I am so ADD. Can't focus on anything. Maybe there are too many things to focus on. So maybe it helps to throw my thoughts out there into cyberspace. At least they are out of my brain. This blogging thing is therapeutic.
Stressing a bit about the budget thing. We were doing OK. Then the moving thing happened. We spent a bunch of money on "stuff" to get the house ready for the market. We are spending outside our budget to eat without messing up the house (in other words, takeout). Then there's all the things we'll need when we move. I am throwing out all my dishcloths... they're nasty, it's time to go. Have tons of great Pampered Chef dishtowels, but the dish cloths have to go. Need a rug for the girls' new playroom (cement floor). The one I want is $249 at IKEA. I don't think that's in the budget. Then there's the moving truck. Those aren't cheap. Neither is the diesel they run on. Ashtyn needs more flushable inserts. Diapers are never cheap. And she could use a few more little g pants. I love the new striped ones, but they are even more expensive than the solids. :( We want a couple of pink ones and a couple of the dark blue ones. We aren't really putting her in shorts this summer, just t-shirts and little g's. So if we have multiples of a color, we should be able to get through most of the day matching her tops to her bottoms.
Don't get me started on my clothing situation! Nursing bras -- ugh! If you've been there, you might understand. They drive me crazy! And what is with the sizes on women's clothing?! It's not like I have time to try things on. It would be nice to count on being a medium, or whatever, but no, mostly I'm a medium, but sometimes I'm a large, and most recently I needed a small shirt. Who would have thought?!
All of this is very scary when combined with the unemployment factor on the other end of this move. Well, Ryan will be working. But working without pay is a bit stinky. Gotta' have faith. God will provide. He has been so far. He was, He is, He is to come.
