**I am not thrilled with the totals so far. Eating at McD's certainly doesn't help. On the other hand, that cost fed our family of 9(we had money left on gift cards from Christmas..yeah McD's is a rare treat). We ate out because we unexpectedly did not go home when we went to see hubby's mom for her birthday and we were stuck on the interstate for a long while due to an accident. I do think we'll be doing better soon...I hope.
