I did really well yesterday as far as finances went. I slept very poorly (90 degrees out, hot even at midnight when I got out of work), kept trying unsuccessfully to sleep. Finally a tepid bath did the trick, and I was asleep when I heard "Bonsai!" rapidly followed by a little person jumping on me in bed.
My daughter and grandson were going to be going to lunch with my ex-mil once my son returned ... and brought my car back. We all ended up being treated to lunch, and then i had to go to work. My-exmil always shops at Aldi's and spends money on very little. Her house has been paid off for something like 30 years, and she never worked out of the home consistantly. I was just getting ready to say something really snippy, but my point is that I should use her as a guide when I start spending too much, my personal reminder that I never want to owe my life to a company or person financially. Today $3.98 spent, since I didn't have time to pack or eat a meal before taking my son to get his newest vehicle. Hope this one lasts more than 2-3 months---
