Blessed yet Irritated
Ok, I'm going to be kind of negative right now, but I promise to end it on a happy note.
I'm just frustrated. I try really hard to keep our family finances in order. Everything paid on time. Money in the bank and in savings. I do a pretty good job in general. But then yesterday I mis-judged something. I thought a deposit was going to post that day and so I went ahead and transferred some money to another account on our bank, and unfortunately the transfer went through, but the deposit is still pending. It looks like because of it we will have 3 over draft charges which is a $100 of unnecessary money that we pay the bank. That is so frustrating to me! It really beats me down and I need to get over it because it was an honest miscalculation... but still so frustrating... sigh. Thankfully Jon had a great week at his job and so there is extra money and so it's not going to "effect" us in a major way, but it is still money that could have been spent on other things, like my birthday! :)
So I'm so irritated right now. Grrr!
Ok, now to be positive!
Which should be really easy to do when I got an awesome gift yesterday. I received a bonus that is equivalent to one full paycheck, how awesome is that! We really needed it to finish paying off our tickets to Belgium, and we were so encouraged! It has taken a lot of pressure off Jonathan who has been working over time to get extra money. So praise the Lord! Something like that which is entirely unexpected just always reinforces to me that the Lord really is leading us and will always provide for our needs. SO yeah!
On to blonder subjects, last night Abby did my hair, so now I don't have nasty roots anymore. It's amazing what lovely hair can do to your overall love of life. I don't feel so blah when my hair is done! I need to post a new belly shot, so you can see my new hair then.
Also, I got my camera back, so here are a few pictures from Labor Day:

AND also I got a birthday present from my Mother-in-Law! She gave me a 100 euros for our trip next month! Woohoo! The best part was I got in on September 1st, which of course marked the first day of my birthday month. It was fun to open a present that day :)
Well today is my Friday as I don't work tomorrow. Actually I'm pretty sure tomorrow we are going to this Jump Zone place with the kiddos. It should be a blast! I'm excited.
Ok, Shiloh keeps kicking me in the bladder and I'm about to pee, so I'm out.
Later!

Hey Desni...
If you are not one who has the habit of being over draft often, go to a local branch & asked if they can remove one or all. Sometimes there is extra favor & just need to ask. I know with BofA, as long as they havent done one in the last 6 months, they usually will erase 1 overdraft for me. Unfortunitly... its happened often there for a while. Just ask.
have a happy birthday month!!!
yeah call the bank they can remove 3 overdrafts a year... and if you never have issues they will do it for you.
And...I think that I will be going with you guys to the jumpzone, so I finally get to visit with you in person. My girls will be in school, but I will have my boys. :)
yes definitely call the bank! I'm sure they will work with you. This is so frustrating and I understand trying to juggle all the family finances , it's a job in itself!
