gonna be a rough summer

So it was just made to clear to me today that we are really going to have to budget, budget this summer...just when I thought things were on the up...the seagull flies over my head and takes a big crap!!! It's going to be challenging, I have canceled some fun things that we take for granted...and have decided we will spend more time outside and less time inside...maybe it will be a good thing. More cooking at home, hopefully healthy cooking and we will even start making smoothies...that should be fun. I have even considered to making baby food...but I doubt that will happen. But it is an option if necessary. I'm thinking about borrowing a friends membership card to Costco and stocking up on somethings...I still have not figured out if buying in bulk is a good idea, I always just want to get through one week at a time. I'm hoping that starting with May things will start to settle down a bit and we won't have to spend so much money on eating out or entertaining. Luke even agreed to cancel Blockbuster for the next 4 months...I'm going to get a membership at the Library...get movies from there instead. I even cut back on my Proactiv...now that was a sacrafice for sure. No shopping for new clothes anytime soon...that is why it is so important for me to lose the rest of this baby weight so that I can fit back into my pre-pregnancy clothes again :) then I don't need to buy any clothes. I just discovered that there is public pool, park and dog park near our house in Oro Valley...so I definitely want to take advantage of those things, and spend this summer outside more, especially the evenings, while it is comfortable outside. I'm interested to see how well Brewski and Bobby would do in a dog park...it could be scary. We'll get through it and like I told Luke, it won't be like this forever :) We have a lot to be thankful for right now:)
