HOLY COW, yesterday was challenging. Saturday is shopping day! Right? Didn't everyone else grow up doing chores saturday morning and then shopping saturday afternoon? that was a tradition i remember from my childhood. one that i have subconsciously carried with me into adulthood. i did survive the day without spending but i won't deny the angst i suffered. and then....last night, quincy was playing at the neighbors and somehow the ping pong table fell onto her head creating a pretty deep gash. i wasn't convinved the gash warranted a trip to the e.r. OR stitches so our kind doctor friend came over to assess the wound. 30 minutes later reece, quincy and i hopped into the gas guzzling SUV, e.r. bound. I hate the e.r. for so many reasons- i won't even waste my time going into it. Needless to say the injury occurred at approx 7:30. We arrived at the e.r at approx 8:30. we left the e.r (4 staples and i'm sure a $1200 bill later)at exactly 11:00 p.m. RIDICULOUS!!!!!! On the way out the doc asked if the kids wanted a Popsicle. i said no thanks i don't feel like being charged $10 for a Popsicle. she giggled and said, " oh we don't charge for them". AND then you know what they did????? they split ONE in half for Reece and Quincy to share. P.L.E.A.S.E.
Day 9 -i didn't spend any cash on wants but no avoiding the e.r. bill that will show up in a few weeks.
Day 10- spent nothing! YEAH for keeping the Sabbath day holy and not shopping!
