H and I "Paid it Forward"...

[bornbaker]

MIL lost her job about a month ago (her boss is a bitch who's ruined several school districts and some how manages to weasel her way out of responsibility. Seriously, this chick has no morals).

Anyway...

Her laptop was property of her employer so she had to give it back. She had an old desk top computer, but it took her eons to complete anything on it, like a resume. 

So, on Monday - on a whim - H and I went to Best Buy and bought her a laptop! Nothing fancy. Inexpensive. Enough so she can use Microsoft Office and play Candy Crush. We bought a mushy Thank You card, too. Might have made her cry! 

She does a lot for us, watches Em for free. This was the least we could do! 

We then found out that FIL can't participate in his family bowling league this year. Apparently FILs family is putting up a big stink. H and were about to pay for it when we found out it was $140 a month! That, and we figure we didn't want to get involved in the drama. So our pay-it-forward had to end.

Aww, that's sweet! Good for you guys!
