I lucked out

I usually do not see myself as "lucky". But the other day someone was truly watching over me. My mom, the boys, and myself had all gone out shopping. We first went to Target which is right next door to Kohl's. After Target we decided to walk down to Kohl's. At Kohl's the boys were bored, and acting bad! When we were leaving I was just concentrating on getting the boys out of the store without having all eyes on us, since they were being loud.

On our way home we stopped for gas. I had given my mom money earlier on in the day to hold for me, so we could put gas in the van. Well, after getting gas my mom handed me the change. I took it and searched for my purse to put the money in. That was when I realized I had left it at Kohl's. I had left it hanging on one of the stores stroller/carts. I was frantic once I realized I had left it. Not only did it have ALL of my credit cards,my license, health cards for myself and family, money, and my expensive camera. I was expecting the worst, and hurried through the Koh'ls bag to find the receipt to call the store to see if they had found my purse.

When I called I felt a little relieved because the lady from Kohl's said they had my purse. But, I couldn't help but wonder if anything was taken from it. When we got to Kohl's Bradley and myself ran in. At the costumer service desk I was given my purse. This may sound crazy, but the thing I looked for first was my camera. I was SO relieved to find it in the same spot, along with all my credit cards, and money. Nothing was touched at all! A very nice elderly man was kind enough to take my purse to the customer service desk. If that man had not done that I do not know what would have happened. I just feel like god knew I couldn't deal with losing all my identification, and anymore stress than I already deal with on a daily basis. I was just very, very, very lucky!

Now, the other thing that may be happening to make our lives so much better is Brads job. There is a possibility that he could get a promotion. If he did I would be so relieved. Right now Brads new job does not cover all of our bills. After child support is deducted and paid, we are left with about $600 to live off of and pay all our bills. It is not enough! I also do not want to with drawl my boys from preschool, just because we pay so much child support. I do not feel it is fair for our children to not have things they deserve. Samantha sure does not suffer. Brad's parents pay for that child to have everything, not to mention all of the support WE pay(the mother does not work), and we pay a lot!! I have always really liked Samantha, and know it's not her fault. But I also know it is so unfair to my children that they are left with nothing. It's also unfair that Brad's parents show so much favoritism, and do not treat the boys the same as Samantha. But anyway, I am just praying that Brad does get a promotion in a few weeks. We really need for that to happen!
