This week was the beginning of the hardest part of the challenge for me. It killed me to know that I had money in the bank and could not go spend it on Black Friday!!! The shopper that lie dormant in me quickly emerged the night before and when I realized that I was not going to be going shopping, I almost cried. I didn't realize how much it would affect me until my husband said I was drooling over the t.v. ads. How pitiful??? I hope I can handle Christmas!!! Our budget is $100 a kid......it's gonna be so hard!!! Wish me luck!!!

GOOD LUCK!! Think of it as how fortunate you are to have money to spend on your children since there are so many less fortunate than ourselves. I know you can do it!!
