Problem solved!!

I am extremely grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who hears prayers, loves his children, and provides little miracles. On the day the great money crisis occured, I went to my clogging class and low and behold, I got paid!! I never know when I am going to get paid (there is no paycheck or set pay day. Just a personal check to me), so this was AMAZING to me!!! It was enough to cover paying my sister off and my phone bill with some to spare!!! Can you believe it?! I immediately said a prayer of gratitude!!

On a different note, I got accepted to be an EFY counselor!! I'm not sure for what sessions yet or where until I fill out the paperwork, but I'm going to be one!! I never got to go to EFY so this is going to be a great experience for me!!! EFY get ready because here comes BOOBOO!!

Money, Money, MONEY!!

Why does there never seem to be enough!! My phone got turned off this morning cause I haven't paid the bill in two months. This wouldn't be a problem other than that is how work and EVERYONE else I know gets a hold of me. My lil bro and sis are also on my account so that means their phones got turned off too and they need them as well. I get paid next week, but of course it had to be this week. I was able to pay most of it and then get what I owe from Brendon and Breanna to pay the rest. The problem is that I am now overdrawn in my account, which includes a check to Alicia and Dan. I am hopin (praying really) that their check goes through and doesn't charge them anything. I don't mind if I get charged, but I hate charging others for my mistake. How am I ever gonig to make it on my own?!

Who's teaching our children what?

So today I subbed as a first grade teacher. I was thoroughly amazed at what one of my students did. So they have a lunch count that they take and write on an envelope. In the envelope the teacher can collect money from the students to pay for their lunch. One of my students gave me $2.25 to put in the envelope. I then sent 2 kids to the lunch room to hand it in. I got a call a few minutes later asking who the $.25 in the enevlope was for. I told them and then they said 'thank you' and hung up. I got a call 2 seconds later asking if the money was for hot lunch. I told them "yes" and then they told me they needed $2 to pay the whole thing. I told them is should be in there, but they informed me that it wasn't. They told me to ask the boys when they got back. When the 2 boys returned I noticed one of them take out a couple of dollars from his pocket to show his friend. I proceeded in asking him where he got the money. He told me his mother had given to him. I then told him that $2 was missing from the envelope and asked to see the money. He had exactly $2 dollars. I asked him to tell me the truth about where he got it and he told me he found it. "LIAR" I said!! No, not really, but I did tell him I was disappointed in him for not telling me the truth and I made him take the money to the lunch ladies and then sent him to the office. Can you believe that?! 6years old and already he knows how to lie and steal!! What are these kids learning at home?!

For those who wanted pictures of my car....HERE SHE IS!!

Better pictures to come in the future!!

Lights, Camera, Action!

My little sister is in her High School's Musical production of The Apple Tree. She is only in the chorus, but she does have one line and gets a solo singing line!!! She does really good, but I feel bad for the theater department at her school. I am soo used to the theater department at Watkins Mill (my high school) that it's hard not to compare. Their orchestra SUCKS (my sister even said it) and they have to play on the stage. Our orchestra was AWESOME and we had an orchestra pit. Their stage is dinky with really small wings. We had a HUGE stage with HUGE wings. They can seat about 100 in the audience where we could fit about 2000. They have the same dressing room for girls and guys. We had a different for girls and guys, plus a separate HUGE room for costumes and HUGE makeup room covered in mirrors!! Even so, she did great and it was fun to see another musical production.

It's a dog eat shoe world out there!

For those of you who don't know, our family got a dog for Christmas. He is half border collie and half Australian heeler. He is adorable. But as a puppy, he loves to chew on anything he can get his teeth on. His favorite things to chew on happen to be my shoes. So I admit, some of it was my fault for leaving some of my shoes on the floor in my room, but we have proof that he actually limbs into our closet and finds MY shoes specifically and chews them up!! And by chewing them up I mean destroying them. WE have a total of 5 pairs of shoes ruined at this moment. The first pair to go were my favorite bright apple red heels. Then went a pair of cute brown Mary Jane looking type shoes that my sister bought me for Christmas. Then went the white sandals, then my hooker boots which I have had for alt least 6 years (this was the point when I started to cry) and finally a blue pair of flip flops. I don't have pictures of all the ruined shoes, but I do have the last 2 and a picture of him in the act of tearing up my shoes. BAD DOG!!
