After I lost my mind last night and cried for an hour to a point of an anxiety attack things are better today. We went and got dh's paycheck early this am and it s $253 more than I was expecting. They take out insurance in 2 chuncks of $200 rather than 1 chunk of $400. I also have $31 every 2 weeks coming out for some kind of savings account for medical emergencies. It goes towards a master card and then you can use it for co pays and prescriptions. This will be every helpful. After a year whatever you do not use is returned and you start all over. Sounds like a good plan to me.
Also, I will be paying 1 of my 3 mortgage payments that I owe along with $150 extra. Towards another payment that I should be able to make on Monday.
Gas was turned off on Monday so this is day 3. Its not bad at all. I am hanging the clothes out to dry on a line that cost me $5. I bought a hot plate, actually its a single electric burner and it cost me $7. It works GREAT. DH grilled up some steak and chicken and I fried up some hamburger on my new burner. We will end up eating better this way...LOL
and best of all..DH GOT HIS RAISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are giving him his base pay plus $3 and hour for every hour he turns in. So if he works a full 40 hour week the way he should his paychecks will be $520 a week. And if he squeezes in more it will be even better. I am so excited, this is the most he has ever made. Of course tho, bills are bigger now and we have that dang health insurance every month coming out.
Thanks all!!! I am really inspired by so many of yoU!

Great update, Courtney! I just love your positive attitude. When Life gives you Lemons, you make Lemonade! :-D The electric burner is a GREAT idea, one that I'm sure others on the list will benefit from! Keep up the fantastic job!
Congrats on DH's raise too!!
Pat :-D
