Well, I was working on my budget today, trying to decide what NOT to pay. I only get paid once a month. With all the leave without pay I've had to take because of my surgery and Joseph's illness, my monthly paycheck is gonna be about $900 short. Ouch! I think I've pretty much got my budget worked out, and I'll be hoping for a huge miracle or for several little ones. I'll take my blessings where I can get them.
I had to explain to Joe today about how I'm not gonna have any extra funds for a while. He was so sweet. I asked him tonite if he wanted one hot dog or two, and he said he'd like two, but he'll start with just one because we don't have much money. I made him two.
It makes me sad that I have to involve him with my finances. I don't want him to worry about that, but on the other hand, I think it's good for kids to experience times when life is less plentiful so they are grateful for when times are more abundant.
My quote for today is: The most important work we will ever do is within the walls of our own homes.
