I’ve spent no money this week. Well, not zero, but not enough so that when my husband asks me if I have cash on me, I can actually say, “yes!”
I wish I could say it’s because I’ve been living up to my frugal promise. Alas, the real reason behind my full wallet is that all week we’ve been sick. Sick as a dog, we pretty much didn’t leave our house sick.
And, I don’t do sick very well. Almost nothing makes me more crazy than not being able to go anywhere or do anything (except go to the doctor). Add a sick toddler to the mix and I thought I was going to lose my shit all week.
The clincher, though is that we’re on spring break this week, and with no schedule I only have one option to keep my sanity (and my wallet from emptying): Go visit my parents.
I’m hoping their generosity of time and funds will get me through what otherwise would be another very long week.

I was sick this past week, too. And spent a boatload of $$ by buying stuff from online stores. Unfortunately, for me, sick did not help my frugality vows.
