  1. We did a budget reset this month and today was the first paycheck. The good news is that everything is covered but I had to use “other” money to purchase gas. I am hopeful that if we can stay lean in January, February forward will be a much easier budget-wise.<\/li>\n
  2. The little kids are staying with Amanda tonight!\u00a0 A huge win for us is that Matt and I cooked dinner. Shrimp Alfredo with Penne Pasta and cheddar bay biscuits.\u00a0 We really enjoy eating out and that is always our first instinct when the kids are gone.<\/li>\n
  3. So far this month, we have spent $20 in groceries.\u00a0 I am very hopeful to keep our spending at this weekly level for the entire month. I did budget $160 for the month but need definitely need to spend less as we have had an extra couple of bills pop up this month.<\/li>\n
  4. Lily is currently practicing to audition for the Youth Theater in a couple of weeks. I am amazed at her talent and glad to see she is practicing and not expecting it just to happen.<\/li>\n
  5. IT IS COLD!\u00a0 In fact, we have not been above freezing the first 5 day of January! I DISLIKE\u00a0 the cold and would just love to stay in bed all day.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
