So last night my husband's truck and my car were ransacked in our driveway. I did not have one thing in my car that I would be worried would be stolen. I never do. Howevveeerrrr....my husband does and did. The $40 that we had put away for the week for gas and tolls was in there. Then it was gone in 2 seconds. He usually locks his truck every day when he gets home from work and even checks to make sure at night but he had a migraine and went to bed early. Sooo I had to give him some money that we had put away to go towards paying the second mortgage ($300) this friday.

Then my daughter needed a new backpack for school (high). Soooo we went to the mall and bought a JanSport backpack. They are the best. She gets one every year and beats the tar out of it and they last the whole year but look pretty scary by then. If I buy cheapy ones they don't last. It was $29.99 and to afford it:

* I returned a $10 birthday present (half of the gift) I bought my friend 3 weeks ago and never saw her (I will get her another one later),

*cashed in four $3 Pinecone research checks totaling $12 and

*used a 20% off coupon at the store. So 24.99 with 20% and minus $22 for a total of $2.99 not including tax.

Then we went to Victoria's Secret and used a coupon they sent us for a free panty :-)
