Todays expenses and a Funny story...

September 9th, 2011 at 02:59 am

Today was spendy. The computer dudes at work wanted to get breakfast burritos off the truck..they are very yummy, and only $3. However, I have always offered to buy the burrito for the person willing to go get them...so I pay $6. But boy, those are tasty!

I needed to stop by my daughters work to deliver her birthday card. I tucked a gift card for a massage at a nice salon inside for her. This is the daughter who is mom to two, plus foster mom to two more and works full time..she needs a pampering, and so I didnt mind spending a little extra for her ($75)- my normal birthday budget per kid is $45-ish. The hub will chip in next week...so it shouldn't net too much more than normal...

On the way back to work I picked up a chicken feta cranberry almond salad...uh, YUM. $8

So dinner tonight is a baked potato. (free)

My EVP at work is my mentor and today was our monthly meeting. I talked to him about the school they are sending me to next summer. He is very supportive of my going, and very supportive of my career path. It was nice to chat with him. It is funny, my mentor is early 30's...but smart as they come. But he is just a couple years older than my daughter!! I just have to chuckle at that.

So I will wrap todays post with this:

My daughter won a $25 coffee gift card on facebook today. The contest: post a first day of school story and whatever story got the most 'likes' won.

Her story: (Her nephew is my oldest grandson, and his grandpa is my husband....enjoy!)...and YES, the story is true. Big Grin

The day before my nephew was going to preschool he was helping his grandpa work out at his house, well he wasn't paying attention and ran around his truck, his eye was just level with a bottle that his grandpa was holding and ended up giving him a nice black eye. Well the first day of preschool the teacher saw his black eye and asked "How did you get that?" and his response was "Grandpa hit me in the head with his beer bottle!"

    Ha - love the story!

    When my second was 3-4 years old, she'd watch Sesame Street once in a while and loved a segment when Telly monster broke his arm. She started wrapping a cloth around her arm and neck, playing like it was broken. Well, wouldn't you know she started playing "broken arm" at preschool and when we'd be out and about. And when people asked her what had happened, she'd say in her sweetest little voice that Daddy did it! Oh my gosh, the first time she said that, I sputtered an answer that I'm sure was not believed, and left me wondering if child services would be meeting us as we arrived home that day. I still love to tease my husband about that.

    Kids definitely lighten the day!

    That reminds me, my sister was doing a fake karate chop to my boyfriend (she was like 7 or 8) and broke her arm in the process (when her arm hit his). I had totally forgotten about that. My boyfriend broke my little sister's arm! (She was the violent one, though). Big Grin
    Anyway, GREAT story. Too Funny!! LOL.
