walked with mom for 55 min

Lots of family issues going on right now. My cousin lost a custody suit for her kids for which I am happy. She put the kids in a situation where they were sexually abused. She's also into drugs, and possible prostitution. So even if it pi$$es off some members of the family I think the kids wellfare whould come first and I'm glad she lost.

My sister is talking divorce and I don't know how that will turn out. In one way it will be better in other ways it will be much worse. Bad situation regardless especially for my nieces. They love both their parents and it's hard on them.

Got groceries at King Soopers and spent $39.28 saved 35% according to the receipt.

Went to the library and read two magazines: Money and Smart Money. Picked up my holds.

3. I'm going on vacation for a week this month so I'm not setting any eating out goals. I know I'll be eating out a lot. My goal is to spend $300 or less on my vacation.
