I got home late last night and was beat, so I'm posting a two-fer today...Sunday and Monday updates!
Sunday was crazy busy. DD had a soccer game, then we dropped the car at the shop to get checked out. I went to dad's for dinner, got home around 9, and had some things to take care of to get ready for my week. It was a no-spend day, and I ended the week with $10 leftover, which will go into my "mom fun" account. The envelope has $15 in it. My plan is to use the money I save to fly down to my SIL's for her graduation from her Master's program in May. It's a Thursday night, so hubby and the kids won't be able to go. I'd stay with Bro and SIL, so the only expense would be the flight.
Today the big news is that I avoided fast food. It's just me and the kids, and I didn't feel like cooking at all. I suggested Wendy's to the kids, and DD said no, she'd prefer chicken quesadillas. Easy enough and SO much healthier and cheaper. So we went with that and, other than setting one of them on fire because it was too close to the broiler (oops), they were really good.
The book requests from paperbackswap .com continue to roll in. I have another half dozen to mail tomorrow. Also have to get to the bank. I should be getting a copy of my 1/15 pay stub tomorrow, so I can confirm my assumptions of how much will come out in taxes, etc. and finalize the 2012 numbers.
