My younger daughter has been home sick two days in a row - low grade temp and generally run-down. She's not a high maintenance sickling and likes to be left alone (she's perfectly happy to lay in my bed and watch TV or read), so all in all it was a productive two days.
My car is in for rear brakes and an oil change. $350 which is right at what the balance is for extraneous things for the next two-week period.
DH has lost 18 pounds in the past ten weeks during this Fitness class at the in-house gym where he works. He is feeling better physically, eating much better and is going to take the 12 week class which costs $360 (he had planned on paying $120 on 1/1, 2/1 and 3/1). Just got an email if he pays by next Friday the 17th he can save 10%. I'll take the money from the savings account (and we're anticipating cash gifts at Christmas) and deal with it this way because $36 saved is still $36. My attitude is changing, the old me would have frittered away the opportunity to SAVE $36 just to leave the money in the savings account.
One of my goals for 2011 is to work smarter, not harder. I'll count this as my first practice for this mentality. And $36 is $36.
Working smarter, not harder and still sick kids
