Another busy day spending money.
Doctor -- $25.00
Had to take The Son in to the doctor today. I'm concerned that he looked jaundiced; he ripped his big toenail bad during last night's game; and I wanted a referral for whomever the Dr. would suggest we see next in our search for a diagnosis for our quirky boy. The toe will heal, it'll take a few days for the blood results to come back, and the Dr. suggested we start with a speech therapist since his learning difficulties seem to center around communication -- written and verbal.
Wendy's -- $3.86
Being a creature of habit, The Son chose Wendy's for his dinner tonight after his lesson. He munched down on two Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers and a small vanilla frosty.
Vitamin Cottage -- $2.59
I'm just as much a creature of habit as The Son 
I snacked on an Odwalla Strawberry C Monster juice while The Son did his thing at orchestra rehearsal.
Marshalls -- ($18.36)
I returned the scotty-dog nightgown I'd purchased for The Daughter -- I purchased last week and learned a lesson with shortly afterward.
Marshalls -- $78.30
I am so very sick of the stupid clicking noise that I have to listen to every time we play my iPod Nano in The Tank. Neither of our vehicles has an MP3 port. The Husband's Subaru doesn't even have a cassette player. But The Tank does. And I got tired of the kids arguing about which station we should listen to so I bought one of those cassette to MP3 adaptors. It works fine but it clicks annoyingly. And the clicking seems to be even louder lately. So tonight I finally broke down and bought one of those charger/holder/broadcast-through-the-radio things ($39.99). I've been told by Apple employees that these radio things don't sound any better than cassette adaptors and since the adaptors are cheaper, I went that way. But the clicking noise is just too much to bear any longer.
I also found a cool Quicksilver t-shirt ($12.99) for my nephew whose birthday is later this month; a nice "valet grooming kit" from Nautica in a fancy wooden box ($16.99) that will make a great stocking stuffer for The Son; and a four pack of Christmas-themed gift card pouches ($2.49).
Target -- $29.82
Here I picked up a $25 iTunes gift card (for the same nephew mentioned above); a Matchbox car ($0.79) for The Daughter -- I'll explain tomorrow; and a package of 3M cord organizer hooks $3.49.
Costco -- $31.66
I picked up:
- Goldfish crackers I forgot to get yesterday ($6.49);
- two cartons of 18ct. Nest Fresh eggs ($2.99/ea);
- and two bags of Lindt milk chocolates ($8.99/ea).

Is Daughter’s 16th birthday tomorrow/today? My dad gave me a Matchbox Ford Mustang for my birthday. He told me that he had bought me a car…ha. ha.
Hi Hannah,
No, The Daughter’s birthday isn’t for another two months. But she does really want a new car — though she does understand full well that she won’t get one. I’ve made it clear that even if I were floating in cash and money were no problem, I would not buy her a car for her birthday. I’m not a fan of 16-year-olds being given cars.
I’m so relieved to see you laughing about your dad’s joke. When it first occurred to me to get The Daughter a “car” for Christmas, I was afraid that it would just hurt her feelings and make her mad. I called my mom and my sister for advice and they both thought it was funny and said I should do it. If she doesn’t find it funny now, she’ll probably be able to look back on it and laugh (I hope).
