Update - This & That

Posted by with 7 comments
Little Brother
To all those bloggers who are also parents and have full time jobs - I am so impressed!

With have Jordan's little brother staying with us, the frequency that I have been writing has gone down dramatically over the last two weeks!  We have had some significant trials over the past while - and although I love the kid like my own little brother, I am so glad his parents get back to town tomorrow.

Little brother will stay with us tomorrow night, and then go back to his home on Friday after school. Following this weekend, I hope to be back to a more regular writing schedule.

Receipt Tracking
This past week I've had a hard time keeping and tracking receipts.  We had a lot of additional expenses due to Little Brother being with us (including groceries, socks & underwear, increased gas).  I'm going to try again in February.

    I don't think I could take 2 weeks with a teenager... I'd probably get worn out by trying to keep up with all the stuff that's cool now! And cooking, cuz teenagers sure eat a lot :-)

    @ Jolie - we sure are looking forward to it!

    @ Bakin - too funny!

    @ Mom - aww but we can always talk on the phone

    @ Canadian Saver - it's been a lot! But didn't try to get caught up with what's 'cool' just tried to keep the kid safe and well fed

    @ canadian savings - haha, we'll just say that he didn't pack very well.
