Excuse Me For A Moment

I was having a small moment of complete and utter freak out on Friday.  I apologize.  Since then, I have had a discussion with my husband and let him know what my frustrations were.  We've both agreed that going to a cash only basis will help stop overspending (or at least slow it).  Starting on Friday (payday).  I will put our cash into its various piles and try to slow the bleeding.  My paycheck Our budget for the two weeks looks somthing like this:

Groceries/Food: $280
Household/Misc: $54
Gas: $80
Allowance: $6
Emergency: $25

Total: $445

This is just the basic budget.  It changes depending on how many hours I've worked in the payperiod.  Anything above and beyond this amount, I'll be sending to the #1 debt on our list.  My husband's paycheck is dedicated to bill paying and such.
