I WAS expecting our first paycheck of the year to be smaller than usual
– according to news reports, we were not the only ones.
I was NOT expecting the pay cut to DEVASTATE my monthly finances
–as it did.
A few days were spent crying and worrying [over the huge loss].
One evening was spent frantically cutting [the family budget].
Sadly, my crafting budget was left on the cutting room floor.
5 HOURS were used to pour over pay stubs and bank statements,
– determined to find something I had missed.
I FOUND IT!
My discovery came at a cost.
In finding the missing funds I also found something
I hadn’t realized I was missing!
MY MIND!!!
(ok that’s not entirely true, I have had some sneaky suspicions.)
