brother-to-brother this year. That will add.

We saw M. off to Dallas yesterday to visit with Grandma J (hi!).
We had a few false starts...
-First, he got up with an ear ache. Rush to MD's office, yep, ear infection (my children practically never get ear infections! I think we've had 2 EVER in 11 years between all three kids! Of all times, right?). Get abx script filled, listen to complaining about taking pills, explain hassles of liquid medicine and refrigeration issues on airplanes. Buy special ear plugs (Ear Planes). Decongestant, check. Food and water to go with meds, check. Ok, ready to go.
-Go by Outdoor World to look around, and to buy M. pants for trip. Turns out they have clothes for every person except 10-12 year olds. Ok, just go to airport.
-Get lost three times over and argue with spouse on way to airport.
-Laugh over how stupid we are acting over getting lost going to airport.
-Wait in the crazy long international line because of flying unaccompanied. Kids get bored after 30 seconds and jump around and act obnoxious but we don't care, it's our revenge for annoying international passengers on either side of us not respecting our 'American personal space bubble'.
-Get done there, turns out airline counter lady (who was less than stellar in general) only gave me a pass to go thru security. So T. and the other two said their goodbyes while M. and I went thru security. Ride monorail to the gates... where we realized he left his 'unaccompanied' necklace at security... monorail back to security... no one could find it... time's a wastin', so monorail back to gate again... lady goes to gather forms needed to re-do necklace... courrier appears with original necklace... finally all set.
-Crowded, settle on floor due to lack of seats. Sit around and profile plane passengers. No one too suspicious in my professional opinion. My child can go on this plane. Find cute guys to look at. Discover that M. left his DS charger at home. Spy person who may be real profiler, profiling passengers. Determine I am now suspect because I am scouting everyone.
-Ok, child on plane. Stand around until plane pushes back. Go meet rest of family unit back at Kennedy Space Center store (OMG, they make the workers wear fake spacesuits for their uniform! There is no way!).
Eat overpriced, mediocre meal in Orlando, our fault for going to tourist area.
Beg to stop at Target, but T. has hit his limit. Rescend Target request. Talk to grandma, M. made it ok. Drive straight home uneventfully.
Get two remaining children in bed.
Snuggle up and watch Kite Runner. Be thankful for crazy American day vs. Kite Runner life.

Triathlon!!! Warning: More bragging!
M. 1st place -11 year olds; 6th place overall 11-14 years.
He was 20 seconds off 5th place overall (they do trophies thru 5th); that's saying alot since he's 11.
W. 3rd place -9 year olds (1st & 2nd were fancy out-of-towners :); 4th place overall 6-10 yrs
J. 1st place -(shhh... he was the only 6 year old boy... but he did beat many of the older kids! He would have been 1st in 7 year olds also, and 2nd among the 8 year olds!!! Go J. Go!)
Their times were awesome (especially bike/run) & I'm so proud of them!
J. is supposed to be in one of the papers tomorrow because they are doing a story on the oldest and youngest participants, and they came to our house for that. They got pics of all three, but I'll have to see what they ended up using when the paper comes out tomorrow. I'm not sure if one or both papers got anything today at the race. I'll find out, bright and early at the hospital in the morning.
