No Spending Month Week 3

It is official—as Dave Ramsey would say, “Murphy has moved into the spare bedroom.” We took our car in for an oil change and found out we need a $1100 repair. Yikes! Our car has 80,000 miles on it, which is about the point when things need to start being replaced.

Then, our phone is on the fritz. I can still use it IF I leave it in one place that requires me to cock my head to the side and not move. Seriously. In any other position there are a few sharp cracks and the phone call ends.

My son is attending a summer school program, and the tuition is due on the 28th. He will be attending a private school in the fall, and the first tuition payment is due on July 2nd.

I’ll be glad when Murphy moves out!!

We did not get home until 9:30 at night, and I was not going to try to bake and decorate a cake. I know my limits!)
