Today was not an ideal day. The girls were up really early. Jason had to leave for coaching before 7 AM and he fed them my cold cereal before he left. Then I took Dai to Girl Scouts at 8. Cress was still asleep. I made her toast and woke her up and gave her toast in the car. Dai had peanut butter on toast and Phyllis had regular buttered toast like Cress. When we got home I fried an egg with more toast for P and C. I ate three eggs and toast. Jason had oatmeal before he went to coaching and a donut there. Then he ate a PBJ when he got home.
This is where it gets bad. The girls had Open Gym from 12-1:30. Dai got home from Girl Scouts at 12:35 and from there we took her to change and then go to Open Gym. I also needed to return my Mephistos. They did not fit. So we went to the mall after picking them up and brining them home to change - no one had eaten. I was returning some expensive shoes so we had money so we went to Del Taco. That was $23.85 that was not in the budget. But assuming I take the $38 out for dining last week (which had been planned the week before - so can I?) I will still be under $125 for the week so far. ($93.47 at Winco plus $23.85= $117.32). Never borrow from next week - better to go cheap the week you eat out - that is my take away.
That was at 4 PM. There was no dinner.
