It’s been two weeks exactly since we lost our truck to fire and just this morning we had a scare with our car!
Gino was heading into Seattle for a meeting with a client, when he hears a popping sound. As he pulls off the exit to leave the freeway, a noise from the tires causes him to get out and take a look! The rear tire blew out!
- Thankfully Gino is alright.
- Thankfully the car is not damaged.
So after taking it to the tire shop, it looks like we will have to buy 4 new tires for the spork!
Makes me want to just scream! I’m not going to though. I know that this is an attack on us for beginning FPU (Financial Peace University with Dave Ramsey). I know it is!
We begin the class and two weeks later we get half of our baby step 1 complete. Two days later, our truck is gone! Two weeks later (today), we need new tires on the spork! Satan isn’t liking us for taking control over our money and getting real peace about our finances. He’s mean! He’s nasty!
We are not giving up! We will continue finding financial peace…

Today is Wonderful Wednesday and it’s music class with Mr. G and computer lab with Mrs. T.
During music class with Mr. G, they sang all their favorite songs. Isabel’s favorite one lately has been “Oh! Susanna“.
While she was in the computer lab, Isabel completed 3 AR tests and got her “Rising Reader Level 1″ award (she told me there are 5 levels)! The school is getting closer and closer to their 50 million words for the year. The total words so far read are: 18,241,025!
This coming, Friday the whole school will be participating in the “Read the Most“, the students will collectively try to break the record for the number of books read and AR tests taken on a single day!
After school, Isabel was again in the after-school care. Gino didn’t get her picked up until 6 p.m. They both arrived home around 6:30 or so. We got homework finished quickly before sitting down to eat dinner together and then it was off to bed. I missed them both today…
