I am resisiting every urge to spend! I am using up the pantry....making leftovers go further. Weds my goal is to close my savings account. Part of me feels like a flunkie not filling up my savings account.
Part of me simply does not care. I have to buy jeans for the girls this weekend. I have to really watch it...three girls out jean shopping spells trouble.
I am going to tell my boss I am available on Thursdays--- my day off to work if needed. I hate to offer....but the extra money is a good thing if I can cover for someone. I am not able to work much else or anywhere else right now. I have to be home after school and at night. My friend may get some cleaning side jobs...so again I may have a chance at some extra cash. I told her if I can make it work I will do them with her.
I am working on getting painting estimates for my house. I got one tonight from my friend's husband's co-worker. It was very reasonable. I wonder if they told him I was a single mom as he seemed to be better priced.
I have to keep motivated to save and make do and see that things go further.
A total side bar....does anyone watch MAD MEN??? My power went out on Sunday with 5 mins left in the show....it looked like I missed a good ending! I love that show since it is based in the 60's...the clothes, the styles..it is way cool! I think the story lines and characters are really interesting.
Have a good night everyone.

About Mad Men, I don't watch it (yet) but I believe you can watch full episodes of this on www.hulu.com. I doubt they are caught up with the latest episodes however. You might also try AMC's own website to see if you can watch it there. If you are interested I have a list of over 50 FREE TV sites on my blog. I actually got rid of my cable and now only watch free TV online. (Click on my name to see my blog.)
