Angels are in the heavens, I am sure, because there are deeds done by mortals that are difficult to explain by the mortal nature of man.

 Ah people say that bad things come in threes...and I've had mine!  After the cat incident...(and Kas I will definitely try the food and the newspaper instead of litter, he already drinks tons of water, thanks!), I made a huge error in not keeping up with my payments with the State of Illinois for my back taxes, the beauty of owning your own busines is that you get top pay taxes on your own.  So right now we are still getting caught up from the years past.  So they notify my back and freeze my account, but I guess I didn't read the paperwork right and it was only for one day, but I freaked out just the same, afterall we have my stepson wedding on the 23rd!...anywhooo Mark talked to the bank and we redid our leftover truck loan (which we finally got rid of that semi that has sat in our driveway for 1 whole year!), so problem solve, then I go downstairs in the basement to check on my laundry and my water heater is leaking all over the place.  Luckily my basement is an old one and the water didn't hurt anything...ok now that's BIG # 3.  Thank God I am working a summer route, thank God Mark's working a lot and THANK GOD there is only the 3 of us still here.  I never realized how much extra energy more people use until my boys moved out.  My electric bill is now $29.00 from 50, my water, sewer and garbage is now $80.00/every 2 months and it was $120.00.  WOW! WOW ! WOW !  I love my boys, but yee haa!  I love getting caught up on bills too.  Plus I am figuring with a new water heater my Natural gas bill will finally go down, that bill is ugly because Northern Illinois gas company thinks nothing of raising the rates in the dead of a harsh below zero winter...plus my kid works at Menard's and they sell Water heaters and the kid gets a discound!  So somebody up there is really watching me and mine....Hope you all have a lovely weekend....we are going to finally spend some time at our trailer.  Liz comes home Sunday from her mission trip and she tells me she had some sort of spiritual awakening.  My husbnd says it's because she been set free with her boyfriend, with no mean father to give her rules.  But I am hoping it's something along the lines of Godlike or at least "let's start helping others...instead of sitting online counseling my stupid, ungrateful, teenage friends."  Oh well such is the life of a teenager...love you guys!
