15 days left on the credit card cycle. Going into summer, with far less tutoring income (if any), I need to buckle down and get the monthly bills down. It will be good to get the checks due to us for medical expenses and such. I have a couple of PT visits to submit. I'll have one more tomorrow, and then I'll need to figure out what I'm going to do.
Dinner tonight is on my in-laws, in honor of DH's birthday. 
That will be fun.
Yesterday was almost frugal...until we went to Ben and Jerry's for ice cream for dessert. Oh well. At least we clceaned out some leftovers from the frig for lunch and dinner.
I need to go to the store for milk and coffee filters, and who knows what else. I got a coupon from the grocery store for organic milk. It was nice to actually get a coupon in the mail that I would use!
I signed up DD for swim lessons twice a week for the month of June. I hope by the end of the month she is well on her way to being able to really swim. If she is, I'll figure out a way to get her into a pool that won't cost me $50/month for a mere one hour a week of pool time. I've had her in Saturday morning lessons for the past few months, just to keep her skills up. I'm also curious to see is, come June/July she gets moved up a level in ballet. It's a possibility, but not a certainty. If she does, lessons go to twice a week and up to about $69/four weeks vs. $37/four weeks.
I had a really bad day yesterday in terms of hs'ing and community. I can't seem to find like-minded hs'ers, and it's really getting me down. I started looking at the private school we'd consider if going that route and wondering if that should or could be an option for us. Tuition starts at $5500/year for first grade. Yikes. We have friends whose son attends - I need to pick their brain a lot and see what they really think about it, and about the kids their son has been meeting, the teachers, the curriculum, the individualism, the institutionalism, etc.
lessons, coupons, school......

Sorry to hear about your troubles Home Educating. I know It is a really good thing I am a loner cause no one I know does it my way. But I should be used to that, no one I know breastfeeds, makes theri own babay food, or avoids CC much either.
