I need to set up a new line item in the budget, get $70 into it asap and make a weekly deposit to it...I will label it "High School Expenses" YIKES.
It has been a while since I have had a teen in a HS activity.
Day ONE: $70 for the uniform!!!
So I will be massaging the budget today to see how/where I can come up with this new money.
Practice= 2X per week. I live 13 miles outside of town, so I am working on a plan with DD1 & DD2 that will save alot on gas!
DD3 is also working (volunteering) at the library 2X per week in the little town that is 7 miles from home. (other direction) Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Tonight is our first Girls Night Out. DD1,2 &3, nana, me and a couple of friends are going to see the Lake House. Should be fun!
Looks like a great sunny day. Perfect for all the laundry!
Have a good one!

I would reccomend to parents & the kids, that they start a Senior year expenses account too...........right away. With the normal graduation expenses, it starts to top $1000 right away here in our school, and that is without many of the extras. When I had a couple of seniors at a time, it really made an impact!

Are you getting a "moms taxi" sticker for your car.... this is why you stay at home now..right? (I'm sure according to the kids, yes it is!)
Have fun at the movies! Let me know how you like this one as we are thinking about seeing it too!
