I've been sooooooo good about not spending any money. Soooooo good. But I slipped off the wagon twice. A tiny slip.
The first time was last week-I took T to the dentist and she was a total super star. Afterwards she asked for a Starbucks....I caved.
She enjoyed a vanilla steamed milk and I enjoyed...nothing :) That's right, nothing. I was good and didn't get myself anything because I have coffee at home :)
The 2nd time was on Tuesday. It was late, we were exhausted...ok, I was exhausted. The thought of making dinner was making me even more exhausted. McRib is back for a limited time.....You see where this is going.
With 30 days of nothing coming to a close I feel good. I surprised myself. I think this is something that has really changed the way I view what I "need" vs. what I "want".
We also donated some cash to Oxfam and the Red Cross to help with relief efforts in Haiti.
As a result of this little study of my willpower, we were able to donate more than we would have been ;)

It's really been a powerful experience, hasn't it? We definitely need to get together soon. Izzie was inconsolable the other day because "it's taking forever and ages for Nora to come over and play!"
so my little trite comment is, "aren't you glad you've got a wagon?" I, too, fell off twice. Both were on a Thursday night which I have now really learned is the night I'm ready to fall apart. The lesson is that I can now expect Thursday night limb numbing fatigue and do a better job of making Thurs. a success. (I texted my husband and had him bring home carryout - he didn't object in either situation!). I think you did a great job and I enjoyed reading about it on your blog. I'm gearing up to write my "wrap up" too.
