Bored and Broke
I guess those two could kind of go hand in hand.
It has been a tough month or two since I have been on maternity income wise. Since I am only part time, I don't get paid for maternity leave. I know my hubby is so sick of hearing how broke we are that he probably wants to put a muzzle on me. I think it is hard to hear you don't have money for things when you are accustomed to being able to be more lenient. Granted, it isn't like I bring home tons of cash, but I have come to realize that I definitely bring home enough to make our living comfortable. We are using our tax returns to live off of while I am on maternity leave, and it is slowly dwindling away. The money I allotted us to get through 12 weeks, has only gotten us through about 8. It's not like we don't have any extra cash in our savings. But, I hate to use that up. We will have to dig into some of it though. So, I am going to try to be extra cautious on the money we spend in the upcoming weeks. Even more so than I have been. No more new shoes for Alyssa...LOL.
So, that brings me to bored. I am so bored today. It is a beautiful day and Alyssa and I spent some of it outside playing, but now she is down for a nap. I am so thankful for my two babies, but I dread going anywhere with the both of them by myself. So, I am sitting here thinking that I could go somewhere, but that would require LOTS of work packing everyone up. I like having plans and right now I have none. Maybe when Alyssa wakes up we can go for a walk. I'd like to go to the park, but I am nervous going to the park with both of them by myself.
I should get some more laundry done, but I don't feel like doing that either. I can't believe how blah I am feeling on such a beautiful day here. I hate that feeling.
And now I don't even know what else to type about. So I will stop typing...LOL.

I hate when that happens to me. My most bored days are Sundays. After Church, there is just absolutely nothing for me to do. I guess I can do housework or yard work, but I am just too lazy!
When I was on maternity leave, we had to depend on our credit cards to get through. We did not save anything. We planned on it, but Alexa decided to come six weeks early. Our tax returns all went to paying off the credit cards. I know it can be difficult, but hang in there =)
I get bored a lot too, even with cleaning and laundry. I already did my quota of that for the day and I'm still bored. Sick of TV and it's crappy outside.
We were the same way while I was on maternity leave. Tax money is what helped, but, thankfully, it only lasted 6 weeks, as much as I'd have liked it to belonger.
Hang in there! It'll get better!!
