This morning--early mind you....I worked for about 2 hours. I only work every other Saturday but I worked to help my boss out. She had to cover today because we had too many employees quit. So I did all the pressing of the tablecloths this morning. I also did some work for a resident. She is going to pay me. Her daughter does things for her but she is in Montana for ten days. So I am doing odds and ends for her. What a blessing that will be.

Still doing the garage sale stuff. Today at work I took a free lamp home and a Christmas decoration no one wanted...so in the sale it goes! I have not been finding too many free things lately. I have a week to keep scouring for free stuff to add to my sale.

Today I have to grocery shop. A job I now really dislike. I used to not like it...now I just can't stand doing it.

I have not been filling my gas tank up that much since I do not drive the kids to school....that is a total budget killer. Working one mile from home is wonderful! That driving to the private school is really what hurts during the rest of the year.

My daughter started her job yesterday working for a catering place. She served at a wedding. She did really well! She now appreciates what I do now she told me. It is hard work being on your feet for hours on end. That made me feel good. She got a $20 tip from the brides father on top of her $7 an hour pay. She was so excited!!! She seems to like to do a good job as she was complaining about a few staff who were slacking. I am so glad this job is working out. She is 16 and this is a good way to learn about the real world. She is working another wedding tonight.

We have had alot of bad storms. Everyday it seems to storm. So we have been stuck at home alot. We have not been able to go to the pool and my youngest dd is going nuts. Hopefully all this rain will go away soon so we can get outside and enjoy summer! The humidty has been unbearable so we have had to use our a/c.

I have not been biking to work because of the rain and also I have had to drive kids places. I hope things get better soon so I can bike more.

I have not been buying myself anything. I did buy a few itmes at OLD NAVY for my two kids.....spent about $40 on sale stuff. I need some clothes but am making due. Thankfully I do not go anywhere or do much where I need a fancy closet.

Have a good frugal weekend everyone.
