My Mom came to visit today. I guess it's been the past two years or so that she has been coming out to visit on her day off every couple weeks or so. Sometimes we miss a few weeks when there's lots going on for one of us.
We took Kenzie, Emily and Jaxon to the park for a picnic. It was fun.
I love when she comes to visit. And I feel so greatful that she and I are having a closer relationship as the years go on. And I'm glad the kids get to have a relationship with her too.
Jaxon calls her "Naaaa!" LOL You wouldn't think it'd be too hard for him to throw another syllable on there but I guess it is.
So, yesterday I was in a crummy mood. I couldn't figure out why. I just felt grouchy and unhappy.
Today was payday and in spite of the fact that we have been a little free and loose with the $$ lately I was able to pay everything that needed to be paid plus some extra to the debt snowball. But until I saw that, I was sure we had really blown it big time and THAT is what was causing my crummy mood yesterday.
I was having anxiety about money for the first time this year.
I couldn't believe it when I was able to see it for what it was. How many years did I choose to do that to myself?!?! What an idiot!
I need to remember that feeling and make sure it never happens again.
To paraphrase Dave Ramsey:
"If you don't tell your money where to go, it'll just leave!"
So very true.
So we have tightened the belts for the next two weeks. And then we're taking a big camping trip. Probably the last one for the summer.
It's been fun! But it sure eats up the extra funds that would make our snowball roll so much faster.

Fear is good for the gazelle. It's the motivation that gives them the necessary INTENSITY. Good job coaching yourself and keeping it all in perspective.
