Defining Moment

Yesterday was a difficult day for me. We took a trip to Water Tower for Eddie's little sister's birthday, and his niece's...Happy Birthday Abby and Ava!

All the sudden,

I started to have heart palpitations,

my brow starting to sweat,

I felt dizzy,

the room was spinning,

my breathing turned quick,

my heart raced,

my stomach tightened.

This was not a health issue or a pregnancy issue, thank goodness. It was my reaction to the total amount owed at the American Girl store...and my realization that this is my reality as a mother of a girl. Oh, how I will struggle with the lack of necessity and cost of this store and training my little girl to appreciate the value of a dollar.

We can honestly say that we did our hardest to stimulant the economy yesterday.

These pictures, and cuteness, I consider maybe not worth the cost. Unless she plays with this doll everyday and passes it on to her daughter, I may have a bitterness in my stomach.
