    Default I need to stop leaving this place.

    It really seems like every time I neglect this forum I get way back into debt. This time around is no exception. I've been so busy with writing, keeping up with multiple blogs, running my 4 year old to and from preschool, co-ed softball with my husband, and just general family stuff that I have not been really paying attention to our money.

    And it finally caught up with me. We were doing so well before, but we're struggling again, unfortunately. I guess it goes to say something for you guys. You do a great job of keeping me accountable, and when I'm not around I guess I don't think I have anything to account for.

    I know I've missed a lot, but I'm looking forward to jumping in, joining some challenges and getting back on track!

    I know EXACTLY what you mean. This place helps to keep me on the straight and narrow. I too have said several times..." I am never leaving again!"

    I've been so busy with writing, keeping up with multiple blogs, running my 4 year old to and from preschool, co-ed softball with my husband, and just general family stuff that I have not been really paying attention to our money.
    I'm not trying to give you an excuse (you obviously aren't looking for one), but this is a VERY easy trap to fall into.

    It's a part-time job just managing one household's finances. When I get crazy-busy, one of the first things I let slide is the bookkeeping. And it's not exactly a thrilling job to begin with.

    Yeah, it's definitely easy to fall into and I've done it more than once. Even though I know I shouldn't be getting take-out for dinner a few times a week when I'm too busy to cook, I do it anyway. I'm trying to work on better planning so that I can throw dinner in the crock pot ahead of time when I know I'm going to be short on time in the evening. So far I've been doing better!
