TGIF

Morning ladies.  I am up earlier to give my poor exhausted husband some time to rest so I will take the girlies in today.  It is his day off so I am going to take some leave from work this a.m. and spend some alone time with him.  Yesterday went well.  I went and got my nails done, one of my best friends went with me, we had dinner then went to a jewelry party.  Some very nice adult me time.  Tonight I pick my mom up from the airport, she has been in the bahamas all week and for the weekend we have the first soccer tournament of the season.  Go Fury!!!  Hope you all have a wonderful and great weekend.

Morning!   Ohh  Court sounds like a nice evening you had.  We had a pretty good evening after a stress filled day.   We went to church...had dinner there....some music and a little bible study.  DH and I were the ones setting up and cleaning up after dinner.   We had a good night though.  We ran into a stumbling block with the house.  Of course it'll happen now with only a week to go.   The appraiser says there's lead paint on the exterior trim of the windows.   The seller says there's no way he tested even because all of the windows have been replaced in the last 10 yrs so there can be no lead paint.   The realtors were supposed to talk to the banker yesterday so we could figure out what will happen with all of that.   Ahhhhhhh like I needed more stress.   I am having problems with work as well....hopefully this is all God thinks I can handle at one time. 

I am very very glad it's Friday!  Woops forgot to turn the alarm on last night and woke up at 5:18 and have to start at 5:30.   It's a good thing I don't even have to get dressed LOL. 

Jamie...any more news on the eruptions?   How is it all going for you?

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

hey ladies, how excited are we for the weekend? saturday dh works to its mommy/jordan day. i was really excited to take him to the park but then of course it had to rain today so i know it will be muddy. lame! im kinda bummed out about that ive been waiting for the weather to warm up to take him to the park. oh well lets keep our fingers crossed for next saturday. we need to hit up the mall anyway, i am making dh a big birthday package (new clothes since he's been trying to drop a few pounds) and tickets to see the comedian lewis black on april 4th.
ok i have an OT question, i dont know if you ladies know anything about it, but i never finished my degree, i got one semester under my belt about 10 years ago and couldnt afford to go bac****pt saying i would and i never did. i am desperate to go back now, i have checked out local accelerated programs for adults and so on, maybe even online schooling but im so afraid that between surgery and me going back to school i will seriously miss out on time with jordan and i dont want him to resent me when i get older, but at the same time i hate living paycheck to paycheck and i know if i get a formal education it will help me get a better job, financial security, a nest egg, help me build up the measly $200 i have set aside for jordans education. do any of you have experience with this?
i really hope you are all having a good friday!!!

I would say go for it.  Quality of life is so important.  You are right an education will help you in so many areas that will make your's and Jordan's life so much better.  Being younger he probably won't even remember that many of the details of it.  Plan it out and do it little by little if you have too.

Court, hope you are having a relaxing one-on-one time with hubby this morning.

Michelle, I would get someone out to your new house & have a 2nd "opinion" on it.  (Just like a doctor.... 2nd opinions never hurt!!)
We are fine with all of volcano activity here.  Watching the news a little more, to see where the ash is predicted to fall, and what not.  Supposed to snow again, so the moisture will help all of the ash that is currently floating in the air, to come down...... until the next eruption, at least

We do not have a whole lot planned here for the weekend.
