OOPS! I deducted my Verizon bill from my checking account, but forgot to put the online payment through. So when I looked at my checkbook, I thought it had been paid, but it never actually was. For some reason, this didn't register when I balanced my checkbook. I think I thought I double counted it, and ended up crediting it back to myself. Anyway, got the next month's bill in the mail, showing that I had two months due, and realized my mistake.
First of all, this is pretty embarrassing. I work for a bank. I've worked for the bank for 20 YEARS! I was a finance major in college. You'd thing debits and credits would be second nature to me. Second, this isn't the first time this has happened. Looks like I'll have to move to automatic payments now, instead of me manually paying each one online.
Other than that...I had a great breakfast out with hubby and DD this morning. I took DD for her annual physical. Her doctor only has morning office hours (at a pediatric doctor, really? no after school appointments?) so it's become our tradition to get the first appointment of the morning then go for breakfast at IHOP. Hubby was home, so he joined us. I let her stay home from school for the day but I had to go into the office in the afternoon. We had such a great time though. It's one of my favorite traditions. DS has his appointments in a few weeks.
We have done a kickin job of planning our menu for the week. Each night, we've planned a meat/starch/veggie that is realistic to make, based on our schedule for the next day. Hubby has been doing a great job grilling and taking on much of the cooking while I've been working late. Good stuff, and cheap - if this was two weeks ago, we would have eaten out at least twice so far this week. Instead, nothing out. Huge improvement.
I need to start pulling together our tax info. I know I have it all, it's just a matter of wading through it all. We usually get money back from NY State, then owe NJ and Federal. So I really want to get the returns done, so we can use the NY money to pay the rest by 4/15. Sounds like a chore for this weekend...

Great job on the menu planning! I try to do the same thing based on our schedule....quick easy meals for busy nights, and something that might take a bit longer for nights off. Way to go
