So What Have I Been Up To?

Hi there.  I hope to be back to blogging regularly next week.  In the mean time this is what I have been up to.

1.  Kid # 3 has graduated high school.  Next week we meet with the counselors at our local community  college to sign her up for classes for the fall semester.

2.  I have officially been hired for a regular position at one of the kitchens in our school district. I will no longer have to be a substitute and will work 15 hours a week.  I also will get a $2 and hour raise.  It really is the perfect job for me.  I love it.

3. I also am now on summer vacation.  I have a whole list of things I would like to accomplish this summer.  But really my main goal is just to spend time with my kids.

4.  My daughter in law is doing well.  She has about 6 weeks left of her pregnancy and then my grandson will come.  We attended a baby shower for her not long ago and she got some really nice things.  I have been picking things up here and there as I see them at yard sales and on the local facebook yard sale sites.  It is fun to buy for a baby again.

5. We have started to remodel our main floor bathroom.  Of course we are doing this on a budget.  Hopefully it will be mostly finished by next weekend, which is when Kid # 3's graduation party is.  Nothing like planning a remodel right before a party lol.  I will post some pictures when it is done.  I even remembered to take some before pictures :)

6.  I haven't really meal planned for any of the month of May.  I have cut my budget by $50 this month though.  I am to busy to go shopping lol

7.  I have made $112 this month by selling our used items.  I plan to continue selling things through the summer and hopefully by the time school starts I will have made a big dent in the de-cluttering!

8.  We made our goal of paying $1000 towards the car this month.  I think we may be able to pull it off for the month of June also.  We will see.

Well that is my month in a nutshell.  I will be back to posting regularly next week.  Hope you all are staying dry!
