No Jo Mo 5 Friday, November 05, 2010

What a bad day. Seriously, crappy. I have a whole new problem and I am not sure how to fix it.

I went to the store to buy diapers and laundry soap. My card was declined. My checking and savings accounts are empty. All I have left is very little finicial aid money. All I can think is, "What am I going to do?"

I miscalculated my checking account. I have never done this before. I am always very good with my money. I always know exactly what is coming in and what is going out. I failed at this and it is driving me crazy. It's the one thing I am really good at... and #$*(). I screwed this up too.

So my plan is to not spend any money. Huh. How's that work?

Turned down the heat. No more clothes shopping for Lily. No more extra stuff. No groceries until what is in my house is gone. No more "meat" purchases. Meat is expensive. Cheap hamburger only. No more over eating. No more. no more ... no more... cuttting out the "fat".

Only gas in the car. Parking at school and bills. That's it.

God I can't wait until my tax return. I just have to get to then. And perhaps a part time job. Just what I need. More to do. I don't even know how to fit in a part time job.

Frustrated and depressed all at the same time.

Hard times hit us all at one time or another. Budgeting out things is a good start. we lived on tuna helper for a long time. I found that ground turkey is cheaper than hamburger at most places and it is healthier for you. It holds seasoning really well. [muted exposure] 11/6
