I haven't had opportunity to look at the account closely, but we somehow managed to overdraw our account by $287. I remember when that happened to us the first time. I thought I was going to die. I was so embarassed, I cried and cried. Then I was angry and blamed it on everything and everyone. My husband got an advance on his paycheck which meant the company he worked for knew what we'd done. I was truly mortified.
The truth is, money is a tough thing. I can watch it like a hawk for weeks and months at a time and even though I know I shouldn't, as soon as I let my guard down and decide to breath a little, this happens--every time. I imagine some time today, I'll have to toughen up and look at the account to see where we went wrong. We'll have to tighten up again. I don't know how. We haven't been out in I don't know how long. The most deviant thing we've done is Burger King. We have a school booster card that we can get a free Whopper with the purchase of a Whopper. We buy a triple Whopper, get the second whopper free and share the spare patty. We share a drink and a fry. Pretty ingenious, I'd say.
Well, before I get into my day, I better go see why we are overdrawn. I quickly peeked to be sure it wasn't a crime being committed, it wasn't. It was just us, thinking we could actually live like regular human beings. I just don't know where else to cut back.
