Have you ever done something really stupid as a parent that you could kick yourself for later? That was me today. Listen to this...

Drew's teacher and I were finally able to touch base this afternoon. She knows our situation well and reminded me that she has always told me that she would help us in any way she could. She has already been giving us almost 50% off the tuition, so it never occurred to me that she would do anything in addition to that. With that thought in mind, she caught me off guard when she insisted that I bring Drew back to school on Friday and just catch up on my payments in February. She said that she misses Drew and that his best friend Ben has been lost without him this week. I was so wowed and brought to tears by her offer that I accepted without thinking about it. To make matters worse, Drew was standing there and got so excited at hearing that he was returning to school on Friday. It was then that it hit me... how in the world would I make two payments in February when I still don't have any money??

I could have kicked myself for opening my mouth....

So now it's back to praying today and tomorrow for clear direction from God. Perhaps He has plans for me to book weddings at the Bridal Show on the 19th and He knows that I have nothing to worry about.

Perhaps not.

And so it's back to prayer, and back to completing another two applications tonight.

P.S.

I do realize that I have a picture of Nick on a post that is essentially about Drew; I just thought it was his turn for a photo op.
