I am a 25-year-old single, working mother of 2. I've got a lot resting on my shoulders, and I'm embarking on a journey to improve my finances and be able to enjoy life with my family without the constant stress of money problems. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired!

Progress
Wow we actually made progress on the BoA CC this month! It's amazing what can happen when you actually try to do something! lol anyways, just a brief update for this card: it's now standing at $4886.79! This card had been inching along before, so this is a nice change to actually see a dent taken out of it.

Bonus!
Woohoo! DH is getting a bonus! They sent out a little estimator and after taxes we'll prolly see $110. Not much by any means, but hey that's WAY better than nothing. And of course it's good for the employee morale =) Anyway, we had already decided that any money from his bonus was going straight to the BOA CC, and that's still what we're planning to do! Soon as we get it next week on the 24th, I'm making a payment =D

Ahhhh...
Kids are spending the night at their grandparents and it's been kinda quiet. But nice =) Everyone needs to give up their kids every once in a while!
Anyways, Chase finally updated our account and of our $900 payment, only $125.75 went to principal! lol that's just bad!!
Let's see... what else is going on... bleh. Just paid some bills. We may be taking a mini-vacation around the 25th & 26th. Planning on traveling up a little ways and checking out Silver Dollar City. We haven't been in a while (5 years actually... I was preggo at the time lol) and DH wants to take me and have a weekend away. I don't expect to spend much money besides gas and snackage. We haven't decided if we're staying overnight or not though, so that could be a little more.
At work, DH should find out soon if the company will be giving out a bonus for last quarter, hopefully we'll find out tomorrow. I'm not eligible, and this is the first time he will be, so he's anxious =). We've both only heard good things, but with the economy you never know. We've both decided already that if he does get anything, it will go straight to BoA CC! Woohoo now that's a bonus! =D

Happy 4th!
Happy Independence Day America! We plan to possibly take the kids to go see Wall-E, and after that our neighborhood is having a block party and they're blocking off the middle road to shoot of some fireworks. Should be an interesting day... meet some of our neighbors and get some free entertainment!
And of course I'm late on the end-of-month update... So maybe I'll spend some time doing that too. Maybe =)
