Not only do we have to struggle with the physical after effects of fertility treatments but the financial ones too and those are tough! Today I ended up having to call in sick for my shift and as I have used all my sick time, holiday time and family time well it's the pocket book a little harder. Our Son was bite by some sort of bug they are thinking spider and now it is infected (it's only been just over 24hrs since the bite) and last night we saw our Dr and she gave antibiotics but this morning things looked worse so I took him into Peds Emerg they informed me that it can take up to 48 hrs for things to look better, so if by tomorrow it doesn't look better than most likely we will start IV antibiotics. So today we are staying home to keep the hand elevated and give meds as needed. Our budget is very tight this month too tight bills are having to wait to be paid and that is not good, so missing even just one day at work has a huge impact. I am hoping that by the end of the month we will have ourselves in a better position but that depends on me working some extra shifts at work and being very good with our budget. Which means no eating out at all and me watching the prices of the foods we buy which is something that we are not used to doing. I am working on this, and today my experiment is that Spencer wants chocolate chip cookies so we are going to make them instead of buying the ready to bake ones and I am attempting to use a healthier recipe so we will see how they turn out. If it all works I will add the recipe later for anyone who would like to try it.
As for our move back to Alberta we moved a bunch of storage totes over to my Mother in laws house last night and today I will tidy up the rest of the storage room and then I can move the store down stairs which will free up the spare room upstairs. My next step after that is our room and then another yard sale plus tackle the kitchen which means some refinishing and painting of the hinges and the cupboard doors. We are hoping to sell our house for 249 000 and it seems like that is a good price for our house and the neighbor hood compartively. The more money we leave with the more money we will have to put away for an adoption when we are ready to start that process.
All and all things are still good but of course little bits of stress creep in, I still feel good about moving my only concern is that I think it is going to happen quickly too quickly!
