(1) Always double check your bills. I was charged twice for the deposit on the new insurance policy on the rental property. Credit of $71.50 should be returned in 3-5 business days.

(2) Older daughter is having oral surgery (two teeth) pulled on Friday to prepare for braces. Original quote included three teeth, and one fell out last night. My savings: $34 Less: Tooth fairy payout.

(3) NSD #2 for the week. Did a free Chess Class for the boys at the library and then a park playdate for the youngest. Lacrosse camp continues despite the heat, but it was a free camp and ends tomorrow.

(4) My daughters have been busy babysitting all week (5 days). They'll have a nice chunk of change on Friday's pay day.

(5) Socialized with parents of 2nd graders. One is the mother of the Michigan trip and she was very nice and friendly, not in the fake pushy way that most of the mothers in that group do (talk nicely to your face and then trash talk you to your back). My other friend asked if we want to go away with hers and another family to Wisconsin. Not sure that our calendar or budget would allow, but it was nice to be asked.
