Last weekend, I built an obstacle course throughout my house for Wintress to play in. As you can see, I've replace most of the time I would be shopping with kid stuff, but it's been fun, and it's probably better to do these sorts of things with my daughter instead of shop, anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607441577481793848.post-40584135266202753102013-09-24T13:02:59.874-07:002013-09-24T13:02:59.874-07:00I'm sorry to hear that you have had a rough pa...I'm sorry to hear that you have had a rough patch. Here's to bluer skies and less expensive entertainment! Would you mind sharing some of your activities that you are using to replace shopping? I have to admit to watching more Netflix and playing facebook games.

I enjoy it so much, and I've passed on that enjoyment to my daughter. This past summer, I've had some health problems, and doctor bills have totaled over 1000. In addition to that, I've had to pay my car insurance, the taxes on my car, and have had to buy a new mattress, all within a 2 month span. This means that I am now broke. Completely. And I've had to prioritize and each time I get bored and want to go shopping, I realize that it's not an option. I've realized that after moving to a small town where, even after a year and a half, I have made NO friends, I shop when I'm bored. I shop when it's cold. I shop when I want to take my daughter somewhere "fun". I shop, shop, shop. And now that I can't, I've figured out that there ARE other ways to spend our time. It's been eye-opening. (But, I won't lie; I do miss it...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
