What a find!

Well, as I,m sure you all know I am the Craigslist queen! We were looking for American girl clothes for Beth's dolls, and we came a cross a lady selling all of this for 57 bucks. Between gas and, well bills I thought It would not be wise to drive 40 miles to spend money we could put to a better use. I figured I would email the Lady and see if she would make make me a deal on all of it. She called me back and said the prices were firm, so I called David and told him about it. As soon as I hung up, the phone rang. A friend from church had day care issue, the lady she had lined up to keep her two kids could not keep them. She was already supposed to be at work and was desperate. I can clearly remember the panic when you know you are supposed to be at work and you have no place you trust to leave your kids. So I told her to come on over and drop them. She has one that is 3 and one that is 8 weeks, the baby slept most of the day and Caitlyn played with Raquel until they both passed out for a three hour nap! YAY! And of course Beth was ecstatic when she got home from school! It was a good day! When she game to get the girls she gave me some money which I was not expecting. David came home with a car that had to be test driven for about 80 miles, so it was all in the bag. We got everything for $35 and did not have to pay the gas to get there, plus we had a good time going to another part of the city! Now we have Birthday, and Christmas for Caity, and if we get her the doll to play with it, probably next years bday as well! I love Craigslist! I love the way our Heavenly Father takes care of us providing what we need and even some of the stuff we want!
