We have food!

Seriously, I haven't gone shopping in two weeks or more. hubby was pretty upset there was no food yesterday. He could go shopping but nooooooooo ... it's okay though. at least this way i know how much is spent on groceries (too much) and i can not get something if it's just too much money. he'll buy everything on the list even if we don't have money for two more weeks. oy.

The thing i'm learning is that even though both of us work and we both make good money, we still have to budget. can't just go crazy, even when our YTD income looks really really good. We pay tithing on our gross, we are paying child support, we have a house and two cars and two kids and a whole bunch of things, but if we're not still careful with the money, we're still in trouble.

Went to IKEA yesterday with cc -- spent less than $25, but got a whole lot of ideas on how to make this house work for us for a few more years. We need to get rid of some stuff and better organize the stuff we keep. But either this summer or when we are pregnant again, we're going to turn the office into a nursery -- and put my office into one of our walk in closets. I think we've even figured out how to do that. So, yeah. Things are okay.
