Too funny!! He was so busy drafting his manipulative email that he did not even bother to check the calendar. I am jealous of your spring break plans! I think that I am going to pick a baseball game to take my little guys to this spring before it gets too hot. My family is originally from NY, so I am a die hard Yankees fan. But the Nationals will have to do for now.

M - I think that is a great idea! My H is actually a real estate broker. He LOVES his job. It is hard work, if you do it right, but the flexibility can be awesome. There are so many possibilities. He works for a national company but runs his own team and has several former SAHMs who are now working as full time or part time agents. He also has one former SAHM and one mom who worked full time that wanted more flexibility that now work as his showing agents while they on getting their owner clients. They show all of the houses to my H's clients and then he negotiates everything. They get a share of the commission. If you ever want any recommendations or advice, let me know.
