This Friday I got to go to our company dinner with my wife. It was a difficult thing for us to do for lots of reasons. I was afraid to go because we didn't have any money and because of what unexpected expenses we might encounter. I had to ask my mom for money and all she had ws $7.00. But, the only expense was parking. The party was at the nicest steakhouse in the city in the heart of downtown across from city hall. It was difficult also for me to endure partying with people with more lucrative and worldy lives, But I had to look at what an opportunity this is for us to be able to have a time like this at a place like that.

Saturday morning we got up early and I remembered to watch religious programming for the kids.

Saturday morning we went and took our family portrait. I was afraid because we didn't ahve any money and I was afraid of unexpected expenses. The studio was running 30 minutes behind and my wife complained to the staff. It was difficult for me to endure but I had to let it go. Or portrait turned out really beautiful. Everything worked out monetarily.

In the evening my wife had to work. I was resentful that she was away another evening.

I didn't get to write inventory 2 nights in a row and I almost didn't get to do so again tonight.

This morning we woke up early and I remembered not to make a sugary breakfast and I had time to get teh kids well fed and wide awake for teh early mass. However, we still very had a difficult time in mass with the 2 middle kids. I did well not to get angry and not let it get me down. It simply strengthened my resolve to teach train them daily to sit in church.

This afternoon we had a birthday party for my son's friend. I was afraid because we didn't have much money. I did have a few dollars thanks to my wife working last night and I only had to spen a dollar or two.

We had a good day the rest of the afternoon.
