Day 259: Cultural Experiences & Plastic Bins
Total Spent Today: $220.86
Audition — $15.00
The Son’s teacher and I convinced him to audition in hopes of being moved to the next level in his community orchestra. I fear he won’t be advanced but I’m glad he had this experience — the work of preparing a piece and the agony of auditioning. In other news, [...]
My Mother’s Day Gift
The following post is not money-related. It is, however, Mom-related. And since I’m first and foremost a Mom (and the recipient of the gift in question) and since almost all of my expenses are either directly or indirectly for my children’s benefit, I feel, with just small stretch of the imagination, justified in posting this [...]
Day 258: Activities

Day 257: Food!
The Son and I did some serious grocery shopping today! Usually getting The Son to accompany me to the store is a bit like pulling teeth but he gave me no arguments at all today — came along right willingly, actually. I suspect that two weeks of dining with his dad while I was gone [...]

Day 249 Earbuds and Plastic Clips (May 7)
Day 250 Traveling Expenses (May 8 )

Getting Back on Track
Dear Readers (if indeed I have any readers),
I do most humbly and sincerely apologize for taking such a long and unannounced leave of absence from my daily $$ posts. As you know, I spent two weeks driving my mom across country and, while there, visiting with my brother and his family in New York City [...]
