we lost...we LOST!

May 8th, 2006 at 03:33 am

Our last night of bowling...we needed 5 points out of seven to clinch the title. And we took 0. Big, fat 0. Sniffle. SOOOOOO close. Oh well, at least it's over and I don't have to shell out $15 a week anymore for a babysitter, plus $20 to bowl.
Busy weekend for us - we took the boys to Binghamton on Friday to see DH's grandparents, who just returned from Florida. A nice visit, as usual. Today we did some odd jobs around the house. The boys played outside all day. Tomorrow I have 5 checks of varying amounts to deposit Smile but unfortunately, several bills to pay of much larger amounts!
I seemed to have omitted several gifts this month from my budget. I think I budgeted for an anniversary and birthday ($50), but I somehow forgot Mother's Day! So there are another 4 gifts to add in (two moms, one grandmother, and me!). I have a feeling this month, the budget is out the window.
I have toyed with the idea of going back to work at my cousin's greenhouse, maybe one day a week, if they need help. It's only $5 an hour (nearly one quarter of what I make at my day job), but it's enjoyable. I like the environment, the work, and mostly, the company. DH rolled my eyes when I mentioned it as he thinks I am just freaking out about the money situation (which, I admit, I do on a regular basis), but I do like the job. I should call them soon, though, as May is their busy month.

    i do the same thing... i don't call it freaking out.. but, i call it a whim and i just have to have a family meeting and explain why we are doing this and that and establish new rules for budgeting and running the household... i am gonna let son and spouse select the next weeks menu... see what they want to eat.. sunday we had a new recipe i used for spouse, he wanted shrimp salad like red lobster, it was different and tasty.... son wanted meatloaf, baked potatoes, corn, baked french bread for supper... so, change is good even for me.. we had homemade pizza, salad, twice baked potato for supper tonite.
