We were able to pick up our new baby today!  We also managed to part with An Awful Lot of Money at the same time and are therefore now poor and in debt to the Bank of Mum (my MiL).  But, *squeeee* ... we have a brand new car!  She's so shiny!

I got a nice note (very rare!) from one of the users saying that the hard work I did over the weekend to migrate their old system to a new one was very smooth an they loved how fast the new one is and how everything seemed to be working the way they needed it to. YAY!

Ooops, grades are slipping - only a 97.5 in the second class.    ;D  Good thing, though.  My tough one is due tomorrow and I'm going to up all night finishing it!

I went out to breakfast with Hubby this morning.  Then to Office MAx. I had a ten dollar off coupon and joined the teacher club. Spent 93 bucks on school supplies today! I have to spend my own money now, because no money is school budget.
So
A box of copy paper
small paper clips
Kleenex, for me and the kids- I like Puffs with aloe, got the kids regular kleenex
Tabs for marking chapters
Two three-ring hole punches
scotch tape
Shredder pages to clean the shredder

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just send one of the [difficult] kids through?

I just got through donating blood at the blood drive here at work....I guess in a twisted sense, I just got paid to donate blood (or take a 20 minute nap at work)....lol. They have a blood drive once every 2 - 2 1/2 months here....it's awesome!
