just to make someone else happy even if only for a while....
This weekend is the Crawfish festival here it’s a pretty big deal they have all kinds of bands games and rides…. I had told Nate we will try to go Saturday well stupid me forgot I had to pay the mortgage today…. So pretty broke we are at this moment but I felt bad I made a deal if he used his 10 dollars I would give him 5 so he can ride all the rides…but I didn’t want to hear him asking for any money for anything we couldn’t even get sodas…. (but I still has 12 bucks in my pocket for a little something later)….. Tonight I thought was supposed to be the free admission night…so I figured we will go tonight instead...Nate and I took off just me and him… We we get there and have to pay 3 bucks to park…. Walk across the parking lot and free admission was last night…. Uggggghhh so I went into my pocket I was a dollar short!!! Okay you can not explain to an 8 year old he cant go in the fair and ride the rides because mommy doesn’t have an extra dollar….and oddly enough I didn’t even bring my bank card with me… so we had to turn around he was upset I told him lets go to the truck and see if we cant find some change
Well after about 5 minutes of searching every nook and cranny we came up with $1.03 whew!! So we go back pay to get in he buys his little bracelet to ride all the rides… now I know that now that this little trip cost me 31 bucks that I really didn’t have but every time he got on a ride the smile and laughter that came from my kid made it all worth it…. I am so glad we went I spent some quality time with my son he had a blast and it made me all warm and fuzzy inside…oh and hes a big kid now because he rode all the big rides! Lol but anyway I need to say I LOVE MY KID!!!!
