My biggest thing I wanted to save money for was my oldest sons car. He is an outstanding student, a hell of a kid and a all around good person. He was my rock when my hubby went to Iraq, he jumped in and took over some chores to help me out without me asking.....he was only 12 when Dad went to war. He has always been on the principals honor roll and even on Presidential honors. I wanted to get him a car, not a new one but something nice to start off his new chapter in his life when he turns 16 which is Feb 24th Well last night I bought him a 94 Grand Am, Red, 5 speed....very nice condition. Even though I havent saved as much as my glove compartment says cause Im on the patch, I have saved in so many other ways. I had the money for the car and I bought it while he was at his job last night. This is gonna be harder than my quit to keep a secret til his bday in Feb. Right now its parked at a friends house til the big day. We are gonna put a big bow on it and shock him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant wait, he knows when I am hiding something so I hope I can keep this a secret! Rewards come in different ways, this is a reward cause when I am one day older than I would have been if I wouldnt have quit smoking I can remember the day he got his first car.

Dawn: That is SO great -- I know how long you've been planning this. I'm not sure who will be the most excited -- the recipient or the giver! It's a toss-up. What a wonderful thing you've done for your boy. My birthday is also in February (we February babies are the best, you know), so you tell your son happy birthday -- when the time comes, though. Don't go blowing your secret now. You're doing SO well -- I'm proud of you and your progress.

That is soooo cool. The money is better spent elsewhere than on cigarettes. I'm sure he'll be really surprised. Don't let the cat out of the bag until his birthday. Make sure you take a picture of his face when he sees his present. What a caring Mom you are.
