Confusion

Late last night Robby announced that he doesn't want to go to school. It's supposed to start Monday but he was thinking that he wanted to take a quarter off and then go in January. So Ron and I had an emergency meeting at lunch today and made some decisions about how to handle it. Basically, we had decided that in January he would either have to start school or move out. Then Robby's dad got involved and told Robby that he wouldn't pay for hockey unless Robby was in school. So now we've got Robby going to school just so he can play hockey. It seems like a recipe for disaster to me. He's only signed up for two classes. He doesn't know if he can get into a Reading 95 class and he hasn't bought his books yet. Sigh.

I'm also feeling somewhat confused about money. I think we've blown quite a few of our budgets at this point. I'm looking forward to the end of the month so I can get back on track. Here's where we are:

Hot Off the Press $ 35.74
Groceries $ 83.84
Gas $ 192.24
Entertainment -188.73 I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with this.
Blow $ Me -17.34
Blow $ DH $ 20.89
House $ 37.04
Co-Pays $ 70.00
Postage $ 12.00
Dog Grooming $ 120.00
DH Haircut $ 19.00
DS1 Tuition $ 142.00
Me Birthday $ 300.00
SMIL Birthday $ 50.00
DS1 Books $ 500.00
DS1 Clothing $ 356.49
DD Clothing -$35.96
DS3 Clothing $ 96.33
DH Clothing $ 306.86
Me Clothing $ 400.00
DS1 Haircut $ 19.00
DS2 Pictures $ 50.00
DS3 pictures $ 125.00
DD pictures $ 125.00

The Rainier Pacific Visa bill came today. It's also a bill that I'm paying minimums right now. I'm going to track it on the side.
