Mo Money Mo Problems

We got our tax return.

It is being divided up into savings, paying off our debt, and with what little bit is left over Devin and I get to each have a small sum to do with whatever we want. My small sum is stressing me out.

I know this sounds crazy, but I really don't like having money. Well, just extra money I guess. When we have enough to pay our bills with not much left over, I don't have to worry about what to do with the rest. But now that I have some monetary freedom, my mind is going at a thousand miles per hour!

There are things I definitely need that I have been putting off buying, like new contacts, for example. I have been wanting a double stroller for a while, and a new camera would definitely be nice since ours is slowly dying. One thing I definitely need is some help for my wardrobe. Losing this baby weight is great, but now I have a condition known as "baggy britches."No, those are not men's shorts even though they look like it. No, that is not sweat on my back. I dried my hands on my shirt after washing them for the millionth time to keep from getting pink eye. Yes, I self-timed this picture of myself.

I am also thinking a lot lately about food storage. A lot. It is weighing on my mind and I know it is a priority. Mollie also needs new clothes because she is almost outgrowing her 9 month pajamas (she is 7 months old tomorrow). Sam needs new shoes and summer clothes.

Do you see why this is a hard decision for me?!

What would you buy?




On another note, my Maw-Maw and Paw-Paw left today. I miss them.

Lots to think about! You're a wonderful mother to think about spending YOUR special money on new clothes for the kids or food storage. Sacrifice brings forth blessings. Still, remember to take care of yourself too! xoxo

You never cease to make me laugh with your posts! How great you look-even from the back with baggy britches and 'sweaty' shirt! I miss you guys! Contacts-1st priority! Something wonderfully fun for you-2second priority. That's just my lowly opinion!
