So, we went on our lovely Florida trip. Would say 'a good time had by all', but we DID have a teenager along! The spending was okay, but by no means cheap! Got more debt!
Been crazy since we got home! Did all the laundry (had to use the dryer, been raining like Noah's coming!), DD1 went to her 8th grade dance that I decorated for and chaparoned, had garage sale #2 this morning (trying to get rid of leftovers from the last one!) and cleaned up the sale, the house and mowed the lawn. In the midst of all that, DD3 decided to have the stomach flu. Have cleaned the bathrooms and the CARPETS (don't ask...). Glad she did'nt have it in Florida and PRAY none of us get it either!!
Tomorrow DD1 has her confirmation. Have to drive to a church in the city for it. Hope it all goes smoothly.
Since I have completed the redecorating projects for now and got the loads of junk out of the basement, my plan is to spend some time organizing the house. Soon the kids will be home full time! Yikes!
Gas is outrageous and I have to drive A LOT coming up. The girls have some kind of ceremony or concert almost every night!!
I have only about $20 left in the checking account for this week. Goal is to try to get groceries and live off what we have the rest of this week. Hopefully we can stay off the fast food! Don't plan on having to use charge cards for anything. Now that the trip is over I can pretty much retire them for now.
Will try to post some Florida pics!
Le' Party is Over!

I love the picture...we have a 13 year old son and can relate well. Our seven year old keeps asking him why he's so grumpy!
