Happy Good Friday! Easter is Sunday and the warm up hopefully starts around noon. Not sure if we’ll have our baseball game tonight as the fields might be too muddy. Lori has a full day at work but Dr R did agree to let her work a half day a week from home. This might not sound like much but trust me, a 2 1\/2 day weekend is a whole lot better than a 2 day weekend. Getting off at noon on a Friday (if that’s the day she takes, it’ll vary from week to week) feels like a 3 day weekend.<\/p>\n
I have a conference call with Ohio this morning at 7am. Hopefully I’ll be done in time to take the boys at 7:45. Right after school, if we have no game, we have to get back on working on the house. If it’s game on, we’ll be gone from 4 until 7:30.<\/p>\n
If you missed the\u00c2\u00a0April 1st\u00c2\u00a0post, it’s there now, check it out!<\/p>\n
God Bless.<\/p>\n
