I feel your pain, Susan. We were hemorrhaging money this year, and while that particular financial drain is stopped up, we've had unavoidable expenses that made me not even look at how close we were to our credit limits for a while because I would still have to spend the money and not looking kept me from being too stressed.
Well, yesterday I started paying attention again and it is not pretty. Thinking about how long it's going to take me to get out of debt makes my brain hurt. But I will get there, and so will you. You are doing everything right.
It doesn't work for me all the time, but I'm less likely to find myself whipped into a frenzy of panic about shit like, "I WILL NEVER OWN A HOME AT THIS RATE."
Allyson, you are awesome. I mean that very sincerely.
I've got Muppets on the mind (bought Season 2 of the Muppet Show and have been watching some episodes), and I followed this link to a tribute song to Jim Henson by Tom Smith, "A Boy and His Frog." If you watch it, be prepared with some Kleenex.
Oh, man, Kathy. Waterworks.
~sniff sniff!
I love the Muppets. Jim Henson was a master.
So....my actual panic for the day? We're supposed to meet my mom in Vegas tomorrow night, Monday morning at the very very latest. A snow storm just started in Boise about 3 hours ago.
GAH. That will make getting to my mom unpleasant and scary, especially with an almost-nine-month-old in tow.
Oh, poor Kat. I hope it works out.
Hey! I'm not that short. I'm taller than Kristin.
And?
I mean...

Sheesh...walk away from Natter for a day, and look what happens. Snide comments from short
and
tall!
Kat, I hope everything works out.
Allyson, I
t heart
your post a lot. I'm trying not to think about money or about my credit score at all right now. Just...no.
