I take a cooler with me for any cold/frozen items, so I just make the one trip in a big circle  You will find creative ways to save, from your posts here I can tell that you are an intelligent and determined woman and you're going to do just fine.
It's all going to work out, you'll see. You'll both find a way to make it work, and you'll love being able to be with your little one full time. Maybe as he gets a little older, you can find part time work somewhere that would fit into your lives. Things have a way of coming together. |
aww thanks that's great advice and I do feel great about being with him all the time, just trying to get dh to understand the reality of how much things cost. he doesn't shop groceries with me, and he does the check books but he doesn't realize how much it's going to change adding baby and loosing income. but we'll make it i'm sure.
