End of the week summary

I was under the grocery budget again this week by $45 but Mr Ladybug and I decided to take a class on making kombucha and it cost $20. Since to continue making it will require items from the grocery store I used the extra this week to pay for it. I also bought 3 bags of popping corn which will last for the year and 8 boxes of cereal which will last a while as well. I found some marinara sauce for 49 cents so I bought 4 jars even though I didnt need it and a trip to Trader Joes with my friend had me buying the dried ravioli which was not on the list but will make for easy future meals. I am still under $60 this month so far and expect to continue to come in under the remaining weeks of January.

I needed to get gas in my car yesterday and the kids car was half full, I am an optimist, so the boy and I went together to fill up both and that cost $33 which gives our fuel total for the month so far as $58. We probably have one more fill up towards the end of the month and will come in way under what I have budgeted which is good since I will need to move some over to the pets budget.

We needed to buy college game day shirts and hats since our boy is in the pep band and we will be going to a basketball game this weekend. That came out of the clothing budget and even if we were over budget there we dont care because we are so happy to be band parents again. We really miss high school band with our kids.

We have a few dining out options all already paid for with gift card deals I found so thats exciting. Plus we have our bird photography class weather permitting and we will be eating our mushrooms from our mushroom log this weekend as well. Its a wild and crazy weekend on the Urban Farm.

Last night I was asleep before 8:30. I told Mr Ladybug I was tired and I just was out. I woke up around 4:50am thought about getting up and showering and fell back to sleep until the alarm went off at 5:50. That was crazy but very wonderful to sleep that long. Listen to your body. I am infamous for trying to get a million things done before I go to bed and worrying about the things that still need to be done. Sometimes you just need the rest and please take it.

 I am headed out to bake bread with a friend this morning. Enjoy your Friday and I hope you have at least fun thing planned for your weekend.
