Late Night with CyniSister

Sorry about the late post. We had physicals and immunizations today. Then the kids decided to have a lying contest which led us to four hours worth of housework. Sorry world.

Days like this make me nervous. We are entering a new phase of family life. I welcome most of the changes but where I get anxious is with the money. I have suddenly noticed an increase in food consumption by the kids. Our grocery bill is climbing slowly. The little rug rats also really like Tennis. This could mean a need for rackets and I am already in need of some ballet slippers and tap shoes, tights and leotard... not to mention an elegant tule skirt because what type of mom would I be if I didn't at least let her dance in elegance?

I'm not complaining. Don't misunderstand. I love these changes; the excitement they show for learning a new sport, the enthusiasm at getting dolled up and hanging out with other tiny dancers, buying shoes, having hobbies, staying busy, building personality on top of personality, developing likes and dislikes. I just worry about affording it all. But... worrying doesn't help, so I suppose I'll stop.
