Lisa, I had a leak in one of my tires and I just had it patched for $15...actually twice. It held me over until tax time so I could buy new tires. I used to feel bad too about leaving Jackson with OH but not anymore. For one, OH is his daddy and sometimes they need a reality check to see that it's not so easy trying to keep up on housework and work work and baby time and personal time and laundry and grocery shopping...do I need to go on? Also, Jackson just absolutely adores his daddy...seriously, it is so heartwarming to see those two together.
