Back To School

This is the video of my favorite Schoolhouse Rock animation (Verb! That's what happenin'). My second is the one about the bill, did I take you back? I like all of them to tell the truth though. There are so many good ones. My kids like the one about the pronouns. If you can remember, it's the one about the guy who has a friend named Rufus Xavier Sasparilla. If you got young kids, you need to put them up on Schoolhouse Rock. I passed the Preamble recital back in the day solely on my memory of the Schoolhouse Rock rendition of it.

Memphis City Schools begin registration for the '08-'09 school year next Tuesday and school starts the following Monday so I gotta make sure I don’t miss the opportunity to buy tax-free school supplies this year.

This weekend, parents can purchase certain items in Tennessee without paying state sales tax including school supplies, school uniforms, shoes, computers, and backpacks.

I don't know if I've said this before but my younger son plays football for John P. Freeman this year. He played basketball for them before and he's also in the band but it's his first year playing football. They've been practicing for the last couple of weeks and I can't wait to see him this weekend in the scrimmage game against Bellevue.

Two more scrimmages are scheduled before the season starts the 21st of August against Geeter @Whitehaven. Scrimmage @ AMWalker and another @ JPFreeman. The other team will be announced later. I gotta get the full schedule from my son. Don't plan on missing a game!

I know I've said that my older son attends Whitehaven and he's in the band but I've never mentioned my babies. They are twins and are in their last year in elementary school. I tried to get them in John P but they were full. I will try again next year but next time I will be sure to apply for their transfer earlier than I did this year.

I am pleased with the school they attend now but it would be much easier on me if I could get them and my son from the same school. As of right now, I have to fight traffic @ three different schools when I pick them up after school. Good for me, they're close to one another.

My older son turned 16 in May and he now has his driving permit. Soon he'll be getting his license but if he's anything like his daddy, I can wait for that day but that's a whole nother post.
