Oh right, real life

The bliss from the raise, emergency fund, and suprise check in the mail was smudged today with real life.

First, partner misjudged the expense of the vet visit by $140.00. She forgot he needed his 3 year shots, and not the cheaper one year shots.

Then, when I was changing the budget to reflect this (lowering the emergency savings), I realized that I accidently left a line out of the budget for the cash I had taken out to pay the daycare provider. Even though its a regular expense, I completely forgot that to list it in my budget. So I thought we had $180.00 dollars more then we did for this pay period. Total miscalculations was 320.00. Ouch.

I eliminated some things from the budget I thought we could postpone, but the math is still not right. Not sure what I will do yet, but most likely take from the vacation savings money.

Sucks. Our fault. But this is why we are in debt---Doing a terrible job of managing our money.

I wish the feeling flush could have lasted a few days longer. But that is the reality: We are not flush.
