Breaking even in 6 months - Week 1/Day 2

So tonight I broke out the bikes, aired up the tires and attempted to put our schwinn joyrider on the back.  That would make anyone laugh I am sure, but only made me mad.  I was very unsuccessfull in attempting to place it on my bike, so I guess I will have to take the car tomorrow, as I have no other way of putting it on.  My husband works weekend evenings, so he will be too tired when he comes home to mess with it and will sleep most of the day tomorrow, so another attempt will be made tomorrow afternoon.  Will keep you posted.

As for our paycheck, we always get the opportunity to find out what we will receive before we get it.  Usually it posts online on monday and we get it thursday.  So here is the run down for this week.  Did we make the 1300 dollar goal?  Well no, there was a mess up on the check and 11 hours were not put on the check as it was suppose to be.  So now the delima is do we ask for a paper check, which will get my husbands boss in trouble because he forgot to put the hours in, or do we deal with it and over draft the account.

What would you do?

We have not made a decision yet.  As it stands we have 1030 dollars and we have to pay 1000 to rent, that leaves us 30 dollars to pay our car payment and gas for the next week.  Not a good boat to be in.  Could we make it to next pay day.  Yes, if we over draft our account.  The bank will cover up to 300 over drawn if written as a check, but they charge us a NSF fee.

As for my journey for fun:

We made chocolate chip cookies today.  I also folded and had put a away four loads of  laundry, swept and vacuumed the hard wood and tile floors, throughly cleaned my kitchen, and made a pumpkin pie.  So I was able to get some cooking and cleaning done, this does make me feel better.  It bothers me when my house is in disarray.  And also it was fun to get on a bicycle for the first time in probably close to 20 years.  Wow, it was pretty funny watching me try and keep my balance, I was very unsure...but it came back to me.  No pro mind you and I am a little nervous about having my children behind me, but none the less, the more practice the better!
