Since school is out for the summer, and we have not been paying $185 a week for daycare, I have been wondering where in the heck our money has gone.
was when I told him we needed to purchase tickets for an outside concert
that we had given as a Christmas gift to friends.
The tickets did not go on sale until the summer,
but we told the friends at Christmas that we owe them a night out
for the concert of their choice.
...which is not even over I might add,
we spent

Brian said we didn't have the money,
...we should just tell them that we can't do it.

So, I got online into our banking account
...to see just where all of this money is going.
In just the month of July I added up all restaurant totals
...including if we just stopped at Wendy's for a Frosty.
I was shocked and disgusted at the total.
