Ok, so 1 down, 6 more to go! It wasn't so bad after all, this first day of the Fiscal Fast. The most challenging part for me was to keep Mark busy during the day without doing too much driving (since I don't want to run out of gas before the week is over). So we ended up mostly staying in the house, playing with the toys. He gets really bored with the same old toys, but fortunately he's easily entertained with even the simplest new ones. For example, today I took some of my business cards (for lack of a better option) and an empty shoebox, cut a slit the width of the card in the box top, and we played the "mailbox" game. Surprisingly, Mark really liked putting cards into the box (ok, so I had to help him a lot) and then taking the lid off and collecting the "mail". We also played some water games!
And we did go out - in the morning I took Mark to the lake for a walk and to feed the ducks. And in the evening Chris took Mark to the pool for a little while (we have pool passes, so no money exchanged hands today).
All in all, Mondays aren't our spending days. Ok, so if we could spend, we would've done it:
Chris said he would've spent $0.60 at a vending machine and
I would've definitely went to a coffee shop this morning for a much-needed pick-me-up - $1.75.
BTW, I found a couple of free events to keep us busy this weekend. So now I'm crossing my fingers that the weather holds.

And I thought that sleep deprivation ends when a baby gets to be about one year old. Boy, was I wrong! And even when my baby-boy is sound asleep, there's still plenty to keep me up - my hubby, my cat, my work, my house work, Facebook, etc., etc.
