Eating an elephant sucks

 I have NO patience. Seriously. None.

It may very well be the reason that I have failed time and time again with this whole debt payoff. I lose focus and motivation and scrap the plan.

I am hoping that this blog and chronicaling my journey will help with that. Meanwhile, I'm not off to a FANTASTIC start. You see, I am days away from having my 3rd child. I am on maternity leave, and without a paycheck for the next 8 weeks.

Knowing this almost 10 months in advance, most people would save for such an event. Did I? Nope. Nothing. Nada. Awesome.

I think we'll be okay if we are extremely careful, but it sure isn't leaving a ton of room for that pesky little debt snowball that I am so excited about.  Even so, I have still managed to take care of a few small debts. I forgot to post this at the end of March, but here is where I landed at the end of the month.

Radiology    0/50
Fines          0/100
Old cable bill  200/200
Hospital    254/339
CC1            0/300
CC2              754/800

CC4               3000/ 3000

Van                    12,500/21,000
House               97,000/99,000

For a total of 
 
I am down a total of $1,151.00 for the month of March.

Trying hard to focus on progress and that whole "eating an elephant slowly" business, but ack. At this rate, it will take way too long.
