My UFO (unbelievably fabulous observations)

[hoosiermama]

Thanks, K. The trip is ~$800, which includes hotels, bus, meals, entertainment, a big sailboat trip on Lake Michigan...the bad part, however, is that I still owe ~$500 choir tuition for the year. Last year xH covered it all, and never told me that he intended to cover none of it this year or I'd have applied for a scholarship. And tuition must be current before they can tour.

I wish I could charge some of it--but I have no credit. The divorce and subsequent financial problems completely wiped out 30+ years of excellent credit. So I don't have that as a safety net. I have tried to brainstorm all the ways I know how, and I just can't find a way, especially with the new job paying monthly--so I have no paycheck in May at all. I'll be fine in June--but it's too late. xH is going to contact the choir financial person (wow--just a little bit late there, hun?) to see if he can work something out. I think he believed I was holding out and may now really get it that I'm this strapped, so he may tap his resources. Keeping my fingers crossed and tossing prayers to St. Jude!

Aside from that, yes--lots of growth in a year in spite of the adversity. I don't know that I'm proud of myself as much as I'm grateful for the grace to work through all I had to work thru and come out with positives. Thanks.
