Exhausted, thinking about money

September 16th, 2006 at 05:36 am

So, this week I didn't do entirely well. But, I have started getting on track. I'm down to nickles and dimes in my account, and terrified something is going to go through before I work this weekend and make some money.

I'm hoping this weekend is busy, so that I actually make money. And somehow I'm supposed to make it out to the soccer fields tomorrow and back on barely any gas. I haven't figured out how that is going to happen yet.

Have you ever had one of those days where you just weren't sure you were doing the right thing. I wanted to quit my job today b/c my manager literally told me I had to pick the job over my daughter. I've never been so furious in my life.

My daughter is more important than anything in my entire life. Money will never change that. But, I have serious doubts leaving her at her cruddy daycare and going to a job that my boss doesn't seem to care about her.

It just honestly, wasn't a good week.

I just keep having to tell myself that next week is going to be better.

Goals for next week:
Sat - Gas *$40*. Julie needs some more pj's, and some shorts, though I am not sure if I am going to buy them this week or next. I am going to try to do my grocery shopping tonight after work. Clean out car, it really needs to be vacuumed. I need to head over to JoAnne's for some velcro to fix Juliette's careseat if I can't find the velcro I bought a couple of months ago.

Sun - Grocery shopping for my parents after work. Bank trip. Deposit the money so I don't spend it. Sunday I'm also going to start my $20 challenge.

Mon - Finish organizing bills. Go through the rest of Julie's clothes, plan trip to consignment shop for hopefully later in the week.

Tues and Wed, no plans to spend any money at all!

Thursday - Pick up cake for baby shower at work ... I also have to pick up a gift.

Friday - No spend day.

I'd like to keep up with this. I'm off to create a sheet to keep track of my bills.

    That looks good.
    And here's just a tip I have used with my boys. When I go looking for PJ's, I usually buy really, really big t-shirts. They're cute on their little bodies, they're extremely comfortable and they eventually grow into them for wearing every day. They are also far less expensive. I generally buy them for $.60 at our thrift store. (That's $.30 on 1/2 off day. Big Grin ) Then, I ask for REAL Pj's for Christmas and birthdays for them. Those become special to them.

    I was going to suggest that some of mommy's (or daddy's older t-shirts make great nighties for little girls Smile But I think Kris10leigh beat me with a very similar suggestion.
