Jory won an awesome skateboard

My kids hardly ever go out. I guess that's one of the downfalls of being a single mom...no extra money, and i'm too tired to drive them all over town at the end of a work day. By the time I do the chores, do the shopping and run around for other errands, run errands for other people (yes i'm talking about girlfriend duties) it's rare i have energy to take my kids anywhere (I do...but it's a treat!).

So...I like it when the kids go next door to the HOUSE Band competitions they have at church. I must admit, I love having just a couple of hours of peace and quiet.

Last night at 10:45 my son came storming in the house, freaking out, screaming and pumped to the 10th decibal. He won a custommade skateboard which is valued at $200.00. I was so thrilled for him, because he's been asking me for a new one, but I really can't afford to dish out $200.00 for one. I'm so thankful to God that he blesses my kids - I really feel all the prayers being answered. Thank you to all of my family and friends who pray for us - because really this is a huge blessing to Jory. I saw his eyes light up - which makes me so incredibly happy.







It's been really really hot here...and is expected to be extremely hot today...they are warning 40 degrees celcius humidex factor and we have NO air conditioning...so off we go to D's house to stay nice and cool this weekend. I'm gonna finish up the garden too. I'll post pics when i get back. It's looking good!! Have a great weekend everybody!
