Coincidence….

…I don’t think so!!

Kevin and I are so financially strapped we can’t see straight.  My health woes killed us.  Now we are hit with back to school and Austin’s birthday on Labor Day.  We’ve been scrambling around trying to figure out how we are going to get at least the bare necessities for school and something, anything, for Austin.

Then, yesterday, I learned that I’m getting a $500 incentive at work tomorrow.  So that would get us school clothes, haircuts, and the remaining school items that the kids need.  Plus a few groceries.  But we still don’t have any money for Austin’s birthday.

Kevin called me this morning.  He found out he was going to receive a $500 bonus for getting someone hired at his job.  $500!!  We can get what is on Austin’s wish list now. 

This is so great that I think I need a margarita. dancing Now if only our house would sell! waiting
