$$: School Lunches, Milk, & Vitamins

School Lunches — $41.10

Three weeks’ worth of hot (mostly) organic school lunches for The Son.  Well, three weeks’ worth of his allot­ted two meals per week, that is.  That includes 6 meals plus 6 extra por­tions of entree, veg­gie, and fruit plus fruit juice.

The Son skipped his bas­ket­ball games today and instead came home right after school because he’s sick.  Poor fella.  Nose is drip­ping; headache; aching body.  He wanted some Annie’s Mac & Cheese for din­ner but we were all out of milk.  So, nat­u­rally, I ran to the store.  As you’ll see, I picked up a cou­ple of extra items. 

Nat­ural Gro­cers — $50.10

And now for more col­lege news:

The Daugh­ter is float­ing 10 feet off the ground right now.  One of the most com­pet­i­tive schools she applied for (one that both The Hus­band and I thought was just as likely to not even accept her) just sent The Daugh­ter a very attrac­tive schol­ar­ship offer.  If not the most expen­sive school she applied for, it’s in the top 2 or 3 no doubt.  But the schol­ar­ship offer was so large that it brings the entire annual expense (room, board, tuition, fees, etc) down to very close to what we feel we can afford (a reach but not an over-reach).  That means it brings the cost of attend­ing a highly ranked pri­vate lib­eral arts col­lege down to the cost of pay­ing full-ride at the state uni­ver­sity.  I’m absolutely thrilled for her; and quite proud too.
