Things Can Change Quickly
11:00 AM
Don’t you just love payday?! Kevin gets paid every two weeks, so certain bills are paid on the 15th and others on the 30th. I like knowing that I don’t owe anyone for a little while. When I pay that electric bill, I enjoy the fact that I don’t have to pay them again for another month. It settles my mind and it makes me happy. I am happy and grateful we have the money to pay those bills.
Now that I am talking about this, I am thinking not many people talk about money on their blogs. I know it is a very private matter and I agree. I don’t tell people how much money we make (even in surveys), but I don’t mind talking about our general bills. I guess people have certain bills they consider private also though. I mean, I’m not going to make a laundry list of our bills, but if someone asked me about something specific, I wouldn’t mind answering.
I consider tax money private. If you want to tell me how much you got back on your taxes, that’s fine, but don’t expect anything from me. Am I the only one like this?
It shocks me how many people disclose how much money they make on their MySpace page. I believe most of them are lying. I really do. And do you really want some creepy person looking at that number who only cares about how much money you make? I’m sure there are people out there who look for that high number and then try to make friends with them.
In any case, I feel settled. I have paid the bills, gone to the bank, filled the car up with gas, and gotten what we really needed from Wal-Mart. I love going to Wal-Mart or any store for that matter in the morning. There’s hardly anyone else there and you get the run of the store. The check-out process is also a gift; no lines!

Boy, how a few hours can change everything!
Mom was supposed to come home today, but last night she had a high fever. The nurse told dad this morning she had been throwing up and was very sick. They have taken blood for lab tests so see what is wrong, but those haven’t come back yet. They are giving her antibiotics. Needless to say, she will not come home this day. As of now, they have given her something and she is sleeping deeply.

Sorry to hear mom's sick again! Hopefully it is a passing bug and she'll recover soon. She's in my prayers.

I'm SO sorry to hear about your Mom. I hope she makes a fast recovery. Those chemo drugs are harsh. I don't disclose a lot about money to people either. I grew up very very poor, and now when I go back to my hometown, everyone thinks I am filthy rich - LOL! That's far from true, but in a town where people struggle to pay their power bill each month, I guess I am considered rich, driving around in my paid-off car drinking $4 cups of Starbucks coffee. Funny to think of it that way. I guess it's all relative.

Tell Sharon she is in my thoughts and prayers. If there is ANY thing I can do.....I will!
I always make sure when I go up to see her that I'm not feeling poorly or like I might be getting something. I guess we can have bugs before we know it but I have never gone to see her when I even suspected I've been around someone that might be sick. Keep us in the know on everything please!
Love you all.
