    Default So Proud of myself!

    So we are very short on money this month, and it's no surprise to me, because I know we had a lot of bills go through at once. Anyway, we got free tickets to a baseball game and I decided we should go. I was nervous, because the tickets are usually the least expensive part about going to a baseball game. But we didn't buy anything! I had brought sunflower seeds and bottled water, and we ate dinner before we went. I'm starting to show some willpower finally.

    So happy for you! Most of the time planning ahead (like having little snacks or bottled water on hand will get the edge off and let you enjoy whatever you want. Enjoy!
    You are on a roll, look up in your local paper as to what's going on next weekend/month & get involved. You all have found a new bunch of good stuff to keep you learning/ growing/supporting and on a budget. Plan ahead. enjoy!!!
