I have got to say that waiting for a pay raise is the hardest damn thing to do. John had received his promotion and a considerable raise in his pay, however, SnS gets paid every two weeks so it has been about a month waiting for his first big check.
I have tried everything in my power to stretch the money, feeding the kids 3 meals a day plus snack, is killing us. To top that off I can’t say no to them, I am learning but if they want anything extra somehow I find a way to get it for them.

I had mentioned all of this to a very dear friend of mine, right about that time our electric was shut off, and later that same day received a call back from her. When her hubby got home from work they had a chat and decided to go to the store and make a care package….actually it was more like a care truckload!! Her hubby even sent me some Grog, which I desperately needed. They got many boxes of mac n chz, tuna, fresh veggies that their neighbor picked from his garden, romaine lettuce, a carton of Marlboro cigarettes and even cat food!! I was so over whelmed I was speechless! Then she hands me a letter {I won’t post it without telling her first} a $20 bill fell out of it, but I balled like a baby while I read it. They are such wonderful people I can’t even find the words to express my gratitude!
We love you guys!! Thank you a million times for being here for us!

We also had other friends who helped out so much, feeding us, lending money for gas and cigs and just being there for support. We love you all!!

At the end of that one night my hubby says to me; “What did Clarence write in the book at the end of the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life”?”
