My checkbook is bleeding

I just spent $238 on a dang carseat for Zoe.

She weighs over 40 pounds, so she really should be in a booster seat & not this baby one she is in. Plus it's filthy, the straps are twisted and look worn, and she has to squash down to get in it.

So I looked at the boosters. But at her weight, most of them only do the seatbelt across the seat thing. Which Ms. Jailbreaker can sooo easily get out of (she did when she used her cousin's). So I liked the 5 point harness (which really straps them in and is pretty safe) because she can't easily escape.

But of course, only the MOST expensive manufacturer makes 5 point harness seats for over 40 pounds. Oh well. That other one scares the bejeebs out of me. As do the seatbelt across ones, because basically they are worthless if she escapes.

But sheesh - $238??? It was $270, but was marked down.

Anyway, it's so scary to spend money. It really is. But I foresee some major expenses coming up when we move. Like a bed for Zoe.

Anyone have a twin bed frame they want to get rid of?? I want something solid for the Stunt Baby Extraordinaire.

I'm freaking out. But that's typical about moving stuff & picking out expensive things for me now. It used to be easy when I had a solid income, but now that I pinch pennies, it's so hard to part with them.

Her freaking dad should be buying this stuff anyfuckingway. Loser. Oh well, at least he has been paying his share of the daycare.

I'm out.
