Your vacation sounds like fun. I love going on vacation with extended family, especially when the kids were little.<br /><br />I'm not sure we have any plans for the month. No vacation this year for us unless you count the weekend we went to St. Louis to buy a pickup last month. My personal goal is to get my doctor appointments in before we lose insurance and hopefully, find a job.Martihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03559847090671071342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519986092114737286.post-91891293679554945202014-08-03T13:33:14.339-07:002014-08-03T13:33:14.339-07:00My kids are in their 20's and I'm still us...My kids are in their 20's and I'm still using baby wipe containers from when they were babies.

My goal is to make enough to cover my hydro bill so I don't have to pull from the slush fund... i'm stubborn that way! lol! ~Carla~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02341057469246030024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519986092114737286.post-20642097093865086742014-08-02T11:30:04.918-07:002014-08-02T11:30:04.918-07:00Hope you have a fun trip!

Nothing big planned for August, getting things set up and ready for our new baby girl in Oct., and I am trying to make a pass through all areas of our house to find things to get rid of and organize. Currently I am in the process of making a list of things we will need to buy, and things to stock up on before baby comes, but as we have a 3 year old daughter it isn't a terribly long list! I am soooo glad I saved all of her baby wipe containers because I am using them a lot! Storing small toys and I pull the lids off and use them in cupboards to hold container seals and in the freezer to hold baggies of this and that so I can remember to use it up! -JenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519986092114737286.post-46887634408813225882014-08-02T09:14:35.246-07:002014-08-02T09:14:35.246-07:00How exciting for you!

Hopefully a future trip we are thinking about will all work out and we will have a wonderful vacation next year.<br />I still have to go shopping with my son for back to school stuff. I thought I would wait until my daughter is off and settled in college. This is my last child and my last dealing with high school. WooHoo! :)! Hopefully I can keep expenses to a minimum!<br />By the way, I'm hoping for an uneventful expense month too!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13940623529019637336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519986092114737286.post-43663517702720173492014-08-02T08:08:17.064-07:002014-08-02T08:08:17.064-07:00Sounds like you have a great August planned!

Should be relatively inexpensive, as the flights are already paid for & the house is ours. :-) I'm also flying in for a big relay that I'm running with my family. It's definitely a splurge, but I'm excited about it. I'll need to contribute to: gas, snacks, & we'll be eating a few meals out.

I am anxious to see just how much our reg. household bills go down when he leaves. And Sept. will be the first full month of our new "nut" expenses so we can plan more about when Hubs can retire.<br />Going into a new phase in life is exciting whether it's expanding your family or leaving the child rearing days behind. 8-)slugmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728856166374248591noreply@blogger.com
