day of returns

the boys and i had a busy day. after heading to a park (w/ a homemade picnic lunch), we made the rounds. the errand i'd been avoiding for weeks, returning the cricut, was done today. i was so sad about the whole thing, but really, right now i couldn't keep it and have a clear concious about our finances. also returned an impulse buy that never made it out of the car-if it had been in there two weeks, and still was in the car, it needed to go back. also went to babies r us, and returned an item i had for baby e-having it sit on the counter for two weeks, and still not being used. it was time to let it go. hubby took the boys to home depot tonight, bought a much smaller version of an item that he had returned last week (to the tune of $35 less!) and bought an electric thermostat so we can finally regulate our a/c and heating use.
needless to say, we were busy. i made a good dinner, and opened the mail. i wasn't suprised to see the mammoth (both in detail and price) invoice from the mold remediation/cleanup service. i'll say it once more, i'm so glad i returned that cricut! now its about plugging away at the rest of the debt that's mounted up, and chugging along. that's all we can do right now.
