I feel like I have been sick the entire month of\nFebruary. The first week was cold\/cough, the second week was a sinus infection,\nthird week was the stomach bug that I fortunately only had a mild version when\ncompared to the kids. This week I am starting with a cold\/cough again and Matt\nhas pink eye. I did make the decision earlier in the month to begin\non Elderberry gummies. This week I have added in Vitamin C and D. I am so tired\nof being sick and to get this stuff kicked to the curb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Goal\n#1 Grocery Budget of $550- This was a close one at $584 for the month. This is\nway over budget but I really tired to buy things we needed. I am hopefully to\nsignificantly reduce the amount for March and work on a pantry\/ freezer clean\nout in order to prepare for the purchase of a cow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Goal #2 \u2013 Record and keep up with gas\/ auto purchase- We spent $293 Which included the unexpected trip to West Virginia. I am excited because the extra in the budget went straight to reducing our credit card debit! I don’t anticipate spending more in March! These are huge gains for use! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Goal\n#3-Use a cash envelope system for everything possible. Success! It has been\nnice having money set aside for all the little expenses like hair and nails. I\nwas even able to get a manicure and pedicure during February. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Goal\n#4- Blogging- 15 post per month. 0nly 9 post for the month. This is\nmainly due to how sick and horrible I have been feeling in the month of\nFebruary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Goal\n# 5- Fitness- Goal is to walk 3 times a week. This was a horrible fail but my\nwatch did tell me that I walked over 50 miles in February which is an average\nof 1.67 miles a day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Goal\n#6 \u2013 Bible study- Goal- 3x a week \u2013 A fail. Definitely need to up my game in\nthis area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Goal\n#7-Attempt at least 52 new recipes this year.- I tried three new recipes\nin the month of February but none were a roaring success or even good enough\nfor a repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earnings_ $60 in gift cards and $15ECB from a survey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In\nMarch, Lily has her play and practice for the play every day until then. All\nthree kids have a piano recital and Zach’s baseball schedule should\nbegin. I am also going to increase my hours at my second job in Guam\nuntil I can get caught up with all the paperwork. My goal is to spend an\nadditional two hours a night on paperwork and other activities until I get\nthings caught up and under control. Wish us luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
