Well, I survived August! Almost everyone I talk to has a similar situation: all our family birthdays are rolled into one month or two.

Not only is it back-to-school month, but we also have Summer’s birthday, Saylor’s birthday, my mom’s birthday AND her anniversary.

Summer and Saylor are three years apart, but were almost born on the same day. It wasn’t my intention, but that’s just the way things worked out. Saylor was also born a week late, so her birthday is just 10 days before Summer’s.

This year I only had one birthday party, but I know I won’t be able to keep that up forever. Soon enough they will have different friends and interests. (This year the theme was all things Dogs!)

In other words, I’ll pretty much be broke every August.

My sister, Rebeca, is due with a baby girl right around Christmas.

I better start saving now.
