Man it's been a while since I have been on here. Time has been flying by. I am almost 20 weeks into my pregnancy, half way there.

On Friday we went to our church banquet and it seemed to be over so fast. I think all the planning for the banquet then the day comes and goes so quickly. The church did so well. Our pastor prayed for a certain amount and got a little over that amount. Goes to show how far prayer gets you. My husband even fasted for one day. He had one heck of a headache all day though. He eats so much that it was hard to picture him not eating the entire day. I made him a pitcher of lemonade and he drank 1 glass of it ALL DAY long. The second 24 hours hit he ate. I would of probably gotten a sugar headache..or lack of sugar headache.

Anyway, working from home has saved us financially so much! I keep praying that God help us financially but I think this might be His way of helping. We are saving over $400 on gas each month, well that would be more like $500 now that the gas prices are so crazy. Thank GOD for that!! I guess God's favor was on me when my approval to work from home went through. I get to sleep in till 5 or 6am. I can basically start working whenever as long as I work 8 hours. I can work overtime. I mean, this is a huge huge blessing and I realize that.

Financially we are in a big bind. I know a lot of it has to do with my husband not working and not having ANY income at all, BUT it seems like no matter if he's bringing home $600 a week or not, we are still broke. It's like we don't learn or something. We need to get with it. I have so many bills to pay right now. $500 for Alexis school bill plus I need to pay the $110 registration fee for next year by 5/15. THEN I have to pay our cable/phone/DSL connection $190, rent $1050, $120 by June 1st for the Ladies Conference and a slew of other things. Unemployment has been playing games with my husband all month and to top it all off our bank LOST a $340 deposit we made. Yes, lost it and had NO record of it despite the ATM machine giving us a receipt. Keep in mind that when you make a deposit via ATM, the machine will not give you a receipt unless you put in the deposit slip, so they kept saying we never made a deposit, so my husband asked the branch manager to go and make a deposit so she could see what he was talking about. He said "Ok let's say I didn't make an actual deposit, where is the "empty" envelope I put in there"???? They could not answer the question. Since the deposit was cash, we think someone stole it and erased the record of the deposit. Thank God my husband had the receipt or we would not have ANY say so on this issue. Anyway, the back basically owes us $500+ dollars. So we will see where that takes us.

Anway, hope you have a blessed day.
