Due to the good nature of Friday's meeting with HR,
My husband and I decided that a written budget was the next item on the agenda.
When we are on--we are really on: like pay off an RV and truck in the same year on.
However, after such great feats we got a little lazy. . .and although we still have the no credit card approach--our spending needs to be reined in since I am going to be working less. . .or not at all next year.
So, Sunday we decided there's no perfect time like the present.
I pay the bills and attack debt with a vengeance; however, that whole budget spreadsheet thing boggles my mind. So we started on paper and then he moved to the computer.
I was so happy to have him in charge!
While we worked, the kids created a restaurant.
How did they know there's going to be a little more eating at home?
I could get used to this treatment though. . .ambiance and all!
The day ended with week three of the New Year's Resolution: bike ride.
Although a bike is in my near future--I don't have it yet so I followed in the car for awhile and did our grocery shopping instead.
They ended up riding all the way to Grandma and Grandpa's house where I came with the truck to pick them up.
We watched some disappointing football (sorry if you're a Giants fan) and Grandma invited us for her barbecued burgers.
We never say no to her barbecue!!
Had some skunk action in the back yard with lots of screams, water, and two skunks fleeing the premises. Fun times!
Budget in place, tummy's full, Super Bowl looming.
Just another great weekend to be grateful for!!
How was yours?
