More upbeat post

How about that for a change?
I meant for the nursing woes to actually be funny, but apparently missed the mark. Or all of you have experienced the pain and know there is nothing really funny about being bit by a little turd. He bit me again today on the other side, so we're done. I'm going to go buy some bottles and some chocolate and strawberry mix to make the milk more attractive to him than breast milk. Yes, I am a bad mom, but hey, I feed him Diet soda to get him in a good mood, so the sugared milk is a step in the right direction, I think.

Now for the cool news, and a clarification. I did not mean we do not have a van or vehicle, I just meant that sometimes you can't help but spend the money even when you don't have it, so its impossible to ever get ahead. We had to fix our van so we had a vehicle that would hold us. We had to fix dh's work car because if he can't get to work, he can't pay anything. So if that means you can't pay the mortgage this month, what are you gonna do? Its hard. There is no getting around having a car, Donnie works 50 miles away, and he has to, we can't afford to live near his work, and we can't live on what he'd make near our home. Catch 22. So, yes, I do have working vehicles! Some things you can just let go, like the dishwasher, if that died, we wouldn't have to replace it when we don't have money. But we have to buy school supplies, we have to have vehicles, we have to fix our furnace, etc. We are putting off fixing the roof, but I know that it is going to cost us more in the long run this way, but there is nothing I can do about it. God will provide when the time is right. He always has.

After I got off the internet, my friend Jody called and whined to her a bit, and she offered to let me use her washer for my diapers, because I can't use the laundromat for them, its a complicated cycle of 2 rinses a wash and 2 rinses and you do not have control over that at the laundromat. Any way, she told our friend Jeannie that I was on my way over to use her washer and Jeannie said she had a washer I can have! Then Jeannie of course got on my blog and let me know that, too! Isn't she awesome!
As I was all upset about the washer today I was saying to God that I really just need Him to hand me a washer and dryer, because I just can't do it, I have no choice but to buy school supplies. And they can't wait, I HAVE to buy them. What am I going to do? And then, that very same day, God provided me a washer!
