Another trip to the doctors for ds2, another round of antibiotics for an ear infection, this time with the bonus of pinkeye thrown in - so a round if antibiotic eyedrops as well. Poor little guy. As always though, he's happy as anything most of the time. Wish I was such a good patient!
Day off from work - actually got quite a bit of picking up done and several loads of laundry despite the trip to the doctors, pharmacy, and watching my 3 year old niece for the better part of the day. Spent $25.78 at the grocery store, mostly toiletries but also a few food items that we were out of - and another $23.35 at the pharmacy, not to mention the $15 copay at the pediatricians.
I was thinking over my big grocery bill from last month and realized that it included all of the diapers ($10/kid, 2-3 times per month) and toiletries, since I get them while I do my grocery shopping. So I feel a little bit better about the amount, although there still is room for improvement.
December expenses: $463.65 + 64.13 = 527.78
December income: $537.61 (paycheck today)
Saved money today by: eating at home (leftovers for lunch, dinner made from scratch from pantry/freezer - made enough for lunches tomorrow), combining errands (MD, grocery, pharmacy - all are a fifteen minute drive from home)
I did NOT save money today while shopping. Anyone who has been in the grocery store with an overtired baby will understand me when I say that I was not going to read labels and compare prices! I felt terrible walking through the store with a whimpering baby, but I had to get the script filled before I left. He perked right up again after his nap
Now I am off to snuggle in my down comforter on this cold, snowy night, and finish Mary Higgins Clark's latest!
December 7 - poor little baby of mine
