the.kindness.of.others

i know the old saying :do unto others as they do to you: well this very sweet person i am talking about is buying my kids some more school clothes. i couldn't afford allot, i bought shoes, school supplies and a couple pairs of pants each.
::the reason i couldn't afford these things::
our mortgage company has added 200.00 dollars to our house payment, plus 18% a month. and they gave me NO notice, so it was due yesterday. so me and a good friend of mine have had garage sales the past 2 weekends. and we didn't do too bad, she made 100.00 dollars total and i made 60.00 dollars total. anyway that has to go towards the damn house payment. but there is an angel out there that is kind enough to get me the rest of what i need before Monday. i feel bad that i couldn't do it, but sometimes we all have bad times.
::the garage sale::
so me and my good friend had a garage sale the past 2 weekends, last week it rained for 3 days straight. but we made OK money. this weekend we made more. but i don't get to go "hang out" with the girls allot, so this was nice, we laughed till we cried, and i say we became closer as friends. our kids and husbands weren't there, and it was nice to just be an adult.
::the rest of the day::
today we are getting everything ready for school, names on supplies, paper in the folders, and things of that nature. putting new sheets on beds, and getting into the groove of school. I CANT WAIT! i know that sounds bad, but really, i cant wait. and i am washing ALL my laundry, and ironing the kids clothes. anyhoo, hope everyone has a great weekend, and if your kids start school soon, hurray.
