I just wanted to say thanks for all the nice things you all are saying and offering, I should've thought before I wrote. in the OP. Not that I'm thinking to clear at this minute either..lol. But, I'll try..lol
I would never come on here and ask for free stuff..I really just enjoy the board..and I'm a crying baby myself since having Isabella..I was just venting a little bit. All of your offers are so generous and caring..*which is one of the reasons why I enjoy this board so much*.
Its just nice to talk to adults..(if even through a computer), then kids alll day. With so many sick here, it just adds to the stress. Oh..and I feel I should clarify the gas being shut off and buying a water heater instead of paying the bill *because I'm sure some are wondering why not just pay the dumb bill*
We was on the budget plan..at 170.00 a month..and since its shut off..and we went over the budget amount this past winter...the entire bill has got to be paid b4 they'll turn it bk on..1,170.00. CRAZY..i know! Thats why we opted to get a electric hot water heater..and pay the bill off over the summer...since the only other thing that runs on gas here is the heat..and the weather is getting nicer now..(or seems to be)..so we can pay off the bill little by little over the summer.
Anyway, it was just nice to vent a bit...which is what I did..but thanks for listening. We'll get by ..we just hit a rough spot. Its just so nice of you all to offer though..and is very much appreciated!! But I can't take your things..because my other post wasnt for that reason, I just wanted to let her know why I couldn't get her diapers at this time..and I kinda wondered off onto other things. take care, and thanks mamas..Jodi

oh hon I TOTALLY know you weren't asking for free stuff. And if you LMK your address, I'd love to gift you some things because I need to get them off of my hands anyways. NO STRINGS ATTACHED - if you go buy a porsche tomorrow I won't think twice ;)

So seriously, please email me your address? hlathein1@tds.net

Hugs mama! :)

Jodi

No one thought you were asking for hand outs. Seriously, we would love to help you cloth your kiddos for summer. Plus I know some of us have some fabric I *know* we could spare or even some hand me down summer clothes for the kiddos. We aren't talking money out of the pocket, just maybe lightening the stash load a bit ;)

So what fabrics ya looking for!!!!

Jodi-the mamas like you and want to do something nice. Let them-ok?! :happy:

We know you weren't looking for free stuff. It sounds like you've got a lot to deal with right now on top of just giving birth a few weeks ago. Just let us know what you need.

Youre a mama with kids in need. Its no different than if it were anyone else on the board - we reach out to help just about anyone :heart:

Jodi we know you didn't ask we are just offering to send a nice mama something nice to make her feel better. I have enjoyed getting to know you and would like to brighten a day or two of yours since you are such a nice person:)

surely you don't want to block someone from doing a mitzvah, jodi.

Hopefully, you'll accept some help where it can be given. God knows I don't have $1700 to help with the heat, lol, but if people have clothes not going to any use and want to do something nice.....really...let people help. I have several totes of boys clothing that I'm either going to donate to a thrift shop or give to people who want it. Why not you?

I agree... We all need to vent, and of course you do too, and that really helps! But if we have stuff that we would donate to help someone anyhow, why not just send it to you? I'd love your e-mail and address, too... Please?

You have your hands full!!! What a strong lady and venting with friends is so much better than feeling as if you are all alone in this world. BTW you know as well as I do that is feels good to help someone,,,,everything always comes back to you in goodwill. I have some clothes that I am going through and was honestly just going to give them to goodwill so if you post your sizes it would make me feel good to send them to you. :) email onecraftymama@cox.net I *think* I have a couple of wraps left too is ya want em.

hey, I have stuff that I am sending because I was going to give to to Goodwill, but I'd rather give it to someone I "know" and someone that will use it (ie cloth diapers donated at Goodwill would most likely just be tossed).

Let us do some acts of service and kindness to a fellow mama so you can use your money to pay your bill.....

PS besides us mom of twins have to stick together.;)

Jodi-I can't remember reading your first post, but lmk what you are in need of for diapers ok? I think I still have some smaller stuff floating around
