There is a new dollar store across the street. I hate that place! My kids love going there with their friends and blowing some of their money. When it's only a dollar or two I don't mind so much. Yesterday Trevor went with some of his birthday money, and came back $23.05 poorer. (He made sure I knew the exact amount he spent, down to the cent.) Oh! My! Gosh! What the heck?! He was so proud of himself. He bought something for everyone in the family, a few things for himself, dropped a few small things off with some neighbors and didn't feel at all bad about losing all that money. Ugh! That store is of the devil! I told him he isn't allowed to go back until the end of summer, and even then it has to be with one of us (Kent or myself).
BTW, I am holding onto the rest of his birthday money so he won't be able to go back to the store and the rest of his money. I am just sick. I know that we've taught him better money management skills.
For those of you out-of-staters, the high is going to be 92 today. Yuck! I hate the heat. Please send some of your cool weather and rain our way!

Yes darn that dollar store and the mom driving her kids there and saying have at it! LOL
I don't even drive them. They ride their bikes over with their friends.
At least he was thinking of other people - that's good.
