Ticks are sick!

Elliot said my head hurts. I took a look and saw a nice big tick sucking his brain! Imani had a big dead on on her when we got her and I found another one a week later and started her on antibiotics.
I took Imani to get Frontline and vacinatons. I hope that will keep those nasty bugs out of this house and off the family!

Budgeting?!?!

I hate writing down a budget. We spend more then my husband make. He works so hard I hate to tell him no because we don't have the money.
Well we really don't have the money right now. We are no longer using our credit card. Now when my husband wants to eat out I have to say no we CAN'T.
I need to start seeing how much money is coming into our house and how much is going out. We have dreams of vacations and a new washer and dryer. I would love to pay for Dr. visits when the bill comes not when we get a few notices!
I have no idea how much we spend on food each week or month. The Target, Wal-Mart, Freddies receipts have clothes or diapers and such on them too. I am sure I can do this. I am very inspired by reading others blogs and considering a full disclosure blog with all our finances posted. I think I will be more careful if I have an audience.

I sat down and started planning a menu. I think we could get away with only spending $50 dollars in groceries this week. We do receive WIC for the boys and I have a bit of food stashed. Wish me luck.
