via (me)A week back at work after a reasonably long vacation is never easy, but I'm nearly through it. I can't wait for what I hope will be a relaxing weekend. I've got a good book and I'm planning on spending some time with it on the above-pictured couch.
Yesterday was a bit bittersweet.
The sweet part of the day was that in this down economy, I was fortunate enough not only to receive a raise, but also a bonus. Financial security is a powerful thing and I am thanking my lucky stars.
The bitter part of the day was realizing that instead of paying down student loans, renovating our kitchen, or taking that trip to New Zealand, we will probably need to use all of our thus-far saved pennies to *buy* our family. My insurance doesn't cover any fertility treatments, so whether we decide to adopt or opt for medical intervention we are facing some steep costs.
The frustrations seem to be coming from all angles these days. Get me to that couch . . .
Yes, I hate thinking about how we are having to "buy" our family, too. I'm sorry, it is frustrating!!

ReplyDeleteIt's hard when so many people can just have a baby while others have to save up for the 'chance.' Hang in there. I have an award at my blog for you.
