Oops...

When I estimated that we'd be able to put an additional $250 on our credit card, I forgot a couple things so the estimate has gone way down! I forgot that we budgeted $50 for a trip to the dentist for Boy #1 and also $50 for a celebratory dinner for DH & I.

We've been working on this budget for almost two months and we've been incredibly disciplined so we are rewarding ourselves with a date. We rarely go out to eat, so this is a special treat. Two months isn't really that long of a time, but we've had a big bonus and a big tax refund that could have been blown on less responsible things than paying down debt. I think we deserve a night out!!

Today, Baby's Dad called to say that Baby's Mom is taking the day off because he got a tooth or two over the weekend so he's grumpy. First timers....hahaha. They said that they didn't want me to have a grumpy baby......like I've never dealt with one of those before! Anyway - that takes 1/5 of my paycheck for the week. Which is okay because I'd much rather spend the day with just my boys at the park. Next week, Boy #1 goes back to school after having 3 weeks off and since we've had Baby both weeks he's been off track (and assuming we'll having Baby again tomorrow), this is the only weekday that it will be just Mom and Sons. I'll have to make it loads of fun!

So anyhoo - I don't feel bad at all about only the paying the minimum on the VISA because we've paid down a ton of debt this month and we got our emergency fund started at $1000. Not too shabby! Good for us!
