Saving...it's almost like the good ol' days again

I've been practicing something. I've been practicing saving my paycheck and living solely on Hegazelle's earnings. I was able to do it for the whole month of August! That was exciting to me. Not to mention it was a helpful boost to our car fund. So I'm gonna keep working at this- I may have to use my check occasionally if work is slow for HG, but whenever possible I wanna do our budget without it.

Meanwhile, my lawn guys quit showing up. Which would be understandable if I was a dead beat, but that's not the case. They took the last check and haven't returned. So we dusted off our lawn mower and I've mowed the last 2 weeks. I almost feel like I'm in debt again since the first thing I did when we paid it all off was hire these guys to do the yard. I'm trying to decide which I like better: saving the $80 a month or having someone else do the work. The jury's still out on that one.

The Baby Gazelle got a free twin bed 2 weeks ago. Waved good-bye to the crib and diapers in the same week. Free bed and no more diapers- sounds like money in my pocket.
