Ahhh fooey

So when the kids and I haven't been playing outside these past couple of weeks we've been spending our time shopping. Well, all that just came to a screeching hault. The GMC insurance, county taxes, and credit card bill (which had the stroller on it and that we pay off in full every month) are all due at the same time. OUCH! So today the kids and I went returning.  The hardest things to return were the clothes for the kids that I just got from The Children's Place.  Their "picture perfect" line and other lines in the girls' section are SO cute. Being responsible sucks sometimes. I also have some clothes for next summer that I got from Gymboree for AWESOME deals that I should return but am trying to talk myself into keeping.

I also realized that paying off my Kohls charge at the time of purchase has backfired.  Now I have money sitting in that account and I have to wait for the statement to come so I can call and ask for a check to be sent so it doesn't sit on there. I also purchased things with Kohls cash and the only way not to lose that was to get store credit.  Jared and I talked about that last night (because I had figured that would be the case) and we agreed that store credit would be fine and we would save it until we needed something.

Now I need to figure out what to do this weekend so I don't spend money but yet we have fun.  I see a grandparent's house in our future!  The downfall to that is that the kids sleep like crap, so I do too. I like that they get to visit and have quality time, but I like sleep. Yes, I'm being selfish, but I can't be a good mom if I'm walking around like a zombie.  Maybe I could convince myself to take pictures of the kids for our house.  I take all these pics, but I never print any off because I don't like them.

Anywho, the moral of my post: "being responsible sucks". The End.
