Donation? $5 or $50

Thanks to our lovely Cox Cable bundle we have a house phone. Do any of us know the number by heart nope. Only people who ever call is " Hi is John there?" " No you have the wrong number"  Seriously 80% of the calls are for nobody who lives here nor do we know. Today the police department foundation people called requesting a donation. I said no because we are on a tight every dollar counts budget this month. I did my donating last month to one of my favorite charities ST Jude. I prefer to donate to them because I have two childhood friends who each lost a sibling due to leukemia. My second favorite charity is the Make a Wish foundation. It's a great thing that Make a Wish can make a terminally ill child's wish come true by either helping them meet their favorite celeb or letting live out their wish or blowing something up.  Donating is important. We may not be able to donate all the time but when we can it's always a nice feeling.

The 2 boys

I gave birth to my Bryan Anthony. I carried him for 39 weeks, had him with out pain meds and survived. If I had my way I would have kept him a 1 yr old forever. He has become so big. Today he made me upset when I came home because he told me he was bored and was practically in tears. So I told him "oh your bored? I'll show you bored!" and sent him upstairs to read a book. After dinner I sat and spoke with about a tragic event that has happened on his fathers side of the family and explained how they needed money. I told him how much they probably needed and asked him if he would be willing to help and he offered half of his savings which isn't much since he's only 10. But he said he was willing to donate it and wait on buying what he's been saving for. Of course I didn't take his money. I just put it out of my pocket. I usually get very annoyed because his dad doesn't help with money but today I'm thankful my baby and I have made it just fine all these year with out it thank God.

I didn't carry Zen, I didn't even know the baby Zen but I became his step mom once I married the Hubs. Every kid is picky. My son and step daughter are very picky. My husband is a picky ass too. But Zen isn't he's willing to try everything once. He makes cooking a home meal rewarding because he eats and asks for seconds. When he leaves in a few days I'm gonna miss cooking him meals. He doesn't get along with Bryan or Wednesday all the time but he is a protective big brother to the 3 smaller kids.
