About Me:

Turning a New Leaf

I am a mom of 3 and became in charge of the family finances. Unfortunately, I grew up in a family that never taught me about the virtues or lessons of money. The ironic thing is that they are highly educated people that always tried to keep up with the Joneses, but were always in debt. It's the constant feeling of just scraping by, but looking good on the surface was more important than having money. I've had to self teach and also unlearn many of the mistakes that were passed down from my family, including toxic fears about money or fears about having it. Over the last almost 9 years, we have paid off over $40K of consumer debt. I am still learning about money and also hope to master the dicipline part of it. I dream of owning a small house with lots of land where I can grow a garden and eventually pass it on to my children.

So, my cat has pulled a Darth Vader and well, gone to the dark side. She is no longer the happy cat. She's let jealousy and spite get the best of her...the dark side. With this dark side, she has decided to pee in the corner of the room where we like to use the computer. We are now spending money on various carpet treatments (it's starting to add up). I am now contemplating getting the special pet vacuum, which was not in the budget, but we cannot keep going to the grocery store to get a rental one. Also, we will have to most likely get another car until we can afford it. ughhh. That means saving, searching, and also paying for the registration fee. Anyway, the plus side is that we got "get $300" in the mail this week, so that rocks Smile if we open a checking account with a different bank. I think we will do that. I'm thinking the free $300 would at least pay for the special vacuum cleaner.

Have you taken kitty to the vet to make sure it's not a medical issue? Or tried adding an extra litter box? Sorry you're having to deal with this.

FrugalTexan75 the cat is fine in terms of health, she doesn't like the new baby. Everything was fine until the baby came home. She first peed on my husbands clothes when he was new to her, then she did stuff like this with both older kids when they were born (on their blankets, clothes, anything that would be in her reach). She is not allowed in the bedrooms. she will eventually get used to the new addition. It's just gross and the overpriced pet cleaners don't really work.
