This is what I have felt like...

...for the past week. Jayden has been really sick for about a week now. He is on SEVEN prescriptions. This does not bode well for his mood. In fact, my usually sweet little boy has become an absolute terror. And Chris is working in Arkansas. And he left for Arkansas the morning after Jayden got sick, so I have been having to deal with this little terror on my own. And Jayden hates his medicine and throws a huge fit every time he has to take it-for about 30 minutes. And he throws himself down on the ground and screams and cries if you even look his direction. And he refuses to go to the bathroom (which I totally don't get). And he doesn't like anything that I make him for dinner. And I'm tired and about to pull my hair out.

My saving grace has been my parents who have so graciously helped me through all of this and have let me stay with them several times, and for this, I am eternally grateful.

Avon Calling....

Honestly....times are tough financially right now. I am sure you are all aware of that with all of this economy mess! Well, it is really difficult with Chris being a full time student and not being able to work very much. I still have my business, The Thrifty Trendsetter, but I have also just become an Avon Representative to try and supplement our income. Avon is a great company and it has some really great products! If you haven't checked it out in a while, please do. They have great deals on makeup, skincare, haircare, perfume, jewelry, and even clothes and shoes! I would LOVE to be your new Avon Rep! You don't even have to call me if you don't want too! I have a website that you can browse through the products, place an order, and even have your order shipped to you! (Plus, any order over $30.00 gets FREE SHIPPING!) Please take a look if you have a chance! There are some great stocking stuffers available right now!

Many prayers answered!

So many prayers have been answered today! Chris was offered and accepted a job at a local bank here in Norman! It has been three and a half months since he was laid off, and has looked and applied to many jobs, but finally today, he was hired!!! Times have been so tough financially just living on my income alone. Money had gotten so tight that we were literally to the point where we were going to both go donate our plasma to make some extra money. I was beyond happy when Chris called me this afternoon and told me the good news! I just wanted to thank everyone for the continued prayers on our behalf! God is good! :)

Chris' happy dance about getting a job!

Totaled...

Last Wednesday was not a good day for the Lee Family. Chris and Jayden were involved in a car accident. Luckily, no one was injured. The car however, was another story. Unfortunately, the accident was Chris' fault, but thank goodness we have good insurance. We found out today that they have totaled the car. Definitely not the news we wanted to hear! We have no car payments right now which is such a blessing, but there's a good chance we are going to have to take one on. This is going to make it very difficult on us financially, as Chris is still unemployed, and even when he does get a job, he cannot work a lot of hours because of school. Please pray for our situation right now. Times were already tough financially, and they just got a whole lot tougher! I'm sorry for the downer of a post, but this is what is going on in our life right now, and this is Life with the Lees!
