Well I feel totally up to date with what you’re doing because I stalk your facebook

I’m really glad to hear that the in-laws are helping out more. I know you need that, even if you feel guilty.

Keep your head up!

It is way easier to update your status on Facebook regularly over keeping up with a blog. I’ve been guilty of doing that lately, lol.

That’s nice that your in laws are being so helpful but hopefully they won’t hold it over your head later.

((hugs))

You are a glutton for punishment. Just consider the fact that both you and Billy will not be sleeping for the next 18 years!

But I bet the house if filled with lots of love though….

Sounds like you’re doing what you can and not spending when you can’t. I hope things improve for you and your family soon Elisa. ((hugs))

Elisa, Gal, you are not just saving the money on formula but providing your infant with great values of immunity — and this is flu season.

Maybe you will have to take on a job; if things get so strapped. But, though it is hard, you are very frugal. Your daughters are not wanting for anything. You have been super with beating a budget since I started reading you over a year ago or longer.

And, especially in today’s society, all that you can give your girls while you can is worth more than a dime over a penny in the pocket. And, I know, if you earn a dime – a nickel or more will go to the child care…

No offense to anyone who hasn’t nursed or who has to work and leave their children with childcare. None at all. We all have to make decisions and choices that fit our needs.

I just want you to know (Elisa) that I respect and understand your position. And, I’ve been on both sides of working and staying home pre-children and post children.

When exhausted a person will worry more, stress more, and ‘what if’ more. Just keep doing what you are doing because it sounds like you are doing it all wonderfully.

And, it sounds like Billy is doing the same… Taking it one day and one side of the bed at a time….

Heads up and hug those beauties…. And, don’t forget to get those zzzzzs when you can.

If I had to work, I’d have to pay someone to keep Audrey & Cate. It wouldn’t be cost effective. I’m also not feeding my baby formula. It’s tight and it’s hard but it’s not so bad that we’re ready to go on welfare or anything, ya know? I am hoping things will improve soon instead of getting worse.

(((Hugs))) Elisa. I remember this time too, 3 kids is hard. But this too shall pass. I know it’s easier to say that, but it will. Audrey will get older and it will get easier with the kid thing.

No offense, Elisa, because you know I adore you and think you are an awesome mom, but why don’t you just bite the bullet and get a job? I mean, after the 6-8 weeks is over. I know you want to stay home, but sometimes it’s just not logical…I know it wasn’t in my case either. I was lucky enough to be able to stay home with one child, but I worked full time with one and had to go back to work when my youngest was 2. It really would make things much easier on your family and hubby.

Please don’t hate me or get mad. I just think it might really solve some of your problems.

xoxoxoxo, Amy
