Today I had to pay bills. Usually, it is a task that I dread. Every since we moved 10 months ago, heck, ever since BEFORE hubby was laid off in 2010 (he is working again), paying bills every month and making ends meet has been a never ending struggle. This month - this pay cycle - is the first time we haven't had a huge expense hanging over our head. It seems every month it is something: a holiday, a birthday, medical bills, the cost of moving, deposits on utilities, vehicle bills, etc. Okay, I still have to do some work on my vehicle and I will soon, but it is so nice to have ROOM in the budget. I knew it was there!
