March is over, and today is the first day of April.
New month, new goal.
March's goal was to make my house a home, and I'd like to say I did that. Last night as I was laying in bed it occured to me that the month I had dedicated to my house and my home, ended up becoming the month when the most changed in my home life - things that had nothing to do with decorating or nesting in my house. Maybe I am clairvoyant, or maybe it's just a weird coincidence, but at the end of the month when I was relaxing on the couch with the kids yesterday after a very eventful weekend, I felt for the first time in so long, like my house was my home again. Even though the only room I ended up really finishing was the kitchen.
So without really purchasing anything, I'm stamping this goal completed.
We're home.
This month's goal is to have a No Spend Month.
I am super nervous.
It's not that I love shopping {I actually hate shopping}, it's more just that I'm an impulsive asshole and I went to Starbucks three times in one day a couple months ago.
What if knowing I can't do that anymore makes me feel stifled and then halfway through the month I'm all YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO I WILL BUY ALL OF THE THINGS!!!
That might be dramatic, but also entirely possible.
Anyway, here's a short list of things I will miss:
-Cow Tails from the gas station
-Starbucks
-Everything that Target is, has, and represents
-Movie theatres
-Lunch from the best pizza place in the entire world
-Ordering pizza for the kids so I don't have to cook
-Chinese take out so I don't have to cook
Things I'm afraid of:
-Finding out I have no self control
-Cabin fever {not spending money basically means never leaving the house, right?!}
-Having to cook every. single. night. for the next month. Who can really be expected to do that?!
Anyway, wish me luck.
You can do it! It's only one month. Just keep at it and you'll do it!
