After an unplanned trip to Indiana, resulting in over $300 spent we are now in the hole. School starts tomorrow. Groceries need to be bought. I see light at the end of the tunnel. Tomorrow is at least Friday!
The unplanned trip was to say goodbye to my DH's grandmother. She is 90 years young and now on hospice. Poor woman, her body is starting to shut down. DH will have to fly up there for the funeral -whenever that may be. There will be another $500 at least. New tires for the mini van and an oil change, racked up another $400. I couldn't see putting our family in danger driving through the mountains hydroplaning on tires that you can see the wires.
Everything has had to go on to cc's lately too. I hate it. The vicious cycle- will it ever end? I hope so!

As for the vicious circle...it will end, as you now are aware of it!

On a separate note, $400 for tires and an oil change? What kind of tires could possibly cost that much... because I know it's not the oil change!

Yes, that's how much 4 brand new tires w/ alignment and an oil change cost. At a discount tire store. They weren't the cheapest, but they were not the name brand kind either.
