Yesterday was so endearing. The kids and I went to church yesterday morning like we always do, but since Shane was on duty, we decided to go to the evening sermon also. We all know that Maranda doesn't like to be home alone...so, church is always a great idea!
Anyhow, after the sermon was over, we were walking out of the sanctuary when one of the elderly women of the church approached Sheila and I to tell us how proud of us she was. Wow, I thought! She said that she was so happy to see us up in the choir during the morning session and to see us there in the evening was even beter! Then told us again that she was proud of us. How often do you get that from a person that you've only seen a couple of times?
I thought it was great...

I'm so UPSET!
Ok...here's the scoop. Head Start is a government funded program...it's based on financial income to determine how much you pay per month, or if you do. Way back in May, the director said we made too much, but that it would be fine because they would use some deductions and Christian could go there without any "tuition," if you will.
Mid-August when I found out that he was accepted to the program, I didn't even recheck to see how the financial implications would pan out. Guess I should have so that TUESDAY of this week, TWO WEEKS after he started school, I wouldn't get a phone call saying that we're going to have to start paying for him to attend.
I wasn't upset by it, until I talked with the secretary in the office who told me that for him to continue, I would need to send a check in for $121.33. Not too bad, I thought until she said, every 2 weeks. Then, I was mad. Not only did they expect this money by the next business day, they gave me less than 3 hours to talk it over with Shane!
The next morning, I get a phone call from the woman at the program office in Toomsuba saying that they needed our 1040 to complete his application!
HELLO!! Have you not had over 3 freakin' months to get all this information from me?! Anyway, after that, I decided that I wasn't even going to take my time to track down my information and fax it over to them...
The only good thing about this is...I don't have to get up early anymore...oh yeah, and my son gets to stay home with me too! Just kidding, he's the only perk!
