I have 18 days and counting to prepare for this spring break. I am excited and very nervous. The economic state has caused me to have to rethink a lot of things for this trip. I spent some time balancing the checkbook today and am not fond of my findings.

I wish I could be a kid again and not have to worry about the financial impact of a vacation. I wish the economy was in a better state and I didn't have to worry about the finanicial impact of a vacation.

On the up side. I started new hours at work and that will be a tremendous help but I can't help but worry about the next few months.
