Life gets in the way

That saying is very true in our home this weekend. J came to me last night to let me know that our basement door had crumbled and needed to be replaced. One door, a can of paint, and a new lock cost around $250.00. Combine that with the $150 I spent on clothes to return to work, I spent $400 of the cash I had stashed away to snowball our last credit card. Shoot!!! I guess the positive way to look at it is that I got 11 items at Ross for $150 (great) and at least the door is done.

I tried making my own baby wipes today. Moral of the story.....cheap Dollar General paper towels will not hold up well enough to make wipes! I just have to stick with my Sam's Club box of wipes for $15.00.

Thanks to everyone that is either following the blog or linking to the blog. I have steadily been working on the new site (www.debtfreehome.org) and will be excited to get everything finished. I hope to have some really interesting things and pass on information that has started leading me down the path to living debt free.

Have a wonderful evening.
