So....today I had to call the plumber to come in and do a $200 job. I received a $200 check in the mail to help Jon and I out for commute, food at the hospital and so forth from grandparents. I was thrilled about that, hence my very optimistic facebook status amidst everything that is going on.
My little brother told his basketball team about Maddie's surgery and they bought her a gift and got her a card. And he is going to do a prayer request on the morning announcements for her too, which I thought was really cute.
I get the news that we probably have a cracked sewer line in our yard and it will probably cost around $2000 dollars to fix, but we can push it off a little while and our tax return should more than take care of it.
I get inside after talking to the plumbers about that, and realize I was so excited about opening that $200 check that I forgot to open the rest of the mail....We got a $1095 check from the title company that we used for what I assume were overpaid taxes to Oldham Co. that were paid in our closing costs. I still need to call and make sure that it really does belong to us, because I almost don't believe it.
And to top it off I got a $50 Pier 1 gift card in the mail that I had been expecting, but I am still excited about it. So, I made over $1300 opening my mail. Which is good since Jon's sick pay equates to $7.27 an hour and I am taking a month off.
I am feeling extraordinarily blessed today! I hope everyone else can feel this blessed too!
