I cannot tell you how ready I am for May to be done with.  We have got so much going on in May that I feel like I have opened up the flood gate on our checking account and am just shooing the money out of the account.  There are dental surgeries, dance recitals, birthdays, weddings, court dates and associated fines, etc.  Somehow we always make it through, but this month is going to be a tough one and on one hand, I have no one but myself to blame.  I know every year that Kaiden’s Recital is in May and every year I do absolutely nothing to budget and save for it.

Every year the costumes are $90 a piece and the photos are around $100 and the Recital tickets for all the family are about $150.00 and the DVD that you have to buy cause you are not allowed to record or take pictures that night is $60 and do I save for it?  Hell no!

Mark my words, I am going to budget this for next year in my Quicken and I will not have to post this same post next year!!!
