Good day all! I am so glad it's Friday. We have a completely open calendar tomorrow, although I have a good deal of prep-work to do for Sunday. I'm doing the children's sermon and then, of course AWANA so I have to get all my ducks in a row.

Linda, I bet your kitchen is just sparkling by now! Glad you made it home safely last night.

Ruth, enjoy your baking! I haven't had cheddar and apples for some time now, but I bet I could get some decent cheese in these here parts! Good luck with the pup this weekend!

Cyndi, hope the gallery sale goes well! I bet you'll be just smashing in your new top!

Rose, good luck with the dentist appointment! I think I get more nervous for my kids' appointments than my own.

Stephanie, I'll cross my fingers that your deposit arrives!

Lisa, if you're off to work I hope it's because you're feeling better!

Gonna, glad to hear the foot is healing. Go slow with your workouts!

Zeff, hope your water gets turned on soon! Enjoy your evening at the book store.

Rikki, I bounce between a stricter meal-by-meal plan and a more general eat-this-don't-eat-that guideline as well. Some days I feel like I need someone (myself planning) telling me what I should eat and some days I feel like I need the freedom to just reach in the fridge and decide if I want stuffed peppers or roasted eggplant for dinner. I kind of keep both "plans" in reserve so I can use whatever I feel like I need that day.

Heather, I'm jealous of your sleeping in! Kadyn was up at 5:45 this morning. I was already up and exercising, but she totally cut into my "me time" in the morning!

Ugh. More in-law drama....why does nobody understand the fact that my family wants to remain Switzerland in this entire matter?

I'm so tempted just to pack the family up and move to Minneapolis....the drama won't be "popping in" when it has 1300 miles to go.

Zeff. Sorry about the drama.

I'm SO glad it's FRIDAY and the day is done! What a week! It would help if my boss, the controller, did a better job at explaining things to me (as in how to do what she's wanting) and the "examples" I have to use were correct! I pulled an american express bill from the previous girl and found out she was coding them wrong! Same with the worker's comp bills! ARGH! I can code most of it, but it's not as simple as saying "gas" goes to account 8020... NO... gas can go to General ... travel and reimbursment 8020 for the admin staff, or direct for auto, direct for flat, direct for syracuse auto, direct for syracuse flat, direct for contract rochester, direct for contract syracuse, direct for rochester commercial service, direct for syr. commercial service, indirect for all, shop for all (of those just listed) so when I say gas can be coded at least 16 different accounts, you know I'm not just making it up! LOL...

So when anne asked me to look at workmans comp, dump it from payroll, (have to dump each week), code according to gl, then according to workmans comp, and figure out the compensation bill, I tried using the prev. girls work, and found out it was all coded wrong, as well as her formulas not working right! And that was just the last three hours today!!!!!!! Lets not get me started on payroll for the week (which took two days just to code and key it in) and another day just to pull all the reports we needed, get time cards out, and verify that everyone got paid accordingly....

So when I say THANK GOD IT'S FFFFFRRRRIIIIIDDDDDAAAAYYYYY!!!!! you know why I'm psyched and ready for some "down time!" .

OK, I'll be back for personals, ds just called and I'm treating him and his gf out for fish fry, and YES, I DESERVE TO HAVE IT FRIED (but I'll not eat the skin, I do have two doggies that need their fair share! )

I got paged by the social worker at the nursing home today. Looks like the insurance company doesn't feel Robert needs to be in a nursing home any more and he has to be out by Sunday. None of his friends will let him move in except the ones who live in second floor apartments with no elevators so they were trying to get me to let him move back in. They knew we were going through a divorce. If I didn't agree they were going to contact the county's only homeless shelter and see if they would take him. I told them that considering his attitude lately and the fact that he still has charges against him for assaulting me (and there is a restraining order keeping him from my work and house), I was not willing to let him back into the house. I told them that I thought it would be the wrong thing for our son to deal with. I haven't told Brian yet.

I did talk to my lawyer and he told me that I could get served with papers to force me to support him but he will deal with it if it happens and make sure that it comes from the final settlement. I just don't know if I can afford to pay for an apartment for him as well as support Brian and I but I guess I will find out. My lawyer also suggested I post a notice in the window near the front door with a copy of the restraining order so that a locksmith woudn't let him in the house.
