I have been taking it easy all day.  I must say I am a bit bored.  I plan on writing some more household articles.  I did my one about grocery shopping today.   So maybe tomorrow I will be writing about budgeting.  Something to do………

Hubby did wonderful getting groceries.  He bought everything on my list and a few things he wanted and only spent 95.00 for two weeks of food.   I am going to use the money saved to pay extra towards our debts.   I was able to pay off one credit card with the savings.   I now only have one credit card with any balance on it.  It currently has only my laptop on it.   It has been so great that my hubby has been so committed to paying off all our debts.   After this last credit card we will only have major loans left to chip away at.  They will take years to pay off, but we are committed to continue paying extra. 

Our expenses greatly increase in the summer.  Since my stepson lives with us in the summer we incur an additional $400.00 a month in daycare expenses for him.  It is worth it to make sure he has appropriate supervision.   So obviously over the summer months we have no extra money to do much or pay extra on our debts.  It is sort of odd that we pay child support all school year and he has little to no daycare expense.  Once summer comes he needs full time daycare and it falls on us with no assistance.
