Having a day.
Or a series of them.Between the engine light going on Friday, the boy working all day Saturday, and the new and improved super tight budget kicking in today (well, yesterday), it has not been my weekend.
It was not made better by our first diaper blowout in ages.
By the standards of blowouts, it was pretty impressive. I had to change the girl, the bed, the changing table cover... pretty much everything but my own clothing. Good thing it was bath day.
A quick check with the tape measure reveals that yes, baby does in fact need a new pair of shoes. Her Robeez are almost too small. A new pair would be a large percentage of the weekly household budget. I haven't had any luck finding them at consignment, so I hope she can hold off on outgrowing them completely for a few more weeks.
Right now, I'm trying to decide what's bothering me the most about the money situation: the lack of money for baby shoes or the fact that we've decided we can't afford to replace the deck, so there's going to be a sliding glass door leading to nowhere in the back of my house for the foreseeable future.
Can I just skip ahead to the part where I look back at this and laugh?

What size Robeez do you need? I have 6 month monkeys, 12 month lions and 18 month tulips and would gladly send whichever is relevant if you promise to send them back when I have another kid. Email me.
