with my spending. :wah: It's ok, I can pull myself back up and get back on track. No permanent damage done (ie. no credit cards used), but I need to get back in control.

:hug:

thanks. It seems like it goes in cycles, yk? We got a big bonus and instead of being really good and doing what I planned, it seems like it just disappeared. My DH LOVES the MAC machine and I spent way to much on Christmas and the stupid stuff like fast food, pizzas, and other mindless things. Doesn't seem like much, but a few weeks of mindless spending and holiday excess can make $2,000 go like water. :(

But on the bright side--I did pay my school bill first! YEAH!! It was $440. So that's one thing I don't have to worry about. And since it's A&P 2, we use the same books as A&P 1. YEAH!! Especially good since the books for A&P 1 cost over $275!!

So, I'm trying to just move ahead instead of beating myself up. There's no use dwelling in the past, right? (Though I do have a few things that I can and will return.)

I have totally been there. :hug: Congrats on recognizing it and getting back on track before you encrude more debt... really, that is a big thing right there.

glad you're getting back on track. you'll feel lots better about it!
