...because I've been working mine off this weekend.I've been at my laptop all weekend. Thanks to the snow day on Friday, I've finished projects for three schools, and I'm just about complete on a fourth.
These projects are priced at 25 hours each. I'm a tad more efficient than that, but still, I've logged a lot of hours at the laptop since Friday morning. My fingers hurt. My ass is numb.
All this activity comes not a moment too soon. The money from these projects will pay for new tires and a major tune-up for my Jeep, which we'll be driving to Arkansas and Pennsylvania for the holidays. We'll be on the road ten days and drive over 2000 miles before we're done.
The money will also pay for all of our Christmas shopping. There's nothing like waiting until the last minute, eh?
It feels good to have all this work done. And even better, the check is already in the mail.

That's good news, about the money.
Given the travel (and family), aren't you tempted to use it toward a trip for two? Lasting until about January 5th?
I know, dreamery.
Dreamery is right Syd. Fact is, Court would divorce me if we couldn't see her babies (her siblings) for Christmas.
This is the least I can do for the one who does so much for me.
Sorry that you worked so hard over the weekend, but wonderful about the money!
Ya know Syd, that idea is actually quite appealing right now. Wanna run away with us??
Um... honey? As much as I love Syd, the point of her comment was a getaway for TWO...
The better question to ask Syd is, can Amanda stay with her and K while we are gone?
Sounds good to me!
I was just trying to butter her up first. ;)
I really, really LOVE it when the check is in the mail.....
