May has been a super busy and exciting month! I am exhausted! Kendall graduated on Friday night!\u00a0 Zach is officially a junior and I have four days left of this school year!\u00a0 I will include a copy of my summer goals at the end of this blog post simply because it will make it easier for me to stay accountable.<\/p>\n
Groceries- Goal $800 per month.\u00a0 We spent $653.50\u00a0 for the month of May.\u00a0 This is a huge accomplishment!\u00a0 I am hoping to stay at or below budget for all three months this summer as this will allow me to restock without spending a fortunate.<\/p>\n
Gas- Goal is $400.\u00a0 Total spent was $492.54 for gas\u00a0 this month. Gas prices are currently the highest they have EVER been. We have seen the price drop below $4. a gallon in the last four days. I hope this is a trend that will continue.<\/p>\n
Blogging-The goal will be 15 posts per month.\u00a0 I am really proud of this number and feel like I have finally found a new routine that works for me.<\/p>\n
Debit-\u00a0 \u00a0The goal for 2026 will be to pay off the Home Depot Credit card without interest.\u00a0 We have several months with large credit card payments now thur September. I am working on paying this off and not adding to our overall debit.\u00a0 I will be sharing how things are going at the end of the summer. I will be making the first huge payment on this card the first week in June.\u00a0 I am even more optimistic at this point that we can do this!<\/p>\n
No Spend Days- Goal for 10 no spend days a month. Not even going to suggest that I have a clue about this. I will try very hard to keep up with this!<\/p>\n
Health\/Exercise-I am no hanging out between 171 and 175.\u00a0 Still here, still the same. I have a doctors appointment and am going to ask about increasing my dosage as well as stopping a prescription medicine.\u00a0 I have not needed a shot in my knee in over a year! This is a huge accomplishment!<\/p>\n
Foster Care- Matt and I completed everything needed for our application on March 31, the actual application was not submitted until May 5 or 6th as of last Wednesday May 27th, we have been approved as licensed foster parents in the state of North Carolina.<\/p>\n
