Emergency funds....and schooling

Ok, so what exactly constitutes an emergency...?

So I have a little bit of cash set aside, not much, and certainly not the 6 months I'm supposed to have set aside, but how many people do, really? 

And I've been trying to get my kids more active in things, as they are not as physically fit as I'd like them to be. I mean, they are both in dance, and my younger one is in karate, but because of the nature of food today, most kids are not as healthy as they could be.

That being said, I was in Blockbuster of all places when I spotted it. A Wii Fit.  I've been keeping an eye out for months for one. They are very hard to find you know. I actually managed to walk away from it. I drove home. I talked with the wife. 

"It's not in the budget", we agreed.
"We shouldn't do it.", we agreed.
"We have an emergency fund", we agreed.
"There are impossible to find.", we agreed.
"We really want it.", we agreed.
"The kids need the exercise", we agreed.

I bought it.

It's a blast! That thing is SOO much fun! All four of us have our Mii's doing Yoga poses, and hula-hoops, and tightrope walking, and all kinds of things. 

Regrets? None now...I may have one if the car breaks down in the coming months, but right now we're doing good. :)


(P.s. The reason for delays in posts? School! Argh! It's kicking my butt. Last week I had one week to research and write a 3,000 word paper. Now this week I have to research and write ANOTHER one....Argh!  The end is near....March, I think. I'm waiting on the school to give me the exact class schedule.)

Hey there - sorry I missed you New Year's.

Any updates on "The Nephew"?

I love my Wii Fit -- except for the fact that if I don't use it for awhile, it starts to nag. I don't like it when it takes a tone with me.
