welfare 2 wealth: Jul 31, 2009

Welcome

This is strictly about me-going from Welfare 2 Wealth, my interdependance on God and financial sufficiency. There's no "fakin' it till I make it" going on here. Just me being real "doin' it and gettin' through it". I think there are many other women in the world like me. Women with barriers and a heart to do better. THIS IS OUR STORY!

On the Welfare Side: These are posts showing me going through the struggles of getting from one socio economic level to another.

On the Wealth Side: These are posts that I consider wealthy. Wealth does not just include money, buy health, happiness and family- but a little money wouldn't hurt either.

Thank God It's Friday

On the wealth side.....

Oh what a difference a day makes! During the summer our city has outdoor concerts on Fridays. The name of the event is Friday Night Live. Today was Swing Night. The crowds turned out and we had a great time. Best of all the entertainment is free. I spent about $8.00 on Crazy Bread and icecream for the kids. The kids even got a chance to enjoy face painting and some carnival type games. I think that makes up for missing softball practice yesterday. What do you think?

Can't wait till Friday

On the welfare side.....

This was my gas tank Thursday evening. I had to pick the kids up from their summer program and hope and pray to make it home. They had softball practice that unfortunately we didn't have enough gas to make it to. Saturday is the last game of the season let's hope missing this practice didn't hurt their A game.

We were disappointed, but kept ourselves occupied and we knew it would all be alright because Friday was comin'.
