Just got home from work late. I had another parent teacher meeting. I feel so responsible for these children I am teaching. When one of them falls behind I can't sleep. Me+no sleep=grouchy! I started dinner-harping orders for kids to finish their chores and girls get ready for dance then Blake needed a little help looking up something online for his homework so I volunteered to look and I landed on the blog looking to see if any of my blogging buddies blogged today. I think it's an addiction!
I can not figure out how to put the online donation box on my blog. I wanted to begin with Christianne's advice and put a chip in button on my blog. I signed up and it charges 4.75 each time anyone makes a donation. Normally I wouldn't care to pay 4.75 for a service but in this case I need every 4.75 possible!
Did I say how much I am eating humble pie to do this whole fundraiser bit. I know people do it every day. Just today I donated to another's fund...but it still kills me. I am still researching though and trying to fight off this little pride bug on my shoulder.
Recently a new friend told me to journal all these feelings about adoption. I love that advice. Wow there are so many! I started a blessings notebook when we began. There have already been so many like a free trip to FL. that we just took and I need to blog about some time!!!
I have never been such a fruit loop. OH well maybe I have! I have really been having a battle with Satan! Today I am good to go and tomorrow none of it makes sense. YO-YO-head!!!!
Better get to helping Blake cause dinner is burning!

Girl, you crack me up!
I'm the same way about the $4.75 thing...what if someone only wanted to donate $5 every few weeks?
Maybe we could get fundraising ideas while coming up with ideas for the Y.W. fundraiser??? :)
We did a Pay*pal button. When you set it up for donations, it asks the person making the donation if they want to pay the usually very small fee...like cents. That way you receive it completely as a donation. I have never heard of being charged that much. That is crazy.
To get the button you just go to the merchant services tab at the top of your pay*pal acct. Then click on create a button, donate. It will give you the code to add to the html section of your blog.
Hope that helps.
Blessings,
Amy
