Where We Stand

Posted in Every Day Blessings

We are still waiting to find out which store dh will be coming to on this side of town (transfer) but he has been approved to come to this (hopefully closer) district.  He will close out the store he is at -- last day April 30 -- then spend a few days tying up loose ends, a week at a different store to fill in for vacations, and then we will take a vacation before he goes to his new store.  We are probably just going to work on getting the garden in but might spend a few of those days camping (BIG prayers needed there because it isn't just plant the garden -- TONS of sand need to be moved (probably should rent a little tractor but can't afford it so my boys will be building muscles and I will hopefully be loosing weight), beds need to be built, new sprinkler lines laid and THEN we can plant -- really a whole summer's worth of work).  And in the middle of all this we have 2 end-of-season soccer parties (one of which I plan), Flamenco (open house tomorrow and they want homemade cookies but only told us on Wend!!!), 3ds Reading Rainbow award luncheon, Mother's Day and homeschool planning!!!  I don't see how it will all happen but we shall "rely on the L-rd"

And the CAR!  That is a tough one for us.  We don't know if we should keep the silly thing since it has stranded me twice in the last week (obviously replace the battery) or let insurance have it and look for something else.  Since we are an active family (with too much stuff) it is nice to have the big vehicle for camping and such plus I like that I feel very safe it but on the other hand you can just tell it is at that stage in a car's life where everything starts to fall apart.  Dh doesn't think we will actually find something similar to replace it without more money and we aren't making enough money to save or do without the 2nd vehicle for awhile.  It is a really tough decision.  At the moment dh is testing the "sell-it" waters, finding out how bad the frame is bent, how hard it would be to pull it or have someone pull it to straighten it out, and we are kinda shopping to see if we can find something we would all fit in.  When we have too many options it is really difficult for us to make decisions.

And onward with the Passover cleaning; it might just be done by NEXT Passover
