January Progress Report

Geez time has flown by so far this year! Here's what we acccomplished in January:

By March 31 I want to:
Be under $20K in credit card debt ~ Adequate progress
Billy was forced to get a new job, finally. His old job situation was deteriorating by the day so when an opportunity presented itself, we took it, even though it isn't ideal by any stretch of the imagination. He was on business trips for almost three full weeks in January and it will be the same story as February and March progress. Blah. Anyway, due to this we had a large-ish "signing bonus" coming our way for February plus a decent sized vacation time pay out from his old job. Also, with Billy being gone so much, I was at my parents and grandparents' houses a lot thus home expenses were kept to a minimum. All in all, we were able to throw a lot at debt in January. With the bonus plus a fat tax refund, we'll easily be under $20k in debt if not around $17k which is the next goal. Definitely mixed blessings here.

Implement the chore chart ~ Needs improvement
Well, the house was kept relatively tidy but no real headway on organization was made.

Start health goals ~ Needs improvement
With everything that went down in January job-wise and school-wise, I'm amazed I didn't gain a bunch of weight. Oh and Bee is not sleeping well AT ALL and that makes things harder too. I did, though, actually set goals to be accomplished through February which are: brush teeth every night (I often just fall into bed out of exhaustion), take a vitamin every day, work on Bee's schedule, work on eating at regular intervals. The first two are going well, the last two... not so much. *sigh*

In other news, my Saints won the frickin' Super Bowl! Boo-yah!!! WHO DAT?!

Every year we lose a few friends... it's getting depressing and making me feel even more isolated.
