[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 574122, member: 1514"] Billy ....not Jamie...!!!! Jamie lives 5 hours away. Heaven help me if I had to take him in too...lol. Cory has moved back home...sigh. I figured it wouldnt last long. First break ups dont seem to take. And yes, the issues between Billy and Tony are two separate issues. Totally. My brain just runs together at that time in the morning. It wasnt so odd though to talk to Tony that early because he does get up at 4 to go to work. He had started to move around getting restless and I could tell he was about to wake up before his alarm went off. He normally does anyway. It wasnt like I was waking him up in the middle of the night...lol. He doesnt think though about saving monthly for things like yearly taxes or putting 50 a month aside to save in case we have car problems. Those are the types of things I am talking about budgeting for. No we arent having major issues with paying for monthly bills. Im talking about writing words on envelopes like Car repairs, Car Registration, Vet Bills, clothing, entertainment, Xmas, Savings, etc and then putting so much each week into the envelope and he can put it up in case we need it.
