Our legal bills and costs continue to devour us. However, I did make some extra spending cash this weekend by selling 3 boxes of .45 ammo for $25. I managed to get 3 inquiries before craigslist pulled my posting (who knew ammo was a prohibited sale item?) and this one guy came and picked it up on Saturday, which was awesome. I also found white drapes for the house (we got in trouble with the HOA for our blue drapes, which have been up for almost a year) from this lady found on craigslist, and she sold me 5 white drapes for an incredible $8!!! Awesome!!!
The baby's b-day is tomorrow and her party at Chuck E. Cheese is on Sunday. S and I need to go get her a few presents. Target was his suggestion and I said ok, but that we can only afford to get her like 3-4 things and that is it. I do need to find her a cute little wallet though, b/c I told her that once she turned 5 we were going to give her an allowance. I want to teach her about money and I don't want to hear anymore "I want, I want." From now on my response will be, "Oh, you do, huh? Where's your money? Better start saving!!!" She'll get $5 every 2 weeks, or $10/month. $1 will go to the church, $3 will go to savings, and she'll have $6 to spend. I think that's more than fair. I might even up it to $4/savings, $5/spend.
