What a month! Where does money go? This month alone has cost us almost as much as Christmas did! We've had driving classes $350, 3 dentist appointments $60, 4 birthday parties $150+, school parties for valentine's day $20ish, Super Bowl Sunday $50+, friends over for dinner, school lunches $60, gas for our car $40 a week, our weekly grocery trips of over $250 a week and the list goes on and on. 
Is it worth it though? YES! Every penny. Saige is so excited about driving, my kids teeth are beautiful, they have friends now and are asked to birthday parties, it's always nice having good food for Super Bowl Sunday and spending time with friends, they have to eat lunch at school and it's nice knowing they will get a nice, hot meal when they aren't home, we have a reliable car to get us everywhere we go and we have food on the table.
Every month, I get so upset that we don't have more money but looking at things, we are very blessed to have the things we have. So, next time I start getting upset about our finances, I need to remember all the things we have been able to get and things we've been able to do because of my husband working as hard as he does and the money he DOES make. It would be nice to not have to choose between fixing up the house and a family vacation but we have more than a lot of people & I need to be happy and remind myself of that sometimes.
I have a good man. He is a GREAT provider!
