mumbling on a monday.

{when i converted from full-time to part-time about a month & a half ago, i remember discussing with my boss the notion of having one day off every week.  he chose friday & i chose monday.  ha ha ha.}

anyways, it's monday.  it's proven to be a crappy one already, too.

this guy is headed to the vet today for an impromptu visit:

he's now known as sir pukes-a-lot.  i woke up this morning only to find out that frisco threw up on the bed {whoa, adam & i must have been sleeping hard to not even notice that frisco was heaving up last night's dinner at the foot of our bed}.  grumble, grumble.  nothing like having to wash not one, but TWO king size blankets first thing on a monday morning.  even better?  having to shampoo the carpet in the bedroom, too, because he had yet another "regurgitation episode."  even better than that?  having to break out the steam mop because a certain black & white boston terrier also heaved whatever what left in his stomach onto the kitchen floor.  *sigh*  he's outside right now, he did not eat this morning {duh!} and, of course, i called the vet {when i know good & well they'll just tell me to put him on a bland diet & monitor him...can you tell we've been down this road with frisco before?}.

i'm having an internal debate.  it's a tough one, too.  there are pros & cons on both sides.  i know what i need to do, but is it what i should be doing?  so, before i confuse y'all any more, i'll just say that the financial aid i've been waiting on has been awarded.  it will be applied to my school account next week {thank goodness!}.  my award for the school year is so generous that the remaining balance for both the fall & spring semesters is enough that i could quit working if i wanted to {i.e., this semester's remaining balance equals to what would roughly be my salary for the rest of this year}.  that is huge.  but, it's borrowed money.  and, if i quit working, we'll feel even more of a financial strain {because we'll go from two incomes to one}.  but, just concentrating on school would allow me to meet my goal a bit sooner.  and, we would no longer need child care {because i could go to school during the day while m & a are in school}.  *sigh*  it is a tough decision to make right now.  i do have a feeling, however, that by the time the spring semester rolls around i will no longer have to juggle working part-time and going to graduate school full-time.  why?

because adam received some exciting news regarding his current job.  he's only been there less than a month & wonderful things are happening.  i'm cautiously optimistic, but i think it's for the best.  of course, last night he sprang on me that he's considering another option.  a really, really, really big option.  an option that would keep him gone for months at a time...gone halfway around the world.  *sigh*

this is too much for a monday, don't you think?
