Unintentially accepted

So...today I was accepted to Kaplan University. Didn't mean to apply, but managed to and to get accepted.

Oh the weeks I've had, let's give you a quick list...

Basement flooded about 17-18 inches (this time...last time it was only about 15...only.)

Oreo got sick, blocked uterine track...had to stay in the hospital for 5 days including a slew of tests and x-rays...$1000

Joseph threw up, like grown up threw up, at 10:45pm night before Easter. About 10 min later I learned that we yet again had no hot water. Got sick again the next day, nothing but toast and cheerios and good free mommy milk for 2 days.

Car wouldn't start. Got towed to shop, nothing to be found wrong. Drove home. Next morning, Car wouldn't start. Got towed AGAIN to shop, after 5 days in the "hospital" finally figured out what was wrong and came home...$400

Jon got yelled at by an individual last week from the church then the whole diaconate...only to come home to find that we owe an extra $1000 in taxes and our estimated is going to be $600 more per quarter than last year. If we assume that it will be an extra $1000 next year and divy the additional expense, that comes out to taking out an $302 out per month. That's what we spend on most of our food per month. Most of our money left after bills is spent on money because that's all we can afford.

Life in ministry: priceless.

No really...my love, my best friend, my shoulder, my listener, my confidant, my husband: priceless. My son: priceless. (well...$5,000 was what it cost to have him, but..you know what I mean..which he will finally be paid off this September. 2 min to pull him out of me and 2 years to pay him off)
