there went my check

check: +$612 (two weeks, minus one day, raise not effective yet)
breast pump (absolutely mandatory) + needed accessories: -$300
babysitter (also mandatory :P ): -$160 (two weeks of sitting, minus one day)
cable (I have to pay since Jason wants wwe 24/7 and doesn’t get paid til friday and it starts today): -$60min
= $92 <– amount left for groceries/gas

Jason will add maybe $300 (since he helps his parents out with bills and stuff, his check is halved) and that will go to bills. joy :P

I would've put that $300 in savings anyway, so I suppose there wasn't really a loss. Was planning on throwing another $100 or so at TJ, but there went that idea — my apologies if you see this, TJ. I should've bought the better pump to begin with :P

so far the cheapo $40 pump from either walmart or target is costing me:
$56 (work)
and
$40 (cost)
so it's just under $100 and for another $150 I would've had -no trouble-

ces't la vie! (or however you spell that!)

if any expectant mothers out there are wondering "should I get this pump or that one?" just remember: a pump that works, so you can too; or a pump that takes up your break, plus your friend's break, and half of your lunch — you get the idea ;)

anyway
no more freaking out for me!
phew!
