Relay for Life 2012

Hi All!

I am joining Relay for Life and The American Cancer Society again this year.  I am fundraising for the event representing my school at the Relay.

I have lost a father-in-law and grandmother to cancer.  I am happy with this organization and for what they do for people living with this terrible disease and seeking a cure.  When you give, you are helping to supply people with cancer "More Birthdays!" 

Please give if you can...here is the link to my page:

Happy Mother's Day! 2012

Happy Mom's Day to all the Moms and Moms-to-be out there!

I hope you all have had a terrific day!

My hubby and kids gave me two gift cards...one for Kohl's and one for Michael's!  Both are terrific.  With the Kohl's card...I found my son some new sneakers and I still have $10 left for myself later on.  I will probably purchase a new pair of yoga pants for the gym.  With the Michael's card (I haven't spent just yet) but will probably try to purchase a bookcase (raw wood one..small) if they have it.  If not...you know it is going to be jewelry supplies for supplies for my art room!  I am happy with what I have purchased and what I plan to purchase with the gift cards. I do not intend to waste a dime of it.

We also enjoyed church this morning.  The message was about what a "Real Woman" is...I hope they have this in an archive...it was a very good message and much of it would surprise you and not so predictable.  It was excellent.  My church's website, should you be interested in attending online, is: www.c3church.org !  The live feed for Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings is:  www.C3church.com/LiveFeed   If you can find today's message in archive...it is well worth watching.  They all are..but I really enjoyed today's!

As far as a financial update...we are doing fine...still battling that credit card I keep bringing up but it is looking better and better all the time.  Even though we paid a lot on it two months in a row and it says $0 due...we still pay the old requested amount to stay ahead so in future months should there be one that is difficult...we can skip a payment then or simply pay it off quicker!
Have a great week and Month of May!
I am a teacher and this month in the world of Schools is action packed with testing, ending classes, closing down classrooms, etc... It may be June before I can give another update!
Thank you for being a loyal Thrifty and Creative Reader!
Sincerely,
Melanie
