We're checking lots off our list today!
My husband had the day off work today and graciously agreed to volunteer at our daughters' school Book Fair this morning. I was supposed to volunteer Thursday morning, but school canceled. Given that the PTO relies on the Book Fair to raise money for books and supplies and I am an officer, I thought we should pitch in and help today. I had to work, though! So, Brian manned up and braved the onslaught of eager readers who came two classes at a time throughout the morning.
Our PTO President, who is also a good friend, fellow Mom and reader of 5 for Hope, joined our 4,000 today. She and her family take our total to 269. Then, a friend from law school who is still working on her education gave us $5 too! We now have 270 of our 4,000! Amazing! And, we added one more Facebooker to our group to take our total to 96!
We also had an appraisal done on our house for the purposes of our home equity line of credit. We are hoping the combination of a new appraiser and having my husband there to lead the tour will squeeze out a couple thousand more in value than the appraisal we had done for our failed refinance idea. Fingers crossed!
Speaking of fingers...Brian went to the police station today to be fingerprinted for our home study. I plan to go next Thursday morning. Because these are done electronically, I'm worried I won't be able to give good prints. When I was a judicial extern at a federal court, I tried several times to have my prints taken electronically only to be ink printed by a federal marshal when the clerk gave up trying!
You can cross your fingers and send up some prayers for two things this coming week: 1) the above-referenced trip to the cop shop and 2) I have a job interview next Friday morning at 9 a.m. for a job that I have wanted since I was in elementary school. No pressure!
My mom is in town this evening to help with home study preparation. I'm glad she doesn't have a blog...the stories she could tell!
P&PT for fingerprints, job interviews, home studies, and finances!
