Surprises

January 11th, 2007 at 12:48 pm

All week I keep thinking it will be a No Spend Day, then BAM! I get whacked with a surprise purchase. I've gotten in the habit of eating breakfast at home, as well as brewing my own coffee for the ride to work (all thanks to the boy, he's FAB). I also am now taking my lunch every day instead of eating lunch out anymore. Much better for the diet and for the wallet. So, untl I get home at night, it looks good.

And then the surprises.

Last night the filter on the aquarium broke. I'm telling you, these "free" fish are getting expensive. We've already had to replace 4 or 5 fish, plus the heater and now the filter.

Night before, we needed to get a wrist brace for the boy's C. Tunnel. (How do you even spell that???) They didn't have the one we needed at CVS, but we ended up getting shampoo, conditioner anda new bath sponge. Oh yeah, and I found a cool little bag for work. *hanging head in shame*

Monday night we ordered pizza b/c we were so exhausted from dealing with other stuff going on, we couldn't be bothered cooking. *hanging head even deeper in shame*

Sunday we met up w/some friends for lunch out. *sigh*

I'd like today to be the No Spend Day I'm waiting for, but we are just about out of milk, Splenda, my WW granola bars, and fesh frutis and veggies.

Does it ever end???

    It never ends - except at the very end (but we don't want to go there!) Sometimes it helps to look back a few months or a year ago to see the progress you've made. Best wishes for forward progress!

    Life always springs these little suprises on us! Better to just go with the flow and try and take control back. Dont let a little setback get you down!
