So I’ve been taking my iron pills and been feeling a bit better, yay.
Still stressed about money, but managed to sell a few things, and even returned my daughters carseat (it was recalled)…and bought 2 similar carseats, with only a $25 difference. We were needing to buy a new second one for Annabelle, so that has saved us pretty much $100, yay!
I’m going to tell Ali that Christmas for us is a no go. I’ve bought a few things for the girls, and have yet to buy a couple more….but that will be it too. No Thanksgiving this year, no birthday party for Ella. We are tightening the belts!!
Then baby will come and we’ll be spending time at home. Hopefully Ella will go into morning Kindergarten sometime in the first 3 months of next year. That will mean 20 hours per week where I only have my 2 babies. Awesome. Ella loves it too, and it’s really helping her learn, so can’t complain.
Seriously tempted at the moment to get my NZ citizenship next year, and then move to Oz. Jobs just don’t pay well here, the dollar is crap, and cost of living is ridiculous! Australia might be nice. Maybe Brisbane or Sydney. Just get an apartment and save up money. Hmm…
I’m glad your feeling better! And yay for saving money!

How about you do something for each other instead of buy something? Or make something? Christmas is just so commercial and it really doesn’t need to be that way. Glad the selling stuff is starting to work out and the car seats deal sounds great! Could be an idea with Oz. I know a few people who have done that, including some in RPM’s family. Happy to help with info you need re that if you

continue to consider it. RYN: I find the idea of sharing it with the world revolting. If it were the inside of my elbow noone would be interested and you wouldn’t think of sharing it. But cause it’s a baby (which looks the same as any other in that state) it’s ok. I don’t know, I know I’m a bit weird about it, but I just think it’s really personal.
