Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

To those that read here — merry Christmas to you and many SEASON’S BLESSINGS! Thanks for your continued prayers for our family. Things are okay — we are looking forward to an awesome Christmas tomorrow. We have been blessed, and God always provides. We have nice presents for the kids and lots of good food. We will be belt tightening in the New Year but we have much more than many people. I plan to donate some money soon to the poor and also to the Autism Society.

One year now I have stayed home – did not know it was possible for us to make it that long on one income! Though I do know my unemployment helped — that ended one mo. ago. May the Lord continue to provide for us……

blessings to you all, dori

I’m trying to get Christmas shopping done early so I can just deal with all the school events, etc., in December! I already am starting Christmas card/newsletter prep. I hope to get them out by Dec 1!!!! We are overbooked with activities – here’s our schedule: (And remember our busy 2 3/4 year old is with -me ALL the time, doesn’t nap, and sleeps like 8-5 a.m. (I can’t go to bed at 8 because of other kids still being up until 10 or so).

Comments: kind of long financial vent, feel free to scroll, but prayers appreciated anyway!

Hi – not reading tonight yet, just posting. I just went through to do papers, did my filing, and went through bills (ugh!). I still would appreciate prayers for our financial situation — I thought we were actually doing okay at the moment but when I checked my checkbook online saw that we were under. I had to rush my unemployment check to the bank (thank God I got it early! today to keep lots of fees from happening. I just keep wondering if as soon as this unemployment is over (I have 3 more checks coming) I should really try and get a night job at McDonalds or KMart or something — the secretarial jobs just aren’t coming through, not even non-legal ones. Obviously my attendance problems are huge and the last place is probably saying terrible things about my skills, even though my typing skills are very good.
