Well Saria comes home from school today with an envelope containing a form for free/low cost healthcare from her school's learning specialist. I was just gazing over it, and noticed that in a family of five, the max income for a month is 5080 dollars, and I just started giggling!! That's insane!! Brad has a really good paying job, and I even factored in his reserve pay, and TOPS total is about 4.5 k a month if that! Of course, I was basing THAT on if he's got serious overtime, so it appears as though we will have healthcare for the kids very soon! Then his insurance only has to worry about him and me.. I literally am still baffled over how we can afford our bills/rent sometimes, but we always have money left over for food etc, (I KNOW it's from paying tithing!!) I dunno, just wanted to share my news, I think it's good! OHHHH
This morning I woke Saria up with a kiss, I had the cd of the children's songbook (one about choosing the right etc) playing in the computer closest to the dinner table and I TALKED to Saria as she got dressed and ready for school and she seemed to be in a different and totally happy mood, which is usually NOT what happens in the morning with Saria, and she comes home today and she tells me she had a GOOD day, so maybe these positive influences and little acts of love to her will help her overcome the problems she's having. I KNOW there's something deeper with Saria that's wrong, I just have to figure out what that is so I can help her with it. But for now, I think that her having the music playing softly, and her and I having a nice mom to daughter chat each morning will help with her anger problem at school at least. I'll keep posting updates of course!

Yes, I think the one-on-one time is good for her. Daddy/daughter time is also very important. So, next time Brad has to run to the store or something, he should see if just Saria wants to go with him. I'm glad little changes have been rewarded with good outcomes :). I love you guys! And yes -- so many blessings come from paying tithing. Never forget that testimony you've gained... even in the hard times.
we do that, they take turns going with brad to the store, last time samuel and ben went, the time before that saria went. :B
Well, then just tell Brad to stop being a dork. Tell him he should be cool like his cool-as-ever and always sister (and that would be me, of course ;)).
great news! i forget how expensive healthcare is...
