Weekly Money Checkup

1. The most I’ve spent this last week was food. I didn't leave the house much with trying to catch up from being gone. The beginning of the week started out with lots of wet snow so that probably helped me staying in the house.

2. Today I am thankful for a quiet morning and my cup of spiced apple cider in my giant mugs new sock monkey sleeve. Thanks to my sister Cheryl for making him last week while she was here. 

3. Money can’t buy happiness. One free thing I did last week that made me happy was take a nap. I have been SUPER crabby and I needed a nap, ok I need more. After this weekend I am much better though. One other free thing we did last week was go watch my cousin run at the state Cross Country Meet and see lots of family. It is so nice to see family more often when you live closer to home.  

4. I will consider this week a success if I get the ENTIRE house cleaned! I am having lunch with my Mamo (grandmother) today and going and buying a new vacuum. I really wanted a Dyson because everyone I know with pets or without has had great luck with them but I can't spend that much and we need one now. So I am getting a Bissel Pet Rewind. My sister has had great luck with it so we will give it a try.

5. This year for Halloween....? I have tons of candy in the closet to give out but we are still debating if we want to just go to dinner. I am waiting until my husband gets home to make a final decision, it totally depends on what kind of day he had at work. Either way he usually gets home so late I am sure I will hand some out before he gets home tonight. I did save a bag for myself of our favorites though!
