CALGON- Take me away!!!

In an effort to keep my head from exploding I am going to blog about my recent UOP experience. Student Teaching is considered 2 seperate classes ($1323.00 each) my next "class" begins May 5th. Today I got a phone call from the financial aid department ( I am a Cash pay student so I am not sure why this lady is involved in my education) any when she said who she was I told her I would pay on this Thur. which is the 30th. She then tells me how that is unacceptable and that if I don't pay by Wed I can't continue student teaching or graduate! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Apparently they have forgotten that I have already paid them $20,000 and am totally stressed out anyway and therefore in NO mood to be screwed with! So, I am taking tomorrow off work to speak with the supervisor, who by the way has never been in the office when I need to talk to him. ARGH!!! I have made arrangements to get money from my dad to pay it but I feel like it's now the principle of it! By the way... I wish I were laying on a beach drinking a fun umbrella drink!

Spring Cleaning Here I Come... Or not

I woke up this AM with the best intentions: clean my house and clean out my kid's bulging closets. After surveying Tara's immense wardrobe (some of it still with tags) I decided I would list it all on EBAY. So far today, I have listed 21 items!! WOO HOO!!! I will be rich! Of course then I can pay on our taxes, Tara's competition fees, her next trip to New York.., whew! I'm tired! Maybe a nap today and I'll start again fresh tomorrow! I would much rather play with Spike anyway!

HAPPY EASTER!!!

The Easter Bunny brought Zach a mini remote control car and Spike loves is fascinated with it. We have spent the entire morning watching Spike chase the car around the kitchen and dining room. Too funny! Will try to get a picture soon!
In other news, BJ's brother's funeral is Friday the 17th. Instead of buying Easter outfits for the kids this year, we bought funeral stuff... not nearly as much fun :o(
