That is how I have felt these past few days. I cashed my paycheck and used the cash to pay for groceries and this and that.....and now my paycheck is dwindling down. I got so bummed out. I am not sure why. The money I earn seems to fly out the door. My kids just seem to need this or that. A quick trip for this or cash for this at school.....it is really frustrating with four kids to not nickle and dime myself to death. Today we are off to buy some pumpkins. DO we really NEED pumpkins? Not really but my girls love to go every year. So making a memory at the pumpkn patch is important to me.
I guess weekends seem harder because that seems to be when I do the majority of my spending. Hopefully I will gain back more control starting on Monday. Just tough being the single mom sometimes. I feel the weight of the world at times on my shoulders....yet i would not have it any other way. I am truly in control of my destiny as far as money goes. I do have choices and when I choose poorly I only have me to blame.
On the hand I am grateful....I have alot of blessings! Life can be hard but yet I am thankful for everything I have and what I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED in my life.
One day at a time....doing the best I can with what I have.
Two steps forward....three steps back
