May madness

May 3rd, 2011 at 07:45 pm

New month, new budget ... new expenses. After a banner debt reduction last month (to the tune of $2,000), I knew April would be a hard month to beat. And I was right: May is already looking to hammer me with some snowflake-hungry expenditures.

The worst offender is the last minute spending that I failed to account for in last month's budget. So I'm already down nearly $200! Some of it was necessary (or so I keep telling myself), but it looks like we're going to have to majorly rein in the dining out.

May, on the other hand, is staring me down with the lament of broken necessities in its eyes. The laptop battery is near death. The kitchen faucet's handle is hanging on by the proverbial thread. Worst of all (to my DW, at least) is the inoperable ice maker. So much for making progress on debt this month.

    Ice cube trays? To defer that expense until June? Wink

    momcents,

    I know. It seems so "like duh", right? Unfortunately, I've been stalling on this particular repair for a few months now and I'm not sure how comfortable the little play house outside will be to sleep in.
