Day 150 and what is that loud sucking sound?

Well, it's the sound of our vehicles sucking all the money out of our emergency fund. LOL! We finally got Serenity's car back today. After I pay for the parts, it will be $384 total! On May 2nd after we got our tax rebate, our baby EF was full with $1000. Now it's down to $220! In the last 5 1/2 weeks, we've had $780 worth of car repairs. UNREAL! Once again, thank God for the baby EF and it's time to get busy refilling it. So I guess for now any extra money that we make goes into the EF instead of the debt snowball.

Last night, I made homemade chicken fried steak, oven fried potatoes, and garlic bread for supper. The chicken fried steak was at Tom's request using one of his Valentine's coupons. It's a recipe from my Dining on a Dime book and it uses hamburger meat and is very good. It is a little time consuming and messy, but very tasty. For tonight I've got sloppy joes going in the crockpot, not sure yet what we'll have with it.

The expenses come from having 4 vehicles in your family! Thank goodness Tasha doesn't drive yet. I know it won't be that way for long, though. Maybe they are all fixed now....at least for a while!
