We ordered this set to set up new program objectives, but we did it on our own. Yesterday sister said she is going to pay for it ... I need though to learn to ask her first. So ... That is like $425 back to me!!! Looks like we'll be able to pay rent AND groceries. There are 50 CDs/DVDs in total (like elementary program has 13), so it averages out to under $8.50 per unit. Thinking that is pretty good. I just love the variety it offers. Very excited. We cleared out a couple small cubbies for the materials on our hutch yesterday ... and made two binders for the materials ... one will be for checking the materials out and the other for the staff to read at their leisure. Feeling very good ... now waiting for the new towels and book shelves. The clothes came in yesterday ... they're great!!!!!!! We went to the gym for our orientation, though because of the storm the gym people were sending everyone home :( That was a bummer. We have to decide whether we go to the next orientation on Thursday at 7 pm, or to the one on Saturday at noon. We'll see. We're going to make it. I felt very proud in that we figured out and became a little more comfortable in getting the clothes on, getting to the gym, and getting the stuff back and forth from home to work to gym. It's a process right? Just one step at a time :)

Whoops gotsta go to work!
