I'm so glad Friday is here and the weekend can begin. Not being scheduled to work on Fridays anymore has really made a difference in my stress level. I have this one extra day to catch up on all we've missed during the week before the weekend begins.
The cut in hours does mean my paycheck is smaller, but I have to trust God will help it all work out. We may have to begin dipping into savings, but that tax refund is just around the corner and that will help us buy more time until DH can find work.
The news on the broken car- it was a stuck caliber and brake work. Bad news is that means $400, although I'm grateful it wasn't a transmission problem. I was thinking it was going to be thousands, so the $400 hurts much less.
Today we're using our movie gift certificates we received from DMIL at Christmas to see Avatar in 3D. Going to a movie on a Friday, in the middle of the day feels like playing hooky! It's going to be great, even if the movie isn't.
Tomorrow we'll have the birthday sleep over. 7 young men in the Mancave, eating pizza, drinking soda, staying up all night playing video games. My only responsibility- make homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast the next morning.
Sunday our neighbors across the street are having us over for supper and football. I'm looking forward to garden planning with my mentor as well. My neighbor friend is a long time master gardener and with her guidance, I have decided to chop up most of our lawns to grow more organic veggies.
Monday DS10 turns DS11. I do have to work that morning, and we have an appointment in the afternoon, but we're hoping to still take him out for supper in honor of his official day. Last night DH & I already began reminiscing about how quickly our son has grown. I think I'm going to have to pull out the baby pictures and get that scanning project going.
Hope you all have a great weekend!

Glad the car could be fixed without too much cash outlay... enough, but as you said, it could be worse! I heard that Avatar 3D is awesome. I sort of want to go see it now, too. Let us know what you think! Happy Birthday to DS10/11!! Have fun! Enjoy your weekend and tell us all about it, please!
Happy to hear that you got your car fixed and even though $400 is plenty, thank goodness it wasn't more. You have a full weekend ahead of you Dawn so enjoy it to the fullest. Have fun at the movies this afternoon.
Sorry to hear your car repair was $400 but it's better than a few thousand. Have fun at the movies. Happy early birthday to your son. Hope he has a great day + a fun sleepover. Have a great weekend!
So sorry to hear about the car, I wish we lived closer since dh works on cars. Its amazing how much car repair costs is labor.
DS birthday bash sounds like alot of fun for him, Happy Birthday early.
