This is the first day in many weeks that those kids that had school all got up and ready without any aches and complaints. I didn't have to take temperatures, medicate, or anything of the sort. Just make lunches and say good-bye! The high-schooler has an Institute Day and is sleeping in, so I don't need to drive anyone to school. Yay for PJs and coffee on a cold, snowy morning.

Spending recap for Sat/Sun:

$41.10 Auto Zone (new windshield wiper blades/headlight)
$9.86 Ace Hardware (rental property repair)
$24.00 Red Lobster (DH and I had a date, that was after coupon and gift card applied - $15.05 food, $7.95 tip)
$8.08 CVS (Benedryl and Sunday paper)
$2.30 Dominick's for groceries after $16.50 in coupons.

Cupboards and gas tanks are full, so no spending this week.

A friend altered younger daughter's dress for free. I'll pick up a Starbuck's gift card for her. Saturday is Father-Daughter Dance and I told daughter I'd give $10 towards her manicure. 8th Grade Drama is getting very old. At least there are lots of positives outside of school to concentrate on for her: Science Fair, Confirmation, Graduation.

Life is good. Off to catch up on the blogs.
