I don't think they even cared why I was quitting.  I called the supervisor to tell her in person and she simple said "I need it in writing and when will your last day be".  Personally, I like things quick and painless. 

What makes it worse, they wanted us to tell THEM who pays such....Good grief..

Kind of combine the two.  Dinner tomorrow.  Yee hah!  No dishes.

Hubby and kids (that are still young enough to be home) cook and  do the dishes on mother's day, so it's always been a nice week for me.

AND I'm a grandmom too..........  X 3.

Don't ask.     Still going uphill so far, though not far from the crest.  

I want to sign up and pay for a birthday card and want to know if there are opinions of who carries the coolest animated greeting cards for the most reasonable price. 

Ladies and gentlemen, your opinions would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Just way too much fun!  Especially when they both pushed their little cakes away and said PICKLES!

Next year they're getting birthday pickles.
