Really good. I spent $35 at the mall getting some last Christmas presents to mail, $25 at the post office and $60 at the grocery store. I saved $77 using coupons I had.

4$ science museum parking (free admit since we have a pass). About 30 at the farmers market 10 in allowance and back allowance for DS (he has kept track for about a month that we owed him an extra week. Little booger).
I think that is it. We had a good weekend. DH gets a gold star bc I was exhausted at dinner time tonight and wanted to order food, so he made the entire meal while I sat on my butt in the living room.
I didn't do too bad. I got some good deals on clothes for DD. She has outgrown a lot of her winter clothes already, so she actually needed them. I bought a bunch of plain long sleeve t-shirts from Children's Place for $3.50/each. I love them.
Friday: nothing Saturday: $30 ice skating with little, $13 hot chocolate and snacks, $40 car wash, $15 parking, $20 gift for little's grandmother Today: $250 Costco, $40 Whole Foods, $36 on cupcakes to take to dinner party, $160 Bloomingdales (gift)
Friday $15 to play bingo with my sister Saturday $20ish at Lowes for a new doorbell and a quart of paint and $7 for movie rentals Sunday $40 at Dillons for groceries and dinner.

I think the getaway would have been unnecessary, but a nice indulgence. Won't be doing it for a long time.
But I'm glad I got about 10 gifts taken cared of this week.
Not at all MM but it was necessary and made me feel so much better after a stressful week.
Fri - Hotel in Austin $110, Sushi $80, Movies $30, ice cream $9
Saturday - Breakfast $30
Sunday - Breakfast $30, Nordstorms Rack $110 (got some great bras and a new long sleeve running top..and a few some gifts), Half Price Books $20 (few gifts) Whole Foods $164
But really I am feeling so much better.. mentally and physically.
