Thanks for asking Tracy. Shopping went good and at first I was thinking I spend way too much, but after I looked at everything again, maybe just a little too much. But with the exception of the shorts we got at Target, everything else was on sale at 40-50% off, plus I had coupons for Penneys.
For our weekends, DH and I both came in under budget which will help cover what I spent on DD.
And for real exciting news, my electric bill came yesterday and it is less than half from what last months was.
I was hoping to have cut 1/3 off but I did better than 1/2.
Even with running the heater at night.
I am hoping this month will be even better as historically it is our lowest month, but I was one happy camper last night.
We had dance last night, but didn't get as much time in as usual. We did begin working on the Mother/Daughter dance and that was fun.
Amy, you asked about April earlier. I'm sorry I failed to answer you. She is doing great in her pregnancy. We are still being cautious and aren't telling many people, but so far, so good. Her Dad on the other hand isn't doing well. He is not tolerating his feedings (feeding tube) and is sick a lot. They have cut them back, but the nurse said he isn't getting the nutrients he needs. He has lost a lot of weight and is beginnning to draw up some. April is doing an amazing job caring for him, but I think his body is at the beginning of the shut down process. She was aware that this would happen eventually and is at peace with it.
