Explain that you're overwhelmed right now. Trust me, it'll be freeing for you!
I pray things will get better for you!!!! That's a lot to try to handle right now!

I hear ya! Happened a few years ago -- everything was so overwhelming. So I made one trip to the mall and purchased mall gift cards (can be used anywhere in the mall). the kids loved them. The next year, we gave them WalMart cards. They loved those even more. So for many years we gave them gift cards to different places. Now we give money -- they want the cold cash and that's fine with us.
:wink: The older they get the more they really appreciate it.
