Wow! It has been a long time ....rambling

I feel bad that I have not been here in so long. I am usually on Xanga. But to give an update my ex has moved out. He now have his own place. We are super busy DD#2 is playing soccer and softball and soon basketball. I am also refocusing on my goals for the year.

One of my goals for the year is to become more financial stable. How am I doing this?
1. I am going to stick to my budget (this is VERY hard for me)
2.I am going to plan my meals. ( I like doing this)
3. I plan to paying for everything with cash. (this is going to be another hard one)

There are many more goals but this is where I feel I need to start first. I would love to hear how other manage to stay on budget. Please leave a comment.
