I'm a middle-aged woman determined to get out of debt. My husband and I are going through Financial Peace University (again!) through our church. As Dave Ramsey says, this isn't a microwave, it's a slow cooker. Come with me on my journey!

2 Years & 149 Days: 15 Years Ago Today
Fifteen years ago today, Tom started a new job at Central Machine & Tool in Enid. I cannot believe he's been there 15 years! I am so impressed with him. We are going to celebrate by going out on a date tonight.

2 Years & 148 Days and blessings abounding
With not feeling well and therefore not posting much, I have neglected to mention a couple of major blessings we have had lately.
1. Tom is getting to work overtime on Saturdays. It won't be every Saturday, but it will be very helpful to our budget. I appreciate him getting up and going in to do it. I have the best husband in the world!
2. My child care is pretty full for the summer. I have 6 full-time and 3 drop-ins starting next week when the new baby starts and his brother comes back full-time. One day this week, I had to actually turn away kids because I was full!

2 Years & Days 141-147 and another week has passed
Wow! I did not intend to let a week pass without a post! I felt really bad all last week with the asthma. That finally lifted, but this week has been crazy and just got away from me.
It's almost time to update on my goals for this last month. Sadly, I don't have much to update. With everything going on and with not feeling well (sinuses first, then the asthma), I have been very lax in working on my goals. I am trying really hard not to be hard on myself about it and just pick back up where I left off.
True confession time. After going all of 2009 without a courtesy pay fee at the bank, I've had 3 in the last month. UGH! I am so annoyed with myself! Time to re-read some Dave Ramsey stuff, get out the budgeting forms and start telling the money where to go again.
Now that I am feeling better, I will try to get back to posting everyday, even if it's just a quick check-in.
