I sent out an update yesterday about the cheerleading costs for DD. My sister has already almost paid for the uniform but there is still going to be about $500 due this month between camps and music and extra classes. My mom immediately gave me $130 now and will give me another $150 at the end of the month. My sister than gave me another $300 to cover expenses. Plus I have $150 in the fundraising account. So her cheerleading is paid for. That is a relief for me. Now there is no doubt in my mind that I will be able to stick to the budget and get the mortgage caught up! I am so excited!

Plus my mom said that they could help with my sons car, which is in the shop. So that is a relief too. But we will have do something before winter since he doesn't have any heat.

I have been keeping track of how much I should have been saving from gas under budget, prescriptions under budget, etc. Not only will I be able to get the mortgage c aught up, but I will be able to pay myself back for those things! Of course, something will probably happen betweennow and then, but for now, I am on cloud 9!
