Learning disipline and being blessed

So as many of you know, our family has been on a tight budget since last January.  Jeremy finally took me serious when I said I needed him to take away my credit cards.  It used to be such a sore subject to talk about but I find it rather easy to joke around now.  I have a problem of shopping, I enjoy it and there is nothing wrong with that but I have to learn to stay in line and not to go over board.  If I would find  something on sale that I didn't need I would stand there until I thought of someone who could use it just so I could buy it.  I know some of you think I'm crazy but it was so hard to get on a real budget.  Jeremy and I have gone back and forth kinda on one but not really.  And let me state for the record, Jeremy never spends money so yes I can honestly say it was all me.  It finally got out of hand and we put ourselves on a strict budget.  It has been almost ten months now and I feel so much better and less stressed. I don't feel so guilty now when we have a lesson at church about debt.  Looking back I think we were being prepared for many things, one is a new addition to our family that we would not know about until months later and all the medical bills that have come from that.  My testimony has grown so much stronger about getting out of debt.  Does that mean I will never enjoy shopping, no but it does mean that I will think twice maybe three or four times before I buy something and I will make sure we can afford the item.  Recently Breckin has turned one and all you mothers know what that means, NO MORE FORMULA! Yay! We have decided since grocery prices on other things have been going up we would still allow for the same amount as if we were buying formula but use it on other items we need that have gone up in price. So I get our cash out every Friday which means by every Thursday I am usually running very low.  We ran out of milk for Breckin so I needed to go to the store and buy some more, which is sometimes hard because I see all the things that I am "missing out on".  There were some other items that I needed but I could live with out.  Like some cleaning items, not that I really wanted to spend money on them but I have been running low on cleaning supplies and just get by with what I have.  Just makes cleaning a little less convenient, my favorite item that I don't buy any more is Chlorox wipes.  I do it the old fashion way with a rag and soap.  Any ways I dropped Savannah off at preschool and checked my money pouch to see how much I had left over from this week, I had ten dollars.  I decided I would just put the money in my wallet since I didn't need my pouch which separates my money in different categories.  To my surprise when I opened my wallet I found THIRTY dollars.  I don't remember putting it there, I can't think of where I would have had it left over from.  I teared up because ten months ago I would not have felt as grateful for the thirty dollars, I know that Heavenly Father blesses us when we are trying our hardest.  We might not be perfect but I know if we will try he will help us with the rest.  And yes I did spoil myself, I purchased a new sink scrubber and Mr. Clean magic eraser for the shower (something I have been wanting to try because we have awful hard water). Don't get me wrong we are still enjoying life we are just trying to get in a better situation. 
Thank you Jeremy for being so patient with me! I know if you were not married to me you would have a million dollars in the bank:) But your life would stink with out me to entertain you and cause stress in your life:) Love you!
