Anyone else paid the 1st and 15th or the 15th and 30th of each month?

Why does it seem that when you are faced with a two and half week time frame between paychecks the earth stands still? I honestly thought that this coming Wednesday was April 1st and I would be getting paid. I guess I am playing a pre-April fools day prank on myself and a mean one at that. This next week and a half is going to be a true show of determination and will power to stay within the budget and avoid plastic like the plague. I can feel my weakness coming on stronger than ever and having a relapse against my plasectomy.

Our cash has been divided up into the correct categories, grocery money spent, blow money gone, entertained by entertainment, and the vehicles have had their gas thirst quenched. Maybe it’s the idea that I know my bank account is at $0.00, the first time in a long LONG time it has ever been there. It is a very unsettling feeling to know that there is NO money. Thankfully we have our emergency fund so that if something truly does happen we are covered.

8 days and counting….I hate Mondays.
