Shaw - "I've fallen and I need to get up!"
I hope all the other families in this Challenge have a wonderful summer and are able to get away for an extended stay with their family.
Now some of you might be thinking, "Isn't that nice of him to say that about the other families!" Well,.. I've got to confess... I don't mean it in a good way.
Let me explain.
We just got back from bringing my mother-in-law back to her home in Melbourne Beach and I feel like we've fallen into financial quicksand. Once you get out of your element that you're use to and the things that you feel you can control, it's a whole new ball game. We were able to stay with her which saved us a tremendous amount on hotel cost but it's so easy to fall into the eating out routine when you're not at home. And then there's all those different stores and since it's a beach community, you've got the whole beach culture that can be enticing.
We got home Tuesday night and I'm still afraid to look at the damages that hit our bank account. I have the feeling that our account went through some warfare and now we've got to do some triage.
So, as I was saying... "All you WLF families, go on and take your family out of town for a nice summer vacation. You all deserve it! Have some fun and send us a postcard or two."
Love from the Shaw's,
Jim, Cheryl, Cassidy and Jack
