Money Trees

I wish I had a green thumb.  I like to think I do, but really - I don't.  Of the many plants I would like to grow, a money tree is at the top of my list.  I have spent most of this day off (temperatures are at a high of -10 not factoring windchills, so school is closed) working on finding a grant or loan to apply for, but so far I am meeting dead ends or lengthy applications that require essays and letters of reference.  I know it is worth it, and I am sure I will be glad I spent this time working on this one day, but Yuck is the only word I can think of to say right now.  In about one month we will need our next fee of $4000 so I know this is necessary, but if only I had that money tree seed, maybe this snow day could have just been a play day.
