So, once again, it's been a month since I blogged last. Harvest is super busy, but the good news is that it should be over in about a week. Then the payroll will go way down, and I can concentrate on wading through the pile of papers that have sprung up all over my office. This year I am overwhelmed by the whole process, but I am already formulating plans for next year to make it a slightly easier process.
Meanwhile at home, money has become a huge issue. It is taking me longer than I thought it would to get used to the new pay schedule. Each pay period gets a little better than the last. Like, I haven't had to ask my mom to fill my car up at all between the 16th and now. Pay day is on Friday, and I have enough gas to get to work and back till then. I am trying to be the "tough mom," and say no to everything. I think starting this payday, I am just going to blame Dave Ramsey for everything. "Dave said no, it's not in the budget!" That always irritates them, but it shuts them up! Thanks, Dave!!
For any of you who don't know who Dave Ramsey is, he is a financial guru, who has helped thousands of people get out of debt forever! His Financial Peace University and Total Money Makeover programs are used around the country. He has his own radio talk show, and a show on Fox Business Network. And, he's funny. Gotta have the funny.
So I am working on my budget, and trying to start to say "NO!" to the girls again. And, with harvest ending, I promise to blog more often. As long as I don't get blown off the freeway this winter. Winds are bad, but God's got my back!
