2/18/11

I don't feel like I've been leading terribly well since we've gotten married.  I do okay in the small-scale day-to-day stuff, but larger vision execution has thus far not been a strength.  Switching to a primarily cash-based budget system needs to become a reality not simply for its practicality, but for it's consequential effect on casual spending.  We have a budget on paper, but I haven't a clue about whether we're sticking to it in real life... what numbers need to be adjusted, what things should be trimmed or brought under leaner control.
I know not to beat myself up too badly.  Since October: two moves, one vacation to PA, multiple bouts with sickness, OT at both work and church... we've been busy.  But that's exactly the problem, since I feel busy a lot but not particularly fruitful.  It feels like all I can do to keep up with the pace of life.
