That's definitely job security!

And here in Orlando, nurses are always in demand.
I'm thinking of moving once I graduate and FL is a top contender. I don't know how I'll survive the heat down there though.
Mom and I are going to DW in December
I have always wanted to see the Christmas decor and she wants to do the candlelight processional. Throw in a little
MVMCP and I think we are going to have a great weekend

Awesome!
I'm going through that this year. Evan just turned 5, but I still think of him as a little 3 year old.

That sounds ideal, Lori! Evan and I went through some MAJOR seperation issues. He's much better now, but he still has a hard time leaving me for extended periods of time.
I talked with the director and she said Fall wasn't too full so he most likely will be in. I noticed today while I was out there that I can take him out of class and have lunch with him there in the commons if I wanted to. I have been a SAHM with him his entire life so while he's OK with me being gone for a few hours, the whole 7:30-4:30 thing is not working for him. I hope he gets over this come next year for all day Kindy and when I start work.

Can I just say "GO FOR IT!" Everyone I know who's an RN has done all the steps... MA, LPN/LVN and finally RN or PA. Here the pay bracket is so worth it and a HUGE jump. Def. something to look into.
Thanks T.

The pay is kind of what is making me want to do it especially since I really can't count on the ex for child support.

Day 2 of construction. Today the electrician is going to re-wire the whole kitchen, the frame work is being done on the rotted wood around the old sink, and they're putting in my water line to the ice maker.
I've got to head to the mall for some back to school shopping. Evan's pretty much set, only needs a few collared shirts and a pair of black Van's. Mads is the one who needs a bunch more stuff. I have a stack of J bucks, so we'll hit Justice and then it's the dreaded SHOE shopping. Bleh! She's so picky about shoes I almost always flip out on her.
Happy Hump Day!
Yay for the ice maker. Love ours! I saw your pics on FB of Day 1 demo and I so want a fridge like yours. LOL
Good Luck shoe shopping, I'm dreading it when it's our turn.
Well school shoe shopping is half done, we managed to get Jess a pair but not Ells, they both got new knickers though
Great parenting, that... Sigh.
Thanks CE. See vent below...

Then, my neighbor and I went to drop off his car, but when I got there and said, "oh, thanks for doing this before we leave" they said they didn't WANT to do it if we weren't going to be driving the car - something about dye and checking for leaks, and nothing moving through. That's all fine, but I feel bad that I dragged my neighbor over only to drive back home. D will have to deal when he flies back.
And, really, that's about it. I need to hit up Target later for the hair dye and other stuff, and then tomorrow I'll need a snack food run - possibly I'll just stop at Trader Joe's on the way out of town (it's on the way.)
Sorry about the car and doing all of that for nothing. Glad you were able to get a lot done today.
Next door was a
Walmart, and since it's not the 1st or the 15th, we decided to check it out.
I forgot to say I texted Janet and she's been in bed sick for 2 days. Send good thoughts her way.
Oh no! Poor Janet.
I skimmed but I'm very lazy today. I worked 9-2 and then came home and slept. I could still sleep. But I'm hoping i'll still get good sleep tonight. a 10-3 tomorrow and then Friday my friend and her hubby are here from California and we are spending the day in the city. Then a stinky weekend of work both days.
Hope you can get some sleep and have a good day at work tomorrow. Have fun on Friday!
As to the trivia...I know the Imaginatin Movers one is Nina. I was going to guess Demi Levoto (I think that's her name) for the ablbum one but your probably right with the Mitchell Musso one. And I want to say that the island in The Incredibales is Syndrome Island. Not 100% sure though.
I just wanted to stop by and say that we are leaving at 6am tomorrow for the beach. Have a great week and I'll be back Sunday.

Have a great time!

UGH! My ex husband is a moron! I was about to get the kids into the tub when Lindsey told me she wanted to talk with ther dad. OK..so I call him and I get some kind of message that I dialed the wrong code. So, I try again and it happens again. I try a third time and it's the exact same thing. I'm pi$$ed by now.
I get the kids in the tub and decide to call his grandmother's house to see if I could get him on the phone that way. His mother (the Wicked Witch of the West) ex-MIL answers the phone. CRAP!!! I asked if D was there and nope he wasn't there. OK fine...just have him call the kids when he gets in. She then asks when was the last time he had called...last week sometime. Oh well, we haven't heard from him for a week either and called the phone company and they said he is either out of range or that his phone has been shut off. Lovely...that doesn't leave the excuse of him not e-mailing me back.
Anyways, she goes on to tell me that he had to take a truck back to his brother's house in MN and then is working some type of job in Chicago. When I asked what type of job and a few other questions regarding this she couldn't give me a straight answer and the story just didn't add up at all.
I was then on the phone with her for 2 hours going on and on about this, that and the kitchen sink. I don't care how her other son's are doing, and their wives (or ex-wives) and their kids, and god only knows what else she talked about. And I really didn't need to hear her go on and on about the ex. In some ways, with the little comments she makes, its kind of like she wants the ex and I to get back together or something. I don't know...it's just weird and NOT happening.
I can just hope that tomorrow is a better day!
