Expenses Unexpected

Of course I realized that having a baby would bring on new expenses. I'd be silly to think that a baby wouldn't cost a few shinny pennies. The new equipment that they require, the diapers, the clothes, the diapers, the food, the toys, the diapers, the medical cost, and the cost of childcare and/or the cost of not working. And of course, they grow up and cost even more. None of these expenses have hit us yet, but will soon. But what I wasn't prepared for is the new cost of keeping me full.

We almost never bought any of these items before I was pregnant. Or if we did, it wasn't every stinkin' time we went. But now, I need snacks. If I don't have my snacks, I get really sick. Even when I do have my snacks I get sick, but it's not as bad. And I have to get a wide variety cause eating the same thing every day gets super lame.


These snacks have almost doubled what we are used to spending on groceries...


The most frustrating part about buying these new items, is that a lot of the time, they end up in the toilet too soon, and coming from the wrong direction. When I'm at the store, buying these additional snacks, I have to ask myself, "will this be easy enough to throw up?" Some items, I have crossed off the list of my snacks. I will not eat somethings anymore. Experience has proven it's not worth eating it.

And I've never been a big fan of french fries. And now, I want french fries all the time. It's silly because they aren't something that would come up easy, but surprisingly, I haven't thrown up any french fries yet.

The cost of these snacks are becoming a bit of a financial burden. Not to mention having additional dinners on hand, cause somethings don't sound good at the time. And having to chose different lunch items has cost way too much.


I hate that I end up throwing a lot of the food away anyway cause my appetite is crazy out of control. One minute, I'm starving! I have to eat! And then, the next minute, food sounds like the grossest thing on the planet, and I don't want anything to do with it.

I am so sick of being sick!!
