Weekend doings

September 15th, 2008 at 01:28 am

My son came home from college...so we celebrated his birthday. He is 19. The girls were with dad so it was just him and I. It was very relaxing. I worked on Saturday and met my gal pal for pie and coffee later on....it was cheaper than dinner so it worked out for both of us. Plus we went to a close place so we could save on gas.
It is $3.99 near me. Pretty high. I bought my son some food to take back to school. This is something I do to help him out....but I can't always do it.
Somehow I make it all work....but sometimes it is scary to me since I tend to have alot of expenses that pop up without warning.

I did my grocery shopping today and stuck to my list. I have alot of stuff left over from last week that is still fine. So I did not have to do as much purchasing. I baked cookies today and mowed. The grass was very long from all the rain. It was a huge job. Hot and sticky outside to boot. Tonight we are having a huge wind storm. The grass looks terrible...it made me depressed to see my nice lawn look like a war zone! I did find a HUGE branch down. I had to drag it to the curb.....some how my 12 yr old and I got it dragged to the curb. Hopefully the town sends around the tree trucks on Monday. I quickly got us back inside to avoid getting hit or injured.
I did put away some summer stuff today in the garage. Another big job ...but I felt good geting some things accomplished in light of approaching the fall season. This week I will be closing my MM savings account. I am going to have to save in my checking account for now. I can not keep much in it and I am getting charged for having a low amount. Oh well...I need the money NOW for sure.

I am starting to stress about Christmas.
I am really worried. I have to think of a better plan for gifts for the kids. I do not have the time to mess with too much. I have to really re-think things. I hate to be a scrooge but I find zero meaning in too much commercaiized stuff. Again...I need to really think about my approach to the holidays. I feel I say this every year---I have not really made head way I guess. My ex husband is already making the kids write out all the goodies they want. I find that ridiculous.

I need to watch every penny. I added up how much gas I spend a month via the visa bill. It is really HIGH! It is very depressing. I may have to put all my kids in public school next year I drive too far away to their school. I am begining to see it may be too expensive gas and car wise. Sad but true.
Monday I have to make 4 trips back and forth to school....that will be a half a tank of gas---no lie!

This is when I wish I had a husband to discuss so many things with. Sad but true....

I am praying the wind does not harm my house. It is very bad out there.
Have a good Monday everyone.
