Brakes...

So I went today with the goal in mind of getting my brakes done, well I do not have the kind of money that I was told it was going to take. Praying that they will hold together for a few weeks and then hopefully I can get something done. I will be limiting my driving to school and photo shoots and on the weekends I guess we will be using Brandon's truck.
The boys' both had a great day today. Thursday papers were the center of attention for homework and I am so excited to say that this week they took less time than they have all school year. I think Danny is getting it...Do it right the first time then you do not have to redo it! John Michael had a green face and did great on his papers. We are definitely making progress in the right direction.
So if I was not already stressed about money and brakes I get home get the main and have 2 bills from the doctors. One for me and one for Danny together they total almost $500. Add that to the $600 deductible I will have to pay for John Michael come next Friday and I am not sure at all what the heck we will do. Praying for a break from the financial burdens. This too shall pass...this too shall pass...this too shall pass...said with the ruby slippers on and clicking together.
Soccer practice this afternoon was great. They really seemed to get it and hopefully the game this weekend will show their hard work at practice. Win or lose though they are having a good time and definitely learning. All of the kids on our team are rookies and I am super proud of them no matter what! Their coaches are also extremely patient, which is a trait I wish that I had.
Well, I am trying to get the boys in bed, and I hope to follow them there soon. I need to be in bed by 9...doubtful, but hopeful.

Today was a great day, I have made some progress in the office, which is definitely a good thing. I like Progress.
I started my day off going to Mass with the boys' school. I enjoy being a part of their day and spending it in Mass reminds me that there is not a better place for my boys to be. I enjoy spending the hour with them, with Jesus, and in prayer.
School uniforms are clean and ready to go for the rest of the week. I love the fact that I do not have to worry about what the boys will wear tomorrow. Uniforms are the best! Just another blessing I was counting today.
Homework is done and the boys both brought home basketball registration forms. I knew that Danny was going to play, but John Michael really wants to play too. I guess we will finish soccer and dive in head first to basketball. I am thankful that they are so involved and that they enjoy sports. While it keeps us busy it also is a lot of fun, and adds to the blessings count.
Not sure what to do about my brakes, I desperately need new front brakes and just do not have the money. Anyone out their feel like doing their good deed by doing my brakes? I could use it. I know that it will all work out, but I have no way to swing it, and with all that is going on from this weekend until Christmas having the ability to stop while driving will definitely come in handy.
So today was our second den meeting for October. We are closing the gap on getting the bear badge which makes me very proud. The boys are working hard. We will even be working at the pack meeting next week. This week, we played board games, learned some facts about Tennessee, and learned a little about photography. It was a lot of fun, and again productive. Now if I can find Danny's book so I can see where we are and what we still need that would be GREAT!!!
Well, the boys are in bed, and since it is now past 10:30 I guess I should head there myself. Prayers for you all tonight!
