What a nice guy ( Times 2)

I was driving home from work, on the interstate. When I started to feel my truck shake. I thought nothing of it because it needs to be aligned and kept going. I get to the Cortaro Wal-mart to pick my mother-in-law up from work, and we're on our way.

Next thing I know I hear this thud thud thud,and immediately know what it is. So I stop in the middle of the turn lane near Arizona Pavilions road. I put my four ways on and get out of the truck to see just how bad the flat tire is. But to my surprise the tire is not flat but shredded.( This is not my truck, but this is what it looked like)





As me and my mother in law are sitting in the turn lane watching cars go by, a guy runs across the street to see if I need help moving the truck out of the way.
I tell him no thanks because the tire is so bad it that the rim was on the ground. he asks if he can help do anything and ( not knowing I had a spare) said " Maybe call the cops and tell them about us so they can block the lane off."



After the cop pulls up and asks what happened. I see a tow truck coming our way. The tow driver pulls in and asks " Where to?"



I politely have to say sorry sir but I have no money to pay for the tow, and my husband is on the way. He reaches over and gives me a hug and says " Don't worry about it, just think of it as my Christmas gift to you."

What my hubby is thankful for

4 more days

These cute as the dickens children are my pride and joy. My husband and I are VERY excited because in just 4 more days we get to see them. Which is a BIG deal because we have not seen our oldest son in 6 months.

I CAN"T WAIT MUCH LONGER!!!

I'm winning

Every year to make football season more fun for me, and to make me actually want to watch anybody else but the Colts play. Vaughn and I print up the whole seasons schedule and then we go each week and pick the teams we think are going to win the game. At the end of the season( in January) the winner, or person who picked the most teams that won through out the season gets a massage from the looser.

GUESS WHAT?!? So far I'm winning.Granted we are only in week 11, but I have won 9 of the 11 weeks, tied once and lost once. For someone who really doesn't get the whole concept of Football. I think I am doing really good.

Can't wait for that massage.

Feel like my dreams are being flushed down the drain

Okay so as you may or may not know I want to go back to school to become a Medical Assistant. However due to some pretty harsh times this last year, I dropped all my classes. Now I have a hold on my account that totals 1,241.10 . Hold on though there's a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel.

My job is willing to pay the 241.10, as well as paying all the expenses it will take to do the Medical Assisting program. But ( and trust me it's a big one) I have to come up with the rest of the money soon, because classes start in January and I can't register until this is paid off.


I am NOT posting this to ask for help. I will figure this out on my own. I am just posting this to vent my frustration of being somewhat close to my dream but having it ripped out of my hands because of the loss of my kids and signing adoption papers depressed the heck out of me, and made it hard to even want to get out of bed. Sorry but it just doesn't seem fair that when I appealed this and explained my circumstances( with a lot of proof) they denied the appeal.

All I can do know is pray that Heavenly Father will help me find a way out of this mess. So that my dreams can finally come true, and I can feel like I have made something of myself.

What a surpise

Wow, imagine our surprise when we got a phone call from Sister Day saying she had some stuff at her house that was dropped off at her house and meant for us. Well when we met her at the back gate of our apartments. She explained that the Cub Scouts were doing a food drive and thought of us for Thanksgiving. So we know have a turkey and a lot of the fixings for Thanksgiving.


Thanks a lot to all those that participated in this, we really do appreciate it.

GOD BLESS
