It also happens to be that we are broke this month and living on a tight budget with not a lot of room to move. And it weird to be honest. We have always been really blessed and have always had enough money to live comfortably. TJ has always had a great job and I never really had to go by a budget. Not like I spent a ton (none for that matter. It took me 5 years to be ok with spending "TJs" money and becoming comfortable with that. I have always been really thrifty and only just this past year did I start to spend more (still not a ton) and be fine with it. I just started to spend "TJs" money on his Christmas and birthday presents. I always had to use my hair money just because it was weird to me to buy Tj something with his own money. TJs new job has a lot of potential and I know it will become great and we will be in a very comfortable spot again but for now we have to be patient. And I think it is good for us. To think twice about eating out. To stick to my grocery list 100 percent. And to put all desires and wants aside and think about the bigger goal. Like our basement. I always put my hair money away for some big purchase that I know we wouldn't be able to get otherwise. Like our patio and patio furniture, our kitchen table, money for my car, 1000$ divided and put into our 72 hr kits. Food storage and other stuff. I feel very blessed to have the ability to bring in money for things like that. Any ways I am currently saving every penny to go towards the basement fund. HOWEVER...today there was this closing warehouse sale of all kinds of dress up dresses for kids. I don't know if you know this or not but I have 3GIRLS!!! I couldn't help myself. I put myself back a hair color or two and went crazy buying all the dresses I could. YOU CAN'T BEAT 5$ DRESSES!!! And being a mom of 3 girls I had to. They will only be small once and in a year or two Tallie won't want to dress up anymore. And when that day comes I will be soooooo sad. Little girls are so fun. I need to have a fancy tea party soon and have us all dress up and break out the real deal tea set. NO REGRETS on the buying the dresses. Actually I regret NOT BUYING MORE!!!
We also play Just Dance tonight and I currently hold the top score to Tic Tok and the Russian dance and Hey Ya! Ya I know, I'm the bomb.
It's fall break and we went to play mini golf and see a 3D movie (all free of course).
The end.
