It's probably dumb timing since I'm on maternity leave and thus making less money each month but I decided not too long ago that I seriously need to pay off the debt I've accumulated on my credit cards. For a long time I've basically been ignoring it because it just seemed like such an overwhelming number but that's obviously not very smart as interest just keeps piling up and paying the minimum each month will get you nowhere. I changed one of my credit cards to a lower interest one and I transferred some money from another one to a credit card that gave me 10 months with no interest in which I will try to pay off as much as I can.
As much as I want to pay off my debt, every time I have some extra money which I should put on my credit cards, a voice in my head STILL says that there's no point putting the money on them since they're going to take FOREVER to pay off. It's a constant struggle. And very annoying. I made a chart of how much I owe and each month I'm writing down the new balances and how much was paid off that month because I'm a very visual person and seeing that I am actually getting it paid off will hopefully motivate me to continue to do so. It's going to take me years I'm sure but I just have to keep thinking that one day I'm going to have so much extra money because I won't have to pay minimal payments. Oh and I'm dead set on not using my credits cards for anything except the direst of emergencies. It's tough but I'm an adult and I seriously need to get out of debt. Did I mention my husband and I have separate bank accounts and he owes nothing on his ONE credit card? Ugh. I wish :(
For the last two days Cody has had bad diarrhea. I've never experienced this with him before. Yesterday there was 8 diapers worth of it and today there was 4. He's seemed fairly normal besides not wanting to eat much. He cries whenever I change him now because he has a horrible diaper rash now which was bleeding the last time I changed him. I'm putting creams and stuff on it but clearly it's going to take a little while to heal. Hopefully tomorrow it will be gone. After his nap today was the worst as I went to get him and he was crying and his pants had leaked and it was all over his bed. Gross yes but I keep telling myself I'd rather deal with this much poop instead of this much puke.
