WOW

I can't believe it has been over a year since I last posted.  I need to be more diligent with posting.
Well today is the first day of March and we start our strict budgeting and meal plan.  I did the shopping for the next 2+ weeks and have spent $260. I still need to get chicken though. I will continue to make our own bread and pasta as we are trying to eat less processed items.  I think that this can all be done and feel really good about it. I am nervous about starting a new job next week as I will not have all this time at home to organize and plan things.  I have been on a daily house cleaning schedule so I don't feel so overwhelmed but I will have to rearrange that and I am going to incorporate Steven helping. He won't be happy but that is what is going to happen!  I have my DaveRamsey envelopes all done up for the month and I am finishing up Suzy Orman's new book to give me even more strength.  I wish that all parents would teach their kids about money so that people like me at the ripe old age of 40 would not be having to teach theirselves and be worried about the future. 
Anyway, I saw Cameron at the clinic yesterday while at a doctor's appointment for Steven. He was with Jason and Belinda getting the baby some shots.  He wanted to come home with me but it was a school night and Jason said no.  He told me about him getting mad at school yesterday and just picked up his book bag and left. I could not believe he did that but that is what he used to do three years ago. I was shocked. But he is doing surprisingly well since the move back with his father.  I am pleasantly surprised.  But I do miss the little booger!!
I will try to keep up my postings, just for myself because I don't think I have any followers, but maybe I can keep myself motivated and accountable.
