A Case of the "Mondays"

Wow, did I have a case of the "Mondays" today! I absolutely hate Mondays because it means Paul has to work the next 5 days. I truly miss him during the day and wish he could be a stay-at-home Dad, but we haven't exactly figured out how to make the money situation work if he stays home...lol!

I am really don't have a lot to post today about my debt-free mission. I have made out my plan of "attack" for the grocery store this week, just not sure which day I am going to have time to go shopping. And I promise to explain my Save $10,000 in 2009 Challenge when I am not so tired. I definitely think that it is possible, even for people like Paul and I who do not have a whole lot of extra expenditures, such as Starbucks and going to lunch at work.
