Doings

October 12th, 2013 at 12:00 am


*sigh of relief* Another week done.

I am always happy when Friday rolls around and DH rolls in with an elevated mood. I was without kids today (all the boys had plans with different friends, and the girls had school and separate afternoon plans).

It was pay day today and I finished paying the last of the bills due for October. Smile Decided to throw every last extra cent onto high school tuition for the remainder of the month.

I was unrealistic to think that $185 would take care of groceries for the week/gas for both cars/ and other miscellaneous spending. it was more in line with $225 (so I deposited my extra $40 cash for breakeven). I stocked up on $.80 Healthy Choice soups and $.40 Kraft Mac and Cheese just because the prices were good. I do have enough meals now for 10 days and will bring dinner over to our friends next Tuesday.

We are going to the Morton Arboretum tomorrow with my parents to see the scarecrows the Scouts decorate, ride the tram, and lunch at Culvers or Steak and Shake. Should be a very nice outing, looking forward to it immensely. Then we've got a soccer game and Mass, and another soccer game on Sunday. Should be low spend, high fun.

$5 cheese pizza tonight for dinner from Little Ceasar's for the boys who are home. Didn't feel at all like cooking.

    Do your DSs cook? We started ours in elementary on canned tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches; step 2 Mac 'n cheese. By Middle Sch they were responsible for Saturday lunch or dinner. In HSch they had fun grilling/BBQ with dad as one more one-on-one time and I've always appreciated one day out of the kitchen.

    How was the Arborteorum? I remember driving by on my way to work and always meant to stop in on a weekend and never did. Now I am sorry.

    Hope you had a great weekend.
