Where we went over budget

We went over budget for the kids personal category this week.  Our oldest started middle school this week, and there are a lot more expenses there than in elementary school!  The biggest was getting my old clarinet ready for him to play in band.  Oy!  It needed a lot of work.
More bad news was the money we spent on fixing the air conditioning on the van was almost completely wasted.  It worked for all of a couple of weeks, and then went kaput again.  We took it back, but the shop told us it was a different part that needed to be replaced this time (probably because it had been sitting so long unused, and all of a sudden we were using it again), and it would cost another $600 to fix.  No thanks.  We'll pray for cool weather this August and maybe next spring we'll have enough to repair it.
