Journal Entry for January 21, 2008 Mood
Monday, January 21, 2008

 

 Hi Everyone, Tomorrow hubby has given me money to open up and saving account for this year Christmas. My commitment is to deposit it each week, if I spend it on other things, well I just will not have what ever amount I have personal promise to saved. So, he has left it all up to me. Christmas or not, it will be my own doings...Oh! Lordly mercy me, can I keep my fingers off that money and keep my promise to my hubby that I can do this. I know I'm not a child but I sure can spend money not only on myself but the family members too. When I buy for my family I call it and "I love You Gift,"   All I can say for now is to stay away from the stores and come straight home from the Y...I know I can achieve this because I have faith within myself to over come bad habits.  Gee whiz, I feel like the little red train trying to get up the hill saying "toot, toot, I can do this, I can do it." finally he did and I will also...Good Night!

    Of course you can do it, shop now everything is 60-80% off you will be able to get most of it and still have some to spend on yourself heehee, I know I'm a bad influence my husband always says I know you said you liked to shop but you didn't say you liked to buy, I tell him to call my grandma, she loves him to piece and really it is her fault since she has been taking me shopping since I could walk LOL
    Hugs,Love & God bless

    Good luck...and yes you can do this! I too used to have a problem with spending. Sometimes I still do, but not as bad as it once was. The hardest thing I ever had to do was bring the bills to my husband and ask for help! That was very humbling for me. Your husband is trusting you and you need to honor that trust! This is a big responsibility and you can handle it if you keep yourself in line. Self discipline is something the hardest thing we ever do in this life. I am wishing you only the best.
