Ramblings

I need to get some thoughts on paper before I forget everything running through my head. This week has been rough, not so much because of baby boy's sleeping habits, but because I have been a total insomniac this week. Normally I can take Benadryl or Tylenol PM, and I am out like a light. Nothing has worked this week, but it's like the tireder I get, the harder it is to get to sleep.
1. Spending for baby boy has been on track this month and last month. There is a killer diaper deal at Walgreens next week, so I plan on stocking up like CRAZY! I have about six month's worth of diapers in the closet, but I'd like to get that up to 18 months. It's that good of a deal. I went to Babies R Us today and returned some clothes that baby boy outgrew before he ever got a chance to wear. I used the store credit to help buy him 6 sleepers, 4 outfits, 2 cans of formula, and a pair of shoes. I spent $44 out of pocket, which I was VERY pleased with. We should be good on formula for the next month, and baby boy now has some clothes in 3-6 months and 6-9 months. I am just guessing he'll outgrow his 0-3 month clothes in about 2-3 weeks. The pants still have a lot of room, but the onesies/shirts are getting kind of small. The one piece things fit him perfectly right now.
2. DH and I are thinking of buying a new mattress. Our current one royally bites, and it is so uncomfortable. We're going browsing this week to see what is out there and how much a new one would cost.
3. Still waiting on more info about the medical bill situation. Still planning on doing a payment plan over 6 months.
4. Have opened baby boy's 529 plan, will make first contribution of $25 next week (hey, ya gotta start somewhere).
5. Mulch account is fully funded.
6. Credit card debt isn't going down, but it isn't going up. It's stagnant for now.

6. Next objective is to add $200 to emergency fund to get it at $1500.
