It's a birds-beware window

We've wanted to replace the window in our kitchen for a while. It was tacky, dark, and fake stained glass look to it. We could see anything out of it. We took the window off its track Saturday night thinking that Lowe's or Home Depot would be able to replace the glass on Sunday. Neither store replaces glass in windows! So, yesterday I took the window to a specialty glass store, and the guy was very reluctant to work on it since it is a Pella window. The way they put their windows together makes it very difficult to modify them in any way. While he was talking, I noticed a place in one of the corners that the horribly fake sainted glass looked like film...like tinting. The guy said, "Yeah, you can scrape it off." When I got home, I used my nail to pull up a corner of the film. The whole sheet slowly came off!! Brad came over, and we did a little dance of joy. We didn't have to spend any money to fix the issue with our kitchen window! How wonderful is that?

It's going to be difficult to go to school and work at the same time. Even though I don't start until next Monday, it's already stressful because I am trying to get ahead on my homework. When I decided to go back to school, Brad and I talked about how I would need time to do homework and he would have to help out a bit more around the house. He seemed to understand and respect my decision. Well, now that I'm going into the third week of school, it's becoming more difficult to do schoolwork when Brad is home. This is one of the only things we're having problems with in our relationship. I agree that it is important to spend lots of time with each other, but I also need time to do some things independently. He's argument is that I should have everything done while he is at work. I get the majority of my work done during that time, but sometimes there are things I think of and want to research after he gets home. I feel like I have so much to learn, and I want to make sure I'm not short-changing what I learn in class because I don't know all rules of grammer. Once I start working next week, I will always need to do homework at night. I just don't know what to do to make both of us happy with the situation. I'm not complaining about Brad!! We love each other very much, and our relationship is great. We're just trying to work through how me going to school and working is going to work.
