like you just can't get ahead? Lately I feel like I am telling Matt about a repair or something that will need replaced. Today was the icing on the cake. The refrigerator is not working...as of this morning. The freezer and refrigerator are not cooling, so we need to order parts for it, and Matt can fix it. All so we can save about $100. Because we have other things that are in need of fixing, its all about saving as much as we can. Matt and I were talking the other day about how we need to save more and Matt said, "so if the refrigerator goes out, we'll have the money to fix it". Next time Matt use a different example, "if the kids need bigger shoes..or something cheaper"...thanks! I will say I am SUPER grateful for coolers, small refrigerators, my deep freeze and AWESOME neighbors that were willing to let me store some things (mainly yogurt) in their refrigerator.
Oh and Josey is all over my kitchen...I guess it's time I sweep and mop the floor for the day. Lately I've taken the attitude that it's just going to get food on it when they eat at the next meal, so why sweep it after every meal. Time to go back to sweeping after every meal.
I am SO grateful for Ally. She is so willing to help and do what's asked. She's great at playing with the kids and reading books and coloring with them. I love listening to Ally. She's so excited about school and everything she does at school. She wants so much to make mommy and daddy proud. And boy are we proud of our Ally. She's beautiful, talented, loving, charitable, compassionate, a friend to everyone and a great sister.

I know how you feel about getting ahead. We've been saving for over a year knowing we'd need to get a van sometime and luckily we've found one at a good price and are able to put down a good down payment. I guess our dryer got jealous and decided it wanted to be new, too. Now we'll be buying a new van and a dryer all in the same day. It cost just as much to fix it as to get a new one. Hope everything works out for you and nothing else breaks for a while and the kids don't have any growth spurts. Maybe it's better to have things happen at the same time, be stressed then and get back on track then to live stressful moment by stressful moment as things take their turns breaking. Just one way to look at it. :)
