I cannot stop crying

[Tnamari]

If you are struggling financially , then I know you are like me, your counting the days to Christmas. Not in the fun and exiting way, but in the how and the ____ am I gonna make sure Santa shows up? MIL and I planned a yard sale-but the weather doesn't seem like it is going to cooperate. The following weekend which would be ideal my nephew is going to be in a parade- MIL has to be there. I haven't exactly hit panic mode since I do have $$ for bikes and about 2 small bags from clearance and dollar stores. My husband seemed a little worried the other night , and we talked and the Lord has NEVER let my children do without on Christmas, so we desperately clinged to our faith.

I checked my inbox a few minutes ago and there was a message from the cafemom team. I was selected to be an influencer for JCPenney!!!!! I immediately started bawling! An answered prayer for sure!! Cafemom - you are Angels and Heros! I am still crying. I am not sure I realized until now exactly how much we needed something like this. PRAISE THE LORD PRAISE THE LORD!

NO WAY!!! Lucky girl fer sho, but I know how much that will help. I am so thankful that mine are not old enough for a bad case of the "gimmies", Dalton circled a few things in the toy book all of which is do-able this year. I am stressin too tho, I still have to come up with something for the MIL, SIL, step daughter and my dad. My dad I always try to do something for because its not only Christmas, its his birthday too so I try to make it special. I remember one CM member last year on here that got Sears or Pennys one and she cleaned up with it! Hope its all that you need, congrats girl!

I think the best Christmases are the ones that make you thankful for every single gift under the tree.  We had that Christmas last year and enjoyed it so much more than the years when there was tons.  Remember the reason for the holiday and give that gif tof love and togetherness and they will remember it much longer than any thing else you put under there.
