I've been so busy all weekend, going everywhere and doing everything....seems like I haven't had a second for anything. I haven't been to the gym since Friday and the wind has been crazy so no bike rides. Mt food choices haven't been that great either so I just can't WAIT to get on that scale for PAWS tomorrow......

I went clothes shopping for the children today......only for four children, mainly the two middle boys and just socks for two of my girls.....but damn it cost me $700. Everything I bought was on sale plus I had a card for 20% of everything I purchased...still I can't believe that was the bottom line. The DH was with me, and I hate clothes shopping with him because he second guesses me on everything and I feel like if it was up to him the children would get down to A sock and one pair of underwear before he'd buy clothes for them.

I still have to buy snow boots for everybody and he's giving me grief about it. Regular tennis shoes are just not gonna work for that. He doesn't get it that the kids grow and they are VERY hard on clothes. Very few things get passed down.....I know it sucks, but that is just the way it is. I still have other kids to buy for and I dread bringing it up. I always feel like I am begging money for myself when I have to do this. It's very stressful for him, I understand that, I really do but the children still need clothes.........
