Well, I still have a migraine, but this news has made it seem like an afterthought! Some of you may know that I am crazy out of my mind these days and in need of a SERIOUS vacation. What you don't know is that, in my heart of hearts, I have been dreaming of joining
this wonderful lady on a RAD mom's retreat for several months now. I've been trying to figure out ways to raise the money to pay for the room, board, travel, and extras (like adult beverages and massages) for weeks and it just wasn't happening! Today she put out the word that if we were even
THINKING about going to drop her a line, so I did. I told her I was planning to come, just trying to figure out how.
AND SHE OFFERED ME A SCHOLARSHIP FOR THE ROOM!!!
This woman who doesn't know me, and many other beautiful women who donated to the scholarship fund, are making it possible for this little momma to have a room in Orlando with other moms who get it! God has blessed me truly and richly this day through these women!
Now, this being said, I still have to get there, pay for my food and travel while there, and maybe, just maybe come up with some money for
boozing enjoying some adult beverages and possibly a much needed massage. But I have a room to stay in, even if I have to
walk hitchhike to get there. All in all not such a bad deal... I may be able to swing it. I have a goal now... approximately $350 for flights, $160 for board, and $100 for extras if I can swing it. $600 total, it is a BIG number... but I'm going to try! Momma needs a vacation!
what a wonderful blessing and Oh! My! Stars! You're hilarious.
