pretty good weekend

well all weekend long i tried not to check my bank account...just because i know i have my house payment to pay these coming up weeks and i was scared to see how much i was short...it usually takes two paychecks for our house payment...well all weekend long we did pretty good...one time we were going to go out to eat but i though wait, i have food at home to make so i did...that's a great change for me...
the one day we did mess up was Friday...we ended up going out to eat after work at a Chinese place and it was like $35.00....uughgh and it wasn't even that good...i felt so guilty afterwards...GOSH I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN HOW GUILTY I FELT....
well than yesterday i felt really good...i had the day off of work which i planned for a while to go to a job fair...well i went in the morning and did my thing...well than in the afternoon i decided to pick up my daughter early and still leave the baby with my mom...than i decided i was gonna take my daughter somewhere where she could go swimming...i could of taken her to our local water park but i was thinking gosh if i go than it's gonna be like 24.00 dollars for me and than like 12.00 for her...plus paying for the lockers and than of course swimming always makes you hungry...so i would of ended up spending 50.00 i didn't have...than i started thinking or i could take her to the local pool by my mom's house and it's only .50 cents each....but than in my head i knew how much she loved the water park...
so than i thought why am i being so silly...i can take her to the pool and she will still have a blast...so i took her and guess what ...SHE HAD A BLAST!!!...she loves it when it's just me and her...so we swam and acted silly and the best part is...THEY DON'T CHARGE ANYMORE....so we did all that for FREE...
so here i was going to spend 50.00 that i didn't have and shouldn't spend and i changed my way of thinking...i felt so proud...
