Today is payday! Not much to do since I set everything up in bill pay ahead of time. I had some OT so that went into the vacation fund. I had $58 left of my gas budget, so that went into the new car account. Need to really focus on that after the vacation. My car wouldn't start at the soccer game last night! 2 hours away from home and my car wouldn't start! It was able to be jumped, but I fear that it might be nearing retirement. It is a great car! (200000+ miles and never had any major problems!) Don't need anything from the grocery store so I should be able to keep expenses the next couple of weeks to a minimum.

My DH has really gotten on board with the saving thing. He has been giving me one of his checks each week. Some has gone into the vacation fund, and some has gone toward keeping the other items current.

Heading to Athens tomorrow for a cheer competition. It is an all day thing. Then we have tickets to watch the gym-dawgs compete. I have budgeted $300 for the entire trip, including hotel. We should be able to easily do that. Thought about cancelling the hotel, but it is supposed tobe raining and I am very uncomfortable driving in the rain after dark, especially for 2 1/2 hours! So I don't mind spending that.
