Reverse Psychology


School is about back in session. Rachel and I decided to go do some shopping tonight.

Yeesh.

She tried on tons of stuff and dang me if she didn't look cute and way to grown up for my liking. I was actually going to buy the stuff to the tune of about $200 smackers for like 3 outfits. (3 pairs of nice popular jeans will set you back about $100 on their own and none of this included shoes.) But, the store we were shopping at, didn't have layaway anymore. Figures. She was bummed, cause by the time I can get all this for her we risk it being gone. But, such is the way of a single parent income. I did get her the really cool Messenger Bag (packbacks are out of style didn't you know?) that she has been drooling over and one new top.

I am lucky to have a daughter that is really thankful for whatever I can get her. She doesn't whine, she doesn't cry and doesn't get angry when I have to say "Not right now honey." I think I feel worse than her, actually.

Ahh the perils of the single income. But tis great when the kids actually are still grateful.

I like your new template too.
