One Month

Em's birthday is next month. One month from tomorrow. I wish I could give her a grand birthday party. As it is, she'll probably only get something from my sister.

This is why I think I'm the crappiest mother in the world and why I am SO FRIGGIN CONSUMED with money. I think I'd be ok if it were just me. No money would be do-able. But Emmaline? Poor thing. As is I don't know what I'm going to do about school clothes. Birthday? Totally screwed.

Ack! Freakin unemployed shit of a mother.

Fuck!

Nae!
Shame on you! Lack of money does not a bad mother make! I'm sure Em knows this also. She loves you and I'm sure you can find something to do in your town that costs nothing or just a couple of dollars that she would love. Go to the dollar store and get a balloon and take her for some ice cream or find a museum... most ask for donations and you don't have to pay an entrance fee. At least around here that is the way it is... some have a special day that is free if they do have admission. What kinds of things does Em enjoy? Come on I know you can make it memorable without money. I think we as parents are so worried about keeping up with the "Jones'" that we all forget that it is the little things that matter.
