Sunday was church and dinner with my family.
Monday was swimming and birthday dinner with Spencer's family.
Sawyer is pretty content to spend the rest of the summer in the pool [and so am I!]
I was up most of the night, just thinking. That's the worst. When you want to sleep but your mind is acting like it just drank a redbull.
With the changes that we've had to our job situation [going from 3 incomes to 1] I have been trying to figure some ways we can cut costs in our household. So I spent the better part of the morning, from 4 am to 6 am, laying awake calculating how much the meals I cook cost to make, deciding which groceries can be eliminated from the weekly shopping trips, and what is most cost effective in our family "menu".
And then I reviewed the overall budget, and tried to see where we can reduce our spending.
Looks like if we only eat meals that cost less than $10 total, have no doctors appointments, no birthdays to buy for, and get rid of our pest control guy, we'll break even?
Sawyer is happy and laughing in his jumper, and rather than dwell on the financial depravity of the world, I am going to go hang with him. All we can do is try better tomorrow, right?

Life is so stressful, even without money problems. I HATE it when you can't shut your brain off in the middle of the night. That happens all too ofetn to me. Not so much lately, having a newborn and not getting enough sleep, I can fall asleep really fast. I hope that all goes well for you family. We are trying to figure out for ourselves what the future holds for us. Steve is done with residency in July, and the job we thought he had isn't going to work out. Now for the job hunt. I hate this.
