The past month and a
half has been absolutely crazy. During this time hubby has had yet another
surgery. This past surgery was to correct the last surgery that was labeled as
a fail. We pray this is his last. This being his first surgery as a civilian we
have had some realization. First, when his surgeries were done in the military
we did not need to worry about loss of pay. Second, we did not need to think
about co-pays and such. Now as a civilian reality hits. We knew we were blessed
in the military. We knew that and were thankful for the medical coverage. This
last surgery the doctors are keeping him out of work for two weeks. A whole pay period.
Thankfully we had some
money set aside. Hubby picked up a few extra shifts at his second job, which
helps us until the next pay period. Also, hubby used two days leave at his
regular job, which will be on the next pay period. Thank goodness otherwise we
would not have a paycheck for the month of May!
If God can care for the birds, He surely cares
for His children.
God is taking care of
us. We have no stress about the lack of funds coming in for this month. Good
thing we know how to live frugally. One area that truly helps save money is
menu planning. I have slacked in this area for many months. I prepared my menu
for this week and I believe the rest of the family is happy. The blessings like
to see what is for each meal and of course they like to see if there are any “eating
out” meals planned for the week.
