Well, I was all gung ho about getting back on track about a week ago. A few days ago, I was in a horrid mood and what do I do? I go shopping to try and improve that bad mood. I would up spending $213! Seriously!? I know better than this. I came home with a couple toys for baby boy, a baby wrap so I can wear little man around the house, a Scooba, and two Christmas presents for DH. I did do good with what I got for the money, but still. DH is a lot easier on me than I am on myself.
DH and I have done better with eating out, which we've been working on for a while now. It's just a constant struggle for us, but I think we are getting better. I really need to start tracking my spending again more faithfully.
We had a good Labor day weekend. Saturday, we went boating and fishing with DH's cousin. We had gorgeous weather for it. Sunday, we got baby boy's room painted. We went over budget by $30 for this because we had to do THREE coats of paint for it to look nice. It's done though and looks pretty good, and I will get a rebate back for the paint. Monday, we went swimming and fishing again, and got some cleaning done around the house. All in all a very nice weekend.
I should have an update tomorrow or early next week. DH gets paid tomorrow night, I get paid next Friday. I should get that large contract payment early October, and I am soooo looking forward to that! It will really help boost our savings up.
