Back to school!!!! *for five anyway* Every single parent I know is so excited that the kids have gone back. The only reason why I was excited for school to start, was because it would help our finances..... Eventually.

Jay and I were paying my sister because she gave up her summer to watch the kids for 60 bucks. Then you add on the food cost. We literally were spending over 600 bucks a month on food for the kids!


But when back to school expenses came along, my husband and I made sure that we got the kids too clothes and shoes but not break us. The kids got four outfits each & new shoes. I felt good about it.

But a part of me is angry because I feel like others don't give a shit about their children as much as we do. You are always seeing and hearing excuses and then seeing them smoke, eat out, go to the bar....You see so many parents with messed up priorities. But you have to remember that you have to suck it up and remember you aren't like that for a reason.

Then when you have back to school you have sports. My husband and I encourage our children to play sports even if it means that you're paying dearly. We have 3 boys in football and it was 200.00 just to sign them up.

I'm not complaining.....OK yes I am complaining. I want and choose for my kids to have everything they have...It IS my fault! Being a Mom and Dad of so many children we knew this day would come. But sometimes we just need to belly ache a bit! you know?

Well that's all for now....Until next time...
