Parenting 101: The Math Class

June 30, 2005
I stopped by the lab on my way to work this morning to get my TB test read. The medical assistant giggled through most of my two- second "exam," since she couldn't even find where she had poked me. (Think it's negative?) :) I think I won the award for the easiest patient of the day! I didn't even have to go to an exam room; we just stood in the hall and laughed at my arm for a minute. So, she scribbled in my chart, and I was on my way.

We have one more page of paperwork of our homestudy packet to fill out. It's our budget page. It shouldn't be too hard, since we already keep a budget. We are supposed to show that we are anticipating on budgeting for child expenses. So, we're planning on working on that this evening. It's been helpful to wander around stores, and figure out how much formula, diapers, and clothes cost. We had to read up, and find out how many bottles and diapers we would go through per day, and then go to the store and figure out how much we would go through per week/month! Good thing we took math classes before deciding to become parents, huh? :) We've been clipping coupons for baby stuff, too. (If anyone has coupons you're not using, send them along c/o The Clearance Queen.) just kidding! :)
