\n- The weather has remained extremely cold. Today is the first time in a week the temperature has been above 45 degrees.\u00a0 We are actually expecting even colder weather next week with the temperature to remain below freezing from Sunday night until Thursday. There is also a chance for snow as well.<\/li>\n
- Zach and Kendall have attended school 4 days in 2024 and if they are able to continue with the schedule they plan. Then they will go 2 out of 5 days next week which will put them at 5 full days in the month of January.<\/li>\n
- On Wednesday this week, I picked up a foster dog who may become a permanent part of our family. He appears to have some hound dog in him and some pit bull.\u00a0 We decided to go the foster route just to make sure that he will be a good fit for us. So far, he appears to be very sweet but is having trouble remembering to pee outside.<\/li>\n
- I am continuing to work on some budget items and plans.\u00a0 I want to make a significant dent in our overall debt but I also realize that we can’t cut back to a bean and rice budget due to the kids and I want my kids to enjoy their high school years not think about what they can’t do.\u00a0 Look for a post in the next week or so with some more specific details.<\/li>\n
- I am staring to look ahead to our junk food Sunday!\u00a0 I plan to purchase at least the chicken wings we need this weekend along with some bacon and sausage that we are currently out of.\u00a0 \u00a0The pantry challenge may be a bit more of a challenge as we look and plan ahead.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
