Four Year College Will Cost More Than my HOUSE!




             My Daughter came home the other day and had an envelope in her hand. It seems that she qualifies to be in the National Honors society. Needless to say Her Dad and I are thrilled.


She also had in her possession a booklet of all the colleges that will be represented on College night at her school really soon.


I flipped through the book and this is what I saw under Tuition and room and board for the 
2014-15 year 

   
Tuition & Fees (all students):$40,670
Room & Board (freshmen)*:$14,490
TOTAL:$55,160
                             
                         $55,160     FOR ONE YEAR! 


What The Frig!!! This is not even an Ivy league school!....ok, now I have to check the tuition of other Schools...I'll be right back.

Talk amongst yourselves...

                     
  Here's a topic...The Partridge Family was neither Partridges or a family...discuss.


Ok, I'm back.


Yale---60,900

Harvard---60,000

Crash




           Well Hello out there in Blogger world....How the heck have you been? I have missed being here so much. Now....last time I wrote about my hubby's car dying and how it cost us a pretty penny to get it fixed. I felt a giant sigh of relief when we finally picked the car up.



well, that feeling lasted about two weeks....




           because look what happened.....
         
                                                         
 
Yup,...I was involved in a car accident. I was traveling north and a young lady driving a caravan was traveling south when (for whatever reason) she wasn't going to yield to traffic going in the opposite direction and she tried to make a quick left. Maybe it was lack of experience...I don't know...all I know is that I tried to avoid her and boom...
 
 
I am grateful.
 
 
Why?
 
 
Because no one was hurt. My daughter was in the car with me. and you know what?
 
even though the airbags deployed, our faces never hit them. Our seatbelts were enough to stop us.
 
My friend said that maybe God put me there at that very moment because he knew another driver might have driven faster and therefore someone might have been hurt...or worse.
 
 
So...ok my car is totaled. They can't repair it. The young lady's car has a nice big dent.
 
Most importantly...
 
 my daughter, the young lady and I left without a scratch on us.
 
Thank You God!

There's a Storm A'brewing

Wow...it's soooo true...."when it rains, it pours " We are really short on cash....so of course the computer dies (I'm currently typing on my little kindle) and it's going to cost 250.00 to fix it. I Then get a call from my husband and he tells me his car broke down and its going to cost 400.00 to get it towed....FOUR STINKIN' HUNDRED DOLLARS!!!!! Now, with the added cost of whatever the heck is wrong with it I say we are in for at least a thousand this week. With a maxed out credict card and no money in the bank My husband took it in stride...he puts it all in Gods hands and onward we go. So hows your week going so far? Please...I need some good news! :o)
