My 5-day trip was fun, and I stayed within budget! I came home early yesterday trying to get a jump on this week. It’s going to be a busy one. I'm having a bridal shower at my home on Tuesday night for a friend at work. About 12-15 people so I was not too happy when I got home to a not so clean house. Last night I cleaned the basement, pet’s room, Master bedroom, and kitchen counters. 1 load of dishes, 3 loads of laundry. DH hand washed all the hardwood floors. Tonight, after the grocery shopping, I will do the prep work on the veggie/fruit & cheese trays, bake the cake and print out the tags for the favors. (I already made the chocolate hearts for the favors). I hope to make two weeks of baby food, but not sure if I will have enough time – we’ll have to see!
Still have 2 more loads of laundry, 3 more rooms to dust and the bathrooms to clean...My mom, who babysits for us, was kind enough to do my ironing- so one thing to check off my to do list (it is my most hated task!)
Financial Update:
Today - paid utilities for next month- $309.90 / Medical bills- $360.75 / Car Insurance -$85
Need to purchase 3 gifts for this week (2 bridal shower/ 1 wedding)
Need to grocery shop for the next 2 weeks ~ 140.00 (includes $70.00 spent at butcher yesterday)
Looks like an expensive week!
Back from Vacation...
