The Beavis is at orchestra camp for the week, and then at his dad’s for a week. In July he’ll be gone for 2 weeks with dad. Is it wrong to be happy that I’ll be saving huge sums of cash on food during the weeks he’s off visiting my ex?

Oh, man MJ! I feel for you. We’ve gone through this with taxes and emergency repairs all in one month…and with a 15 year old eating like crazy, it is hard stuff. Thanks for the link. I try to do a lot of this, but I know I could always improve. Best of luck…my thoughts are with you this month as you try to stretch the budget.

Shit you not, I had a moment of terror a few days ago when I imagined these kids as teenagers, and the sheer quantity of food they will consume

Thanks. God only knows how long that leak has been going on — it’s between the city line an the house, and the contractor does spot checks every two years. So it could have been going on for two years.
