Laid Back Labor Day

Today has been one of the most laid-back days on record!!!  Here it is after 1:30 and I'm still in my jammies!  Oh well, I'm just going to enjoy it and not try to over-analyze it.....

We had a fun time at the Renaissance Fair, although I was in pain by the end of the day.  My ankles were swollen by the time we got home and I found out I had been bitten by something.  Ugh!  Between my back, hips, legs and ankles, I had to take an Ibuprofin just to feel good enough to sleep.

Today our niece is coming over for dinner....she is going through a rough time right now and doesn't even have her basic clothing, food, and shelter needs being met.  Plus, she has a 5 month old baby named Dylan who needs her.  She doesn't have a sitter so she cannot go to work right now.  She has been a part of the poverty cycle for a while now, and since things are tight for us as well, it's going to be hard to help her out.  We are going to offer for her to stay with us, but who knows what she will do.  As much as I want to help, we are trying to save up for baby step #1 and move forward in our own financial freedom.  We'll see what happens when she comes over today....we can at least send her home with a little food.

Well, this typing is tiring me out, LOL, so I will get back to being LAZY!

I love days when I stay in my jammies all day. My heart goes out to your niece. I was in a similiar situation 26 years ago when I was a young mother. If it wasn't for friends feeding me and my daughter, I don't know what we would have done. Just do what you can for her and know that God will bless you in multiples for it.
