Summer is over and we're just getting started

Well, summer is over and my son is now in kindergarten. He loves it! The only thing that is hard for him is that I work in the evenings about an hour after I pick him up from school. So I miss seeing him and he is sad that I'm gone. He likes school and his teacher. I like her too! She is cute and fun. Thinks the children are good kids. I am trying to remodel my house and work and be a wife and mother. Sometimes it can be so crazy. I have to take a step back and breathe long deep breaths. Sometimes if I feel too crazy I find a quiet place and pray to know what is most important. Then I can move on knowing it is in God's hands.
I made an incredible realization today. I have had hints throughout the years, but It really hit me hard today. I was looking at my bank account and noticing that we had overdrawn not once, but 6 times not one time this year, but this is the 2nd time. My husband already talked to the bank about the fees, but we can't do it again. It's like 10 hours of work gone within a day or two. I realized that I need to be more responsible with the family finances and my spending habits. So I am grounding myself from credit cards and limiting my food budget and withdrawing cash for shopping so I can only spend what I have. I really want to buckle down to see if I can. My husband is kind about it and is grateful that I have come to this humbling realization. He has been incredibly impatient with me. I'll just keep swimming hopefully with my head above water!
