I hate to confess this, but I am the person who got my child sick! This is not something I am proud of, but I am accepting it as I can. However, now I have also gotten my husband sick!
I also find myself thinking about everything in terms of formula price...does any other Mom do this? I think this is because since Trenton's birth I took over the family finances. With Trenton's bills plus our normal bills plus me being in school, this is not an easy task, but it is made more difficult by my CRAZY thinking! This morning I was pumping gas and I looked at my $35.96 total and thought, this is at least one can of formula, but with my coupons, it wouold be 2! Is that sick? I think the reality of having a child is sinking in with me financially...it is an added expense, but all worth it! Don't get me wrong, I would not trade this expense for anything, but too often people just say it is expensive, I would have liked a little elaboration.
Even on Saturday, my father was with me to buy formula and he could not believe the price. He then told me how when we were little he got it for free...perk of the job, but still, he was in disbelief. It makes me wonder if I could crush up vitamins and make the same stuff.
Thankfully, Wes and I are blessed in that we are able to afford things for Trenton and we will be okay. Too often people take for granted all they have and it is sad that it took Trenton's birth and the complications he encountered for me to realize this.
Although, I am the one who infested my family with illness, I am grateful for the blessing of Wes and Trenton and I do apologize for the germs...hopefully the dog will stay well!
