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!

Taking a vacation day tomorrow..
Too bad it's not for fun. My DH's grandma is having some medical issues and we'd like to go see her. So, tomorrow off work, back to work on Thursday, then off Friday! The only good thing about this week is that it's short =) Happy 4th of July to everyone. Don't spend too much on fireworks, but don't deny yourself any fun either.

Big financial change
We ended up buying a second car here recently. I was going to need transportation for going to school after work and having my husband be able to run by the daycare to pick up the kids or once school starts, daycare and by school. It's a used car, but of course we couldn't pay outright so we financed it. So pretty much taking the risk of buying a vehicle so I can attend school and hopefully improve our finances eventually once I receive my bachelor's degree.
Pretty much, I haven't been able to stop using the credit cards yet as I was scraping all of our spare money from our paycheck to use for tags & title on the car. Baby steps, right? First, admit you have a problem =) I'm so there.

Finally Back
I'm back and hopefully strong enough to continue my push to eliminate my debt. I will be posting with my current debts as soon as I figure them out. I honestly haven't counted it up since around January.
