One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Minimize Expenses

Following Instagram posts can make you feel like other moms are either made of money or have sugar daddies funding their lifestyles. I can assure you. I have neither. There is nobody funneling money into my household except for me. And because I was an economics major and my dad was a banker, I am keenly aware of cash flow, assets and liabilities, and expenditures. Still, sometimes, I forget how expensive life can be. It's not because I lied about having a sugar daddy or have a trust fund.  It is because I am frugal. Indeed, being conscious of expenditures is integrated into my lifestyle.  I know that it is gauche to discuss money and yet, I feel compelled to share some thoughts.

"Stop while you're ahead."-Anonymous

I should have left work early, begun my walk/run earlier and been in bed before midnight.  If I had done those things, perhaps I would not be in Chaton's World. Things in my world tend to be chaotic. So, being exhausted while typing on my computer is par for the course. Perhaps if I stop work earlier, I might go to bed earlier.

Oh well, like Scarlett O'Hara said, I'll deal with that tomorrow... Tomorrow is another day!
