Today Baby's Mom and Dad brought Baby and a check over (yes, they remembered to pay me this week!). They paid me for yesterday even though they didn't bring him. I thought that was a really decent thing to do and I totally appreciate the thought. So, what else could I do? I gave the check back and asked them to write me another for just four days worth of work. I had to fight him on that, but he finally took the check and will bring me another tomorrow. The funny thing is that if I was still working for RSIC (Ridiculously Stupid Insurance Co), I'd expect that pay and I'd accept nothing less! Oh well...what do you do?
On the debt front....I'm still waiting to get the gas bill before I can pay more to the VISA. Hopefully it will be a lot less this month since Feb/Mar was quite a bit warmer than Jan/Feb. I will have $80 tomorrow ($72 after tithing) but we've got a nephew birthday party on Sunday and Easter is also coming up. DH and I will need to sit down and discuss upcoming expenses that aren't exactly part of the budget.
I listened to a bunch of Dave Ramsey CDs yesterday. On the subject of budgets, he said it would take about 3 months for the budget to really work....basically, plan on failing the first couple of months. We've stuck to our budget but pretty much only because DH is hard core. He doesn't budge an inch when he gets his mind set on something (I know where Boy #2 got his temperament!! Ha Ha). Anyway - as exasperating as that is sometimes, I am so glad that being stubborn is one of his characteristics. It has served us well with this debt reduction/budget plan we've been on. Good job, babe! You ROCK!
