December blues

Who else can’t wait for December to be over? I don’t mean to sound like a Scrooge or anything, I love Christmas, it’s my favourite time of the year. But this year I’m on the extended maternity leave and am literally living pay check to pay check. This month is becoming extremely stressful for me. My sons 8th birthday is this weekend and we are having a party for him, I’m worried I won’t be able to afford everything for it. Due to December being a somewhat expensive month for us I’ve had to delay buying groceries until next month and am unable to pay my bills. I know your probably thinking well prioritize and put the bills and groceries first. But that’s easier said than done “sigh” especially when you have an 8 year old who has been looking forward to his birthday party all year and is hoping Santa will bring him a keyboard so he can start taking piano lessons. I don’t want to disappoint him, since his baby sister was born 4 months ago I can tell he’s totally feeling the “no longer the only child” feeling
