If I have to buy these...
we only have these...
But if no one needs shoes, clothes, or a visit to the dentist, then we have this
and this
and this.
(**NOTE: This is a good grocery month. The kids are very excited about the snack offerings currently available in the kitchen.)
Sometimes I read blogs and think...WOW. I must be living in an alternate universe.
But, I just did my taxes. One of the perks of being "Head of the Household" is that tax time is actually fun! I always end up with a nice surprise at the end. The grown up who lives in my head thinks it should probably go towards paying off my student loan.
The rest of me thinks it should do what it always does and spend it on this:
Trips with mom months are ever bit as wonderful as good grocery months. Don't you think?
I like trips. The thing that I don't like is how much money goes on them, but well... some trips are very worth it;)

Trips are the best - especially to the beach (with a picnic hamper!). If you had a life full of everything you all desired the whole time - you wouldn't appreciate (or even notice) the good times, treats or simple pleasures! Now that would be sad!
ReplyDeleteAngie, SO TRUE!!
ReplyDeleteI was a single mom for almost 20 years and I sure do understand about the compromises! One thing I really regret was being practical with any "extra" money that came along. I should have taken the kids on a trip or two - in the long run they're much more valuable (and much more fun!0
