Glad I found it...whew.....

Bookkeeping: Is the recording of financial transactions.


Thought I would share that information.  The past several weeks, I have noticed a significant difference as to our checkbook  vs the online statements from our bank. 


A) Problem


Solution:  Figure out problem


The error was the bank recorded MORE money, than I recorded in our checkbook.  While I agree this a GOOD problem to have, needless to say it is still a problem.  Plus, why would I be off a significant amount of money.  So, my 1st solution was to see what checks cleared in the future. ......waiting......
ok, all checks have cleared....now what?  HUM, bank account still reporting more money.....hum, Did I transfer into the checking account?  forget to record it.....NOPE!.....When I balanced last month....wait, did I balance my account last month....(searching...) What?...wait a sec....What??  I didn't balance our account since....February...are you kidding me....I swear I just did.  What in the world....  I have to keep track of Eldest's account (s) as well as our own...I'm responsible for our families financials......Oi!


 I can see the old gal's noggin isn't keeping up like she use to, time is creeping up on me. I could multi-task the heck out of our lives,  but more and more I'm finding that it is a struggle to keep all this information in my head.   Time for me to really use this "game box"...(aka desktop computer) and set up calendars, reminders...etc...Now if I can just remember.......lol
