Staying on track

This weekend I managed to mostly stay on track with our finances. There were a few blips, like the tire that I cut by running into the curb...embarrassing enough when I did it in front of the kids at Cyndi's high school, even worse when I had to take it to get fixed. I let Jon do all the talking and tell about his wife making the mistake while I sat outside on a bench reading a book. Then we went to the store for a couple of things and remembered that we owed someone a birthday present so between those two things we spent about $45 that we weren't expecting to. All in all not bad compared to last weekend's straying from the budget. I did get my checkbook to balance, I was so stressed because I couldn't figure it out, I mean who is going to want to hire me as an Accountant some day when I ever finish college if I can't even balance my own checkbook? Turns out I had double entered two items so I found them and now I feel so much better.

Ethan and I had a much better weekend, he seems to be doing better for the most part as long as we keep his attention meter filled. I need to call and set up an appointment to have him tested for ADHD. I'm hoping they will say that all the people who think he has it are wrong and we just need to do X, Y, and Z and he'll be fine. *sigh*

I've spent far too much time online today. Zombie Lane and Castleville are my weaknesses and now I've found this House M.D. game. Oi! I promised myself only two games and even then I end up playing too long so I will have to cut one out. I can do this! Well, I need to leave in less than an hour to take Ethan to the park before I start running around so I'd better sign off and do a mad dash to make it look like I did something today. I have Summer fever big time lately. Have a great week!
