Must I forget?

Sunday my pastor spoke about how sometimes when you are having an issue with someone in your life God is trying to deal with you, not the other person. This message seemed to be written specifically for me. I have not talked about it much, but Cugli and I have serious issues with his side of the family. They are the kind of people who are always the victim. If they decide not to invite us to something, it is because I intimidate his step mother, or if they don't see Sugar bean enough, it is not because they would rather golf on the Saturdays we have free, it is because we won't make time for them, and don't want them included.

I am really struggling with this.

The Dave Ramsey Plan

Cugli and I are currently in the middle of a new budgeting plan. We just got really sick of feeling like we had no idea where all our money was going every month. Well.....I sort of had an inkling that the money might be hanging in Sugar Bean's closet, but I was not about to tell Cugli that. Regardless, we agreed to start out on our path to being debt free.

In the beginning I was resistant. I was completely content being a spendaholic, and maintaining several smaller monthly payments. However now I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. We tallied up all our debt, excluding the house, set a time frame, and we are doing it. We expect to be debt free by September 2009(not including the house). It would be sooner, but we just bought a car this year, and it is going to take a little to pay that off. I guess the big news is, today I am officially out of credit card debt. I cut that puppy up and I feel great. It is amazing to me how good reaching such a small milestone feels. I felt more motivated than ever. And then.....I found.....This Site.

I think sugar needs a new pair of shoes.

OK, I admit it. My name is Liv, and I am a baby clothesaholic.
