It’s all up to me

Well, I’m proud to say that I made it through last night w/little damage.  I had 2 sugar free puddings instead of one, but the extra 60 calories is fine w/me.  Reading some of your blogs and watching some mindless tv helped me through.  I hope tonight is much easier.

I’m still stressing w/the house building decision which leads me to believe this isn’t the time.  We haven’t even been quoted a price but I’m guessing it’s going to be a stretch to afford it and I’m too big of a scaredy-cat to rush into a decision like this.  I think that is part of what contributed to my difficulty last night, being overwhelmed and stressed, so I’m going to assume that we’re not going to build right now unless they quote us some unbelievably low price…either way it’s win-win.

Crunching all of these numbers, though, has turned me into an idiot.  About 10 times today I kept telling the kids “on your test tomorrow” (it’s Friday…you cannot imagine the panic on kids’ faces when they think their test is a day earlier) and then when I got my haircut I tipped my hairdresser 40%.  Don’t get me wrong, I love her and she does a great job, but 40%!!!!  Can’t you see why I’m stressed about sticking to a budget when I overtip like this~!

The good news is I got in 40 minutes on the treadclimber before I got my haircut, so the workout is done for today.  Hopefully I’ll be in bed in about 4 1/2 hours, I can make it that long.  The weather was gorgeous, the kids were good at school and my son brought home a note from his teacher proclaiming that he had an awesome day (it’s his 3rd so far this year, YAY!)  Yes, life is good.

Here’s hoping the good trend lasts.  Have a great night!
