It is almost June (as a matter of fact, it will be tomorrow!), and I foresee a whole summer of busy-ness. I've got 2 kids in summer school (for extra tutoring) and one going to 'kindergarten summer camp', because she begins kindergarten this fall. I've already set the ground rules with the kids: there will be NO SLACKING on the cleanliness/liveableness (not a word, I know) of our home this summer. Also, I have every intention of paying off bills as much as possible during the summer months so we can actually begin SAVING. (Did I say that??????)
We do have some extra things that will have to happen, however. DD #4 is having surgery in a couple of weeks (Oh. Joy.), DS #1 is being fitted for braces (yaaaaayyy . . . not.), DS #2 will be having fillings done, and DD #3 will have fillings and 'rubber bands' placed for a tooth that isn't where it should be. All of which will involve paying money up front for the portion the insurance WON'T pay . . . LOVELY.
So, I will be putting my little planning list to the test and hope it does as it should. I'm also going to be undertaking more Freezer Cooking to help save money and my sanity. Clipping coupons, cutting back and watching sales will help fill in some of the gaps. Now, where'd I put that list . . . ?
