I'm going to blow through the rest of my fun budget in one night!

And I might even go over the remaining $85 for this month. My husband and I have been bickering and have had foul moods toward one another for a few months now. We sit down and talk about what is wrong, blah blah. Come up with solutions and either follow through with the solution for a day or so, or just keep talking about doing the things we have deemed as the solution.

Well, one solution that we keep talking about, and we really think will help out more than anything thing else, is a night out and away from the kids doing something fun together. And we want to both sleep in past 7:30 am! So that means we have to pay grandma(in stockpile items-she picked her pay, lol), a motel/hotel, and then our alcohol and whatever else we decide to do.Right now it looks like we will be going to a dance/night club.

My husband picked that,lol. I don't dance but I guess I can try! If I have a few drinks of booze I am willing to try most things. I am usually wasted by time I have more than 3 drinks because I rarely ever do drink so that shouldn't be a problem. I am not sure of the cost of the club or the room we will be getting. We will probably buy our drinks from a liquor store before we go. I have a mail in rebate for $3 back when you buy 2 arbor mist, my favorite! Hopefully there is a motel/hotel near the club so we can just walk. If not we will have to get a taxi or a friend to bring us back to the room. We don't drink and drive and if dh ever thought about doing it I would kick his butt!

So here is my estimate of what everything will cost

grandma -some toothpaste, mac and cheese, cereal, cheese singles, koolaid packets, toothbrushes, shampoo, razors, and some other junk

hotel/motel- $45

alcoholic beverages -$15

couple waters at the club-$5(they over price water at establishments right?)

club admissin-$30

possible taxi-$10

So if everthing cost what I expect it will be $105, $20 over budget.
we will take the extra from next months fun money and only have $80 left for October. I can live with that.

Now I am just hoping my mom's work doesn't decide to work on Saturday.

Sounds like a good time. I bet it will do you some good to get a break.

This is exactly my thinking these days...we all need a night away (for us). I am planning our "date night" next weekend!
