so we've had dinner at home for the past 10 days, and i'm done. done done done. how many meals can one person make, and not feel like they're repeating them? i know i'm not alone, seems like others are approaching the same rut. at the same time, i know we're saving money (and stress) by eating at home.
speaking of stress, we're planning a trip to napa for a memorial service, taking us away from home from the 19-21st. we're taking r's mom to the service, so we'll save money on the hotel room by staying at her place and driving us there the morning of the service. i told r i would like to limit how much eating out we do-by eating dinner at his mom's, and making sure we're fed the morning of the service. his mom, while a great cook, doesn't always have stuff on hand-at least stuff that goes beyond feeding herself. i told r i don't mind bringing stuff w/ us, or even hitting the grocery store-i just don't want to get walloped by $30 per meal for three meals for each day. that'll add up fast. he's in agreement there. i'm not going to stress out about the travel, the kids, the whole thing is going to be stressful enough for r and his family. we'll get throught it. i know it.

You're smart for thinking ahead and keeping things as frugal as possible while on your trip. I hope that everything goes well, and that your family gets the closure it needs by saying goodbye to R's uncle.
Keep up the good work with eating at home. We're getting closer to the half-way point. And our pocketbooks are thanking us for it.
