this morning when i woke up, i felt wonderful.  i still do.  hopefully this is something that will last.  especially since i have so much stuff to do and get figured out.  tomorrow i am mailing a deferment request for my loans.  i really don't see how they will be able to deny me when they see my payment to income ratio, but there is always that fear that something will go wrong.  if this place approves me i get automatic approval from the other place.  think good thoughts for me. 

tonight we need to get groceries, carve pumpkins, and get flu shots.  pretty sure sami is going to get one.  we had a long talk about it and she decided it would probably be ok.  if so, we can add getting ice cream to the list of tonights activities.

oh, and our dryer broke a couple of days ago.  my dad is so cute because he called me yesterday to ask about it and it was obvious that he didn't want to offend jared by stepping in to check it out, but that he really wanted to take a look at it.  he came over and figured out the problem (burnt wires and stuff), now we just have to see if it is fixable.  he is going to talk to someone today and let us know.  add that to the 'to do' list.

i am also going to finish cleaning the house (hopefully).  i got so fed up with jared's clothes being on the bedroom floor that yesterday i decided to put it all in trash bags and shoved it into the closet.  some clean, some dirty.  i didn't care.  he gets up for work at 4, so there is no light and he had trouble finding stuff in the bags this morning.  he kept breathing heavy and making annoyed sounds.  i wanted to say, "if you would pick up your crap, you wouldn't have this problem".  instead, i just pretended to be asleep and smiled to myself.  maybe that is why i am in such a good mood today.
