Day 23. This month has flown by. It's hard to believe there are just a few more days left of the challenge. In a way this last week is going to be the hardest.
I found myself wishing I could order online today. I found this great recipe for Frozen hot chocolate on pinterest. I so wanted to make it! I almost ordered the ingredients off of amazon. There have been a couple other things I wanted too...evil internet! All these people asking for money! :)
Hubby wanted wings for dinner. I didn't fight him. It seems that eat out fridays could become a tradition at our house. I wasn't in the mood to cook dinner anyway. And I am feeling really good about our budget right now.
The mission today was to find money around the house. I found some dollar bills I left on our dresser. I remember as a kid, I used to clean my room and find all this money I had stashed places. I don't do that as much any more. I also found a check (in my inbox file) that I need to take to the bank. It is a refund from the insurance for a premium I didn't have to pay, apparently. So I "made" $33 today. Bonus. :)
Avoided the store. I even successfully navigated the school book store by leaving my wallet at home when I went to parent teacher conferences. I always feel I need to help out the teachers and buy the books they want for their classrooms. I also want to encourage my kids to read and buy them books...great intentions that don't help not spending money!
So that is where I am at. Good luck to all of us in this last week of the challenge!
It's Been a long journey to get to where I am. Sometimes it feels like I start and stop and start again. Revisiting things I have done, said I would do, know and haven't done. So to get out of this rut of starting and stopping again, I am revitalizing this blog and creating a Knowledgebase. A place to learn from my life experiments and remember what I set out to do. Building upon the knowledge I had before. Always learning and always improving
