  • Morning.


    My plans for today? 


    School with the kids...(eventually)


    Redo our budget.  (EWWW!)


    And right a very tight grocery list.


    Payday is tomorrow.   But its gonna be a light one so we can pay back my parents.   Our freezer is still full.   But we have to have the foods that go with meat etc.     My food budget is normally $300.   I'm hoping to cut at least a hundred off that.


    The good news is, is the adoption check comes on the first and then things will be back to normal.   With the exception of us being a bit more cautious with our spending.  LOL


    The bad news is its been awhile since we touched our budget...and its making me sick to my stomache thinking about it.   We don't have RAinee's monthly health care stuff budgeted.   And I'm not particularly looking forward to figuring out how to pay for it for "real".   Theirs a couple other things like that that we've just been paying...and now I need to deal with reality.  We kept hoping it would go away......


    Reality...sucks.


    Edit;


    The budget was painless...and it works.  Scarey.  I'm glad I did it now instead of obsessing about it.


    Now the trick is to get us out of the wee hole we're in so we can function with it.  hehehehehehe


    That is a big thank you God


    Okies goood news lots of food here.   Really could basically do without going to the grocery store if we absolutely had to.  It would be extremely boring LOL.   But we COULD.   So I'm not in bad straits...just hate dealing with the money stuff.


    What a depressing blog.


    On the upside its gorgeous outside.   And we'll probably be able to go find some place to swim.  I have gas for that.  *cheers*.   Soooooo  trying to decide whether my moms or the lake again.    We'll decide later.


    Have a great day All.

  • We've been rebudgeting ourselves...such a fun task isn't it? LOL  Although ours just got alot simpler with the lower income and CCCS rather than several bills to account for...that makes it wee bit less depressing. LOL

  • Ewww, budgeting. I have to do that too. I think that not knowing where the money goes is worse. I honestly can't say how much we spend on food. With school lunches and eating out, my grocery store bill is pretty low, but the total? I haven't a clue! :shysmile: But I think for 7 1/2 people, you're doing great with $300. I suspect that is about what I spend on the 3 of us Have fun outside today!

  • {{hug}} may this day be a joyous one for you.

  • hang in there.  one day at a time remmebr.
