is it worth it?

driving home today at 6:45, after picking up Andrew from Michelles, 10 hrs after I dropped him off, I wondered if this new job is worth it.
But really what are my options? I'm a single mom with a mortgage and car payments, if I don't work full time, we don't eat.
~sigh~
I realize moms do this all the time, but that doesn't make it any better. Michelle spends more time with Andrew than I do. Thank God for Michelle. But I wish it was me.
I'm thankful I have a job, and a home and a reliable car....but I sure miss my kid.

my mother loves me....

I took a sick day today. You know those days when your body feels like it's been hit by a truck?? I'm having one of those.

My mom brought me shortbread to make me feel better.

Maybe it's not so bad living around the corner from mom!

I took Andrew to Superstore today to buy groceries..I took a little sidetrip through the Christmas aisle.
I must have said something to the effect of "we better get out of here before we get into trouble..." because while looking at candles and debating whether or not I needed them, a small voice informed me we had better not get them because we will get into trouble.
I just had to inquire "in trouble with who?"
"Trouble because we won't have money"
I then got a lecture from my 5 yr old on how I really didn't need the candles and therefor I shouldn't buy them.

He left me a loophole though........
He stated at the end of his rant that they weren't on the list, leaving me to conclude that so long as I put frivilous things on the shopping list, I am free to buy them.
Makes sense to me.

cut my hair.
almost 8 inches...gone.
Feels so good!
