Accountable that is! I just got done running the numbers for the month of February. There was an increase of medical/dental due to my tooth issues and the medications I was on for that. Groceries are a bit high due to the fact that my sister and her family spent 4 days with us.

Still have to work on the miscellaneous items as I know I can do better.

So here it goes....

Car payment 304.42
Car insurance 62.48
Gas for car 142.74 (ugh)

Household utilities 464.13 (large portion was Gas and Electric-living in the North during the month of Feb can be expensive!)

Med/Dental 229.41 (which I expect to be reimbursed for)

Groceries 232.60
Coffee and/or lunch at work 23.63
1 Family dinner out 45.95

Gym Membership 64.95
Life Insurance 30.00

Cash allowance 62.00
Transfer to savings 35.00

Debt repayment 334.17
School loan 77.55

Gifts for 4 bdays 40.44
Clothes 15.75
Book for DD 5.83
New coffee maker 21.00

Other unaccounted for expenses 124.46

Yikes! It's hard to see it out there like that. I know there are many areas that need improvement and that will be my goal for March. I am going to pay extra attention to:
Groceries
Coffee/lunch at work
and all the miscellaneous spending that needs to be reigned in.

In other news I am having my 12 year old neice spend the night tonight. She is going to religious ed with us in the morning and then off to an event for DD First Communion prep. We are re-enacting the Last Supper and have to wear our bathrobes and sandals and eat grapes, pitas, and hummus. Should be interesting. DH is refusing to go so I roped the neice in. We should have a good time if only laughing at each other!

DS got sick in his crib last night. He is only 3 and that is the first time that happened. Poor little guy was scared to death. He is feeling better today so I am thinking it was something he ate. Needless to say I didn't get much sleep last night so I may go take a nap.
