Seriously, I think I’m really back now
I don’t know if it is the change in the weather, or if I just have bad luck, but last week was tough to get through! I was just so tired, and managed to do the bare minimum to get by. That’s not really like me…
It’s time to get back on track. I’ve been doing some serious bargain hunting – I managed to find some great deals online at The Children’s Place, and got the kid a winter jacket and 5 shirts (I even splurged and got him a flannel for holiday pictures!) for $30 with shipping. He outgrew almost everything from last year, and many of the second-hand shops in the area didn’t have anything for his size.
We’ve done a pretty good job tackling the potty training – we are down to a pull-up for nap time, and a nighttime diaper. That’s some money saved! Also, the kid will be 3 in January, so I’m pretty comfortable with the timetable that we are currently on.
I am still working a lot. I am going to tutor as much as possible before the holidays to try to pay off some debt. We’ll see how that works, since we are going on a trip to Arizona in November!
Other than that, I have learned how to knit. I’m making a scarf for the kid right now. I made him a “bunny” – it might pass for road kill, so I decided to take it down a notch to something more simple.
That’s all for now! I promise to get back on the train this week. Take it easy!
