Do you ever come across some things that just make you sit there and say HMmmm......... I do quite a bit lately......I wonder what "Criteria" some places use to decide who gets what are who "qualifies" for what.....
For instance with William and getting into Early Headstart....they said he/we did not meet the criteria.....
Now for Toys for Tots, we do not meet the criteria.....It was a long shot, it was a "swallow the pride" moment......and then I receive and email this morning that makes me say Hmmm......
It is not the end of the world, and my children will still have a Christmas...and I still will help where I can, I dropped off some stuffed toys in one of the local "BINS" and hope that some deserving child will receive them......A friend, last year, contacted Toys for Tots, for my children and she never even received a response from them, so I guess I at least can say that they did give me an answer.
I did not make it to the craft sale yesterday at the local nursing home. I have been just way too sick. The land lady did take my stuff with her, and sold one hat for $4. She took the stuff again today to another craft sale she was going to. So we shall see if I sell anything. Makes no difference, really. I will be posting stuff on my Etsy shop, tonight and tomorrow. I received a birthday present VIA my "Donate" button on my blog, so I have decided that $4 of that will be used to list items. It is 20 cents per item, so I can list all the items I have. I received my PayPal debit card in the mail the other day, so that will be nice that I do not have to transfer the funds into my checking account, and then wait up to 4 days for them to clear the bank. Hard to believe that it has been 90 days since I started my PayPal account....
I have not been doing much crafting. I did manage to get 2 complete rounds of blue on Jacks afghan and started a third. I believe that I have enough of the blue to complete 4 whole rounds in the blue, and then it will be done. I plan on making him try it out for some pictures, and I will post them for everyone to see how big it is. He is 5'11", and it will cover him nicely. Brooke sort of slipped about the afghan, but I do not think that Jack caught on to what she said, or he is just being nice and will let it be a "surprise" on Christmas morning. She only knows about the afghan, because she heard me tell the land lady about it, when I showed it to her.
I think it is time to go sit my butt on the couch, and maybe do a little crocheting. I will at least get the kids and myself dressed today, it may only be in sweats or such, but at least we will not be in our PJ's all day, again today......
Hope everyone has a blessed day today...........

Wendy when we needed help too we rarely qualified. I so know where you are coming from, but you know what, with God we always qualify. Even in the lean years, we always had enough, God never lets us down.
Sure hope things start to look up for you all soon. Keep your chin up!
