Eschlatt posted a blog postDays 22, 23, 24
Whoa, am wayyyy behind in giving and recording, but luckily I had a few items in my back pocket!Day 22: helped my daughter clean out her old books. Gave them to a friend who works for a book "bank" to distribute to families in need of donated books.Day 23: to make a long story short, located a person who is due some money from a previous employer, via retirement funds that she never claimed when she quit. I think she's owed over $600, but I told her it was at least $200 b/c I didn't want her to…See More
Eschlatt posted a blog postDay 21: $$ and food donated to local SPCA
Had some leftover canned cat food from my kitty who passed away back in January. So my daughter & I went to the SPCA and gave it to them along w/ a donation. Then we hung out, petting the cats, giving treats to the dogs, etc. We adopted two strays earlier this year so we're tapped out for taking in more animals. But it was a fun way to spend an hour!

Eschlatt posted a blog postDay 18: Gave daughter $$ to put in the offering plate at xmas eve service.
And let me say we NEVER go to church! But she wanted to hear Christmas carols and we were game so we went to a nearby church. It was nice :)
"Good for you!"

Day 20 over-tipped diner waitress

Which is not a big give, let's face it. But she was working hard like everyone at the diner so I tipped almost 30%. Which wasn't much. But hopefully it brings in more tips for her at the end of the shift.
Day 19: gave 7 yr old daughter my full attention
Posted on December 27, 2009 at 1:48pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
This can be hard for me at times b/c it tests my patience and forces me to chill out. I mean, I always give her attention, but on Christmas Day I really tried to be in the moment with her so she could enjoy her toys, games, books, etc. She's an only child w/ no kids to play with this holiday so I really tried to not be thinking about something else when we were playing together. It was hard at first but also fun and I love spending time with her.
