This week has been nuts - it seems every second of spare time we get goes into packing and organizing for the move, as well as tackling our regular day-to-day things, such as playing with the kids, maintaining the house work, working, and running errands. I've been running on empty!
I'd been a bit stressed because I tend to look ahead at the schedule to see what upcoming things we need to prepare for - and aside from the obvious MOVE, spring is coming .. Which means I need to ensure the kids have rain boots, rain jackets, and splash pants .. Which I didn't work into the budget. At all.
Enter: stressed mommy.
While packing in Austin's room, I came across a box of hand-down clothing that was passed onto us that was too big for my kids at the time .. And found a rain coat that fit Leanna perfectly! Relief! I still need to get boots and splash pants and all that but finding this one piece put me as ease - we will be okay! We can get one item at a time, squeezed into the budget, and we will be fine. Easy does it.
So I'm grateful for this handed-down jacket for giving me a much-needed reality check and sigh of relief!
