I just called my husband and told him to tell me to get moving! I've been up since 6am and am dead tired. I have so much to do today because we are having a birthday party for my son tomorrow and the house is a wreck and I haven't purchased any of the food yet! And yet, here I sit...feeding my addiction...lol.

I'd be bored to death too, but at least I have some final projects I can work on for school.

Ya things are slow for me too. Just waiting for the shop to tell my what is wrong with my van. Either a bad cv joint or tranny problem. Just what I need a $200-2000 problem when I have my kids winter hockey registration tomorrow.

That's a bit of a range, isn't it? I predict $389. Now you can plan accordingly.

Hockey registration. Ugh!

I need to put ya'll to work. If I could hand out some to everyone, I'd have time to exercise and be a better ad for JP Fitness. I need:
-a bookkeeper to do that for the gym,
-a computer person to help with all the ones I fix at work, the gym and for family. Specifically how to get the wireless to work across the street for my mil.
-somebody to find or do some minor wood work around the house.
-a cook who cleans up after themeselves.

I'll do the cleaning since I am picky. I'll take all jobs regarding the kids since that is the fun
stuff.

Any takers?

That looks like the same list my wife gives me.

I guess I could do the cooking...if you don't mind cold meals by the time they got there.

i'm in the middle of work. ugh. i'm annoyed cause everyone at work wants to tell me how to do my job- which I appreciated last week. now i'm getting annoyed- if you want to do it go ahead, take it. i've got a tiny little cake plate and i'm trying to fit enough food to fit onto a platter onto it.

sorry, my rant is over! needless to say I feel your pain Erika! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Erika, my hubby can come over and do all the work you need done in the house. I have lent him out to neighbors quite a few times for his building/repairing capabilities. He's excellent when it comes to that stuff. I'll come along and do the cooking while you and the kids play with Justin [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'd gladly do bullets one and two but for the others my wife would argue, I'm not qualified.

It's amazing how easy it is to become a post whore when you don't want to do any real work. my azz is starting to hurt from sitting at this desk all day.

Well the Van is going to cost $2000+ 14% tax. one of the great reasons to own a car

My hockey reg is $330 plus his $265 and the van, not an easy month.

Where are you getting free TKD classes?

The free TKD is put on by a Cop at a school over in Windsor Park...he gets the space for free..will take donation but there is no "real" cost.

Sorry about the van. do you have to pay for ice time on top of your reg.

Oh, you mean costs to my hockey not the 6 year olds. I play in the Billy Keane league at Dakota. Times range from 7pm to 10:40. Mostly 9pm on. Nope the $330 is based on 14 guys playing and we get 29 games and 1 ex.
