I have been sitting doing my bloggy stuff and I realized have not done an update. I could say it is because I have been sooo busy with my other sites and blogs but that is not the whole truth. I have not done everything I have set out to do and I feel a little bad. So I guess I should start with the stuff I said I would do but didn’t.

  • could not finish the Simple Dollar “30 days to improving your finances”, I just could not think!
  • have not started the make ahead meals , I really, really want to.
  • have not been clipping coupons, I have the coupons all in one area I just have not cut them out
  • i have not been cooking every night  ( i just have not been as prepared as I should be)
  • i have not started the envelope system (once DH gets home from home tonight we will set it up)

There are some good things I have been doing though

  • have not been shopping with credit cards ( still in freezer)
  • have been doing a lot of research about saving money and being frugal
  • recycling big time
  • got my first check from payperpost
  • have done grocery shopping with a list and stuck to it
  • tv in the living room broke and I did not run out and get another one!! I was actually smart about this little mishap, but more about this later.

But I am not down in the dumps about it. I know I can improve and I will. I just have to organize my time a lot better. Hopefully I can since the kids are home because of spring break.  I am hoping to spring clean and reorganize my home without spending any money. My plan is to sell the stuff we do not need. Wish me luck!!

If anyone else has some things they did not quit finish or slipped up a little, let me know. We all need some support, I know I do.
