Working mom?

Being a stay at home mom is hard, and frankly it gets boring sometimes. Not that I'm not always busy because there is always something that needs cleaned or a diaper to change or bottles to wash. I'm just not cut out for the life of one income. I will never make my own laundry detergent, I prefer tide which just so happens to be the most expensive and I like dove body wash and not suave and I have to have salon brand shampoo and conditioner because of the length of my hair. I'm not cut out to budget or cut coupons, I just am not able to do it and only buy on sale. I want those 100$ pair of jeans and the 45$ makeup pallet because its name brand and lasts forever and doesn't fade. I'm spoiled with nicer things and living on 24k a year doesn't get you a whole lot of nicer things. My husband tells me how it's impossible to save money with me, I try, I really do but damn I don't want to use drugstore brand tampons or cheap toilet paper. I make 2 trips to the store a month. I make a list and meal plan for everything so we don't buy a whole lot of extra stuff we don't need and my grocery bill for 2 weeks worth of food for 3 people was 260$. Seriously that is ridiculous. That's why I am not cut out for thos stay at home mom coupon life. I am going to school to get a job so we can have two incomes and not have to worry about how much my shampoo costs. If my husband made a lot more than he makes now then it would probably work. Maybe like 50k a year would do lol. I want to buy a house sometime in the nearer future and maybe have another baby but I want to be more financially stable! All in all I just can't wait to start school and be finished. I don't want to miss my baby all day but sometimes you have to make sacrifices!

Relationships

Things aren't always easy with my husband. He drives me insane, we fight all the time, and he just plain out annoys me sometimes. But I honestly can say that he has made me a better person. I find new ways to love him everyday, and new things to love about him. I would do anything for him & be whatever he needed me to be. I signed up for better or for worse and no one can expect things to be perfect all the time. You have to work hard at a relationship and put in 100% effort & as long as we are both doing that, then I know we will be just fine.
