as I did on the MR site, I, sadly, have to keep budget issues in mind. With Hubby going on deployment next year, for the foreseeable future, I would have to limit myself to $600 or under (unless I get lucky and someone hands me lots of $ for no reason...) as I have to make sure I can cover things like the house and car payment, and the kids might want food once in a while
If he wasn't leaving my budget would be a good deal higher, but since our income is going to be drastically cut while he's gone, I have to allow some level of common sense and reason to take control. But we really want him.. and Piggy.. and Rizzo.. and Pepe... and hubby would just absolutely die of shock if I could get him an Uncle Deadly (his favorite, next to Pepe...)
