I took the car in to the Honda dealership yesterday morning, and the bill is about what I expected- that is, it's just a little bit out of my range right now. Go figure.
So I've been trying to figure out a birthday gift for Meg that I can actually afford, but one that she'll still enjoy. It's pretty difficult considering the kinds of things her friends at school have...she understands that we don't have as much money as other people, but sometimes she forgets, and I do hate disappointing her like this.
I hate to be the kind of mom who buys her children's affection (and I actually don't have the chance to be that kind of mom) but I do want to get Meg something nice, just to show that whatever kind of rough patch we're going through, it doesn't mean I don't love her.
In other news, my sister Ellie's baby is due in less than a month! I'm so excited for her, especially since she is completely ready to have that baby. She told me on the phone today that she can't remember what her feet look like. We're already arranging a visit once the baby's old enough to travel, so that the girls can meet their new cousin. And Ellie's finally decided on a name: Madeleine Rose. I think it's very elegant, and I'm sure it'll fit the baby perfectly.
it's ok mom you don't have to get me anything big. sorry i was so grouchy this whole week. i'll tell you about it later ok?
