$$: Just Another Sunday in the ‘Burbs

I’m still feel­ing like dog barf so I sent the kids to church by them­selves this morn­ing.  There really are great advan­tages to hav­ing a child with a driver’s license.

When they got back, The Son elected to stay home to play on the com­puter and com­plete some chores (includ­ing clean­ing the kids’ toi­let and his room).  The Daugh­ter had to come as hers was the main errand we needed to run.

Costco — $3.00 (cash)
Pizza and a soda for The Daughter’s lunch.

Costco — $5.38
Pass­port pho­tos of The Daugh­ter.  She hopes to do a for­eign exchange block this year in a Spanish-speaking coun­try.  Since get­ting a pass­port can take a while, I wanted to get this part of it done asap.

Did you know that pass­port appli­ca­tion fees are $100!?!  I had con­sid­ered get­ting pass­ports for all four of us (mine expired over 20 years ago, The Hus­band has never had one) but when I found out how much they cost, we decided to just get The Daughter’s at this time.

I’m look­ing for a pair of PJs to give The Husband’s hand­i­capped son for his upcom­ing birth­day.  The Daugh­ter never needs an excuse to look at the sales racks in the junior’s depart­ment.  I struck out; she didn’t.
