Setbacks this week?

What setbacks are we all facing in the next week or so?


I am getting paid on Friday but instead of my normal bills to pay I have to save for my taxes next weekend which I estimate to cost about $250-300. Then I have my sons KG registration which is $75. I just feel like these are setbacks in my budget but my DH is due for good overtime at the end of March so that paycheck will get us caught back up. Nothing will be late but I like to pay certain bills with certain paychecks and I am frustrated I can't do that this time.

I'm almost all out of diapers. I usually buy diapers in bulk to save money. I look for the big sales. But this week I'm out of diapers with no money to find a sale. Bummer! But that's about it for setbacks this week. DH gets paid tomorrow and I'll need to do a grocery trip. We have NO food...and when I say no food, I mean NO food. We are having campbell's chicken noodle soup for dinner. No crackers either.

Setback? Well, as long as my work is actually busy this week -- the setback we are looking at is a continuation from this past week when we have to make an extra trip to the city for Dh to get the stitches out of his hand.

Nothing crazy, just my share of a bday present for mom ($60). Of course I have to pay the whole $100 and wait for sister to reimburse me $40 (she is a student in university and only works parttime so I'm picking up the extra here!).


I also didn't account for a few annual bills that go through on the CC (Norton antivirus renewal, dog tag renewal). There is room on it, it just means that my dreams of being debt free April 1 look more like May 1. Oh well, still ahead of schedule.
