Pay Period Review {Feb 1-14}

We interrupt this regularly scheduled review to admit that the budgeting attempts went out the window!  I find that its harder to budget and be responsible when we have more money than we are used to having.  Now that our tax refund has been mostly spent/enjoyed/earmarked for bills, and we have made it past two birthdays and Valentines Day we are actually happy to be back to our normal financial situation.
