no spend/ budgeted spending unnecessary/ unbudgeted spending hung laundry to dry
completed home improvement project I got up early and was able to get 2 loads out on the drying racks over the course of the day. DH and I got our new storm door installed and the exterior door painted installed the closet organizer system in the master closet. We've had that organizer sitting in the utility room for 2yrs now, so glad it's finally done
Went food shopping. Picked up beach chairs and umbrella for our beach vaca next month, overspent at WM, stopped in JoAnn Fabrics for elastic thread for DD1's dresses and overspent by a little there. *sigh* I have got to stay OUT of the stores. 
although *I* am 
b/c we had to have the HVAC guy out this morning. Our A/C wasn't keeping up w/ the heat wave and we needed some freon and a recharge, $120 later, *sigh*, not budgeted but definitely necessary. It also led to b/c we think our thermostat isn't working right, so we're installing the new one we've had kicking around for 6 months. Had well-child visits for 2 kiddos this morning. Not going anywhere the rest of the day. DH "needed to get out of the house" so we went to the Air & Space Museum, admission was free, but parking was $15. Then we decided to eat out on the way home, $32. While we were at the place, DS2 got his finger caught in the hinge side of their heavy entry door and we ended up with an urgent care visit, $25 copay, that landed us at the hospital having X-rays done. His finger has no fractures, but now we're going to have medical bills to pay *sigh* 
Picked up our bulk meat order today, had dinner at my parents' while we split the order up. Play date scheduled at friends' house. Don't plan on spending ANY money. Got pizza. x2 Got up early again, hung the laundry. It dried quickly, so I was able to squeeze another load out there. Went to WM to get refreshments for our church youth activity we're sponsoring, stayed well w/in budget. Didn't plan well for dinner, so while out running errands, stopped at grocery store and picked up requests from kids. Cheaper than eating out, but still un-budgeted. but not really. I found part of DD2's Christmas gift on ebay. They're difficult to come by, so I grabbed it 
Had McD for dinner. Spent like CRAZY today!!! Chili's for lunch, stopped at JoAnn Fabrics for a quilting ruler and thread (on sale, but still not needed), bought goodness knows what at Target, and made a stop at Rite Aid on the way home.
