Trying to inhale/exhale this am. Received my banking statement on Sat. and it seems like I have nearly $200!! less in checking than I thought. I have been VIGILANT with my checking account! I have NO IDEA what happened. As soon as I take the girls to school I'm going to the bank to figure this mess out. Who knows...
I'm also turning in my application for online banking so hopefully this won't happen again. I'm trying not to be depressed, I mean if it was never there to begin with It's not like I actually "LOST" it. Still...depressing.
In other news this was a good weekend! We stuck to our meal plan and our only splurge was $9.88 at Walmart for vanilla ice cream, rootbeer, pretzels and two packs of gum. I had a 75 cent off coupon for the ice cream! My family has been addicted to ice cream sundaes lately and I'm craving root beer floats. We need to learn to control our cravings, but I'm pretty proud because in other weekends we would have blown through at least $100 going to movies/ out to eat.
I didn't even get a movie on pay per view!!!
It looks like we've got something of a spendy week ahead of us. I will have to buy E. a new outfit for her choir concert tomorrow night...has to be black pants or skirt and she has neither. And C. and I both have hair appt. We've not had our hair cut since middle of August and I've got shorter hair and I look a mess!!
In all, I'm looking at probably around $150. Add that to the lots of extra driving to a dermatology appt. an hour away and gymnastics 40 min from home ...sigh
Good news is I've been averaging 1.60 to 1.75 for gas using my discount card. Looks like, depite all the driving I will be at $30 spent on gas for 7 days. woo-hoo!!
Have not started Christmas shopping...at all! I have a bunch of coupons for bath and body so I'm going to go there this week...they sell the victoria's secret pink line and everyone in my extended family is addicted to that right now!
I made a mistake!

My big blooper back last month was not quite realizing that a $200 check from the kids' school didn't clear. Well, when it came through I had about $17 left over. We managed to survive, but that inspired me to get all of proverbial ducks in a row. It is all now on one spreadsheet in EXCEL so I know what is outstanding. Good luck figuring it all out!
