We overdrew.  Yep overdrew alot.  We have been hurting financially and have tried to make do, but this month it didn't work.  I was very down.  And of course it happened on my birthday!  Yep a rainy, dreary birthday with NO money!  $245 in penalty fees.  Good Heavens!  Not to mention that Rob had an extra job lined up and it was rained out.

Anyway, we went to church on Sunday and I pulled out my checkbook and wrote a check for tithe.  A check that was no good!  No money remember?  We have been so bad about tithing.  We are sporadic and just don't do it like we should.  But that morning, I felt the urge to give even though I couldn't and at that moment I felt relieved.  I said to myself that I'm giving the problem over to God and I had heard that if you are faithful with your tithe then you will always be provided for.  Mom said not to give selfishly, but I said I was giving with faith.  Faith that something will change. 

We went home and I took a short nap.  When I woke up I had a thought.  I realized that I could move a bill a few days later and then that would give us money until I get paid again.  It's a loan payment that doesn't charge late fees!  And it would be within a grace period anyway.  Then Rob got more jobs lined up.  Then on Monday I got the opportunity to work at the tv station as an extra day and I got $20 extra dollars for that.  All of a sudden, we went from being way in the hole to having almost $300 extra dollars!  (within 3 days)

I look back......I wrote a check for $20 at church.  We were in the hole about $400 more than that at the time.  Was this coincidence or Divine Intervention?

BTW, we are in the clear now and we're going to be okay!

Katie had a great time at her Tea Party.  They are studying the Victorian times and this went right along with it.  There are 4 in her class and one is a boy!  He was shy and didn't want to have anything to do with it because he was afraid the word would get back to his friends in the main class.  (this class is a pull-out during the day)  SO the 3 girls had fun being prissy.  They ate cookies that MeeMaw and Katie made and drank tea.  Their poor teacher broke her arm and so that made for difficult pouring!  I wish I had pics, but I didn't send a camera with her. 

Katie also tried out for a musical.  Into the Woods, JR.  It was HARD music so most of the main roles were filled with older kids in college or late high school.  She did get a narrator part!  So at least she's involved and doesn't have too much to learn!  YAY!

This dress was the dress that my mother wore in Aunt Patty's wedding!  Mom was 27 when she wore it and she said it is tight on Katie!  I guess there was a good reason mom's students called her Olive Oyl!

Katie has a Tea Party tomorrow in her enrichment class.  She has to dress for it, so she will wear this.  What cool family history!  And when she called to tell her Aunt Patty about the Tea, guess what Aunt Patty was drinking??? 

Just makes you melt!  Awwww!

 You know, the hole in boys' underwear?  Okay, well Charlie has found that hole.  The other day he went to my mother's house and needed to potty.  Something told me to go back there....I usually don't when he pee-pees.  Anyway, I got there just in time to see his little thingy poking out of his underwear hole and pee all in the trash can and all over the stool.  The hole made his thingy go sideways and he didn't know! 

Then.......later that day......

I walked into the living room while fussing at him about something....who knows what!?!?.....and I looked down.  I shouldn't have! He stood there listening to my fussing dressed in a t-shirt and underwear with his little thingy peeking out of the hole!!!!!!!  Yep, I had 3 eyes looking at me!  Good grief!  I actually had to say "put that back in your underwear, Charlie."  We say weird things as parents!

I'll leave you with that!

I have not been receiving my daily digest to my email box for a long time now.  I really liked getting posts to my email box so I had them all right there.  Does anyone know how to help me?  I've checked all the settings and it SAYS that I should be receiving the updates each day!

HELP!
