I dropped a bomb on my family tonight that might or might not go over so well. I have decided that we are going on a "financial fast" until Mark gets paid again in 2 weeks. Like most families we spent too much money during the holidays. Not only on presents but food, entertainment and extra things since we were all home for about two weeks. Mark wanted to know exactly what that meant. So here are the basic rules that we are going to follow for the fast.
1. daily prayer
2. no eating out (except next Saturday when his parents take us out for my birthday)
3. no spending money on extras
4. limiting shower times to 5 minutes
5. dishes every other day
6. laundry twice a week
The only exemptions to this two weeks is going to be my birthday dinner and Kai's scheduled horse back riding lesson. I hope that this all goes smooth and allows us to save some money as well!
