I got up this morning pledging to have a $0 day! I have no money in my purse, so I can't run to the vending machine for a coke. I packed dd daughter's lunch and realized she needs $.35 for milk money. So I went searching for it and found it. Ok, so far so good. I packed my own lunch and decided that I would have to drink water with it (I need water anyway!) On my way to work, I decided that I really need to walk tonight. Then I realized that I would need $1 to pay for dd to go to the childcare area while I walk.

Then I get to work and get an email saying that an employee is having surgery today and that we are taking a collection to buy a meal for her.

Does it ever end????? My new plan is to cash a check for $20. Give a couple of bucks for the meal, use a $1 for childcare, and save the rest for dinner on Wed (we have no time to go home between work and church). No money spent on anything else!
