Our daughter has spring break this week, which unfortunately never coincides with mine. All this means is that she is with me at the university and that all adds up to additional expenses including parking, lunches out (a treat!), and ibuprofen for me.
I'm hoping for a calmer week next week!
Lots of "little" expenses

Aldi sells a 50-count box/bottle of Ibuprofen for $.99 and yes, I have used it and it works no more/no less than any other Ibuprofen I have used, including Advil.

Our daughter is off this week, too. She's 12, though, so not a problem. DW only works part-time so it isn't much of an issue anyway. She'll be home alone for a few hours tomorrow morning and come to work with me on Thursday. Otherwise, DW and DD will be together.

She's only 5 and she walks really really slow (or runs like a banshee). I also carry a bag with lots in it--my textbooks and papers and coffee cup and all sorts of assorted junk. DD wanted her DVD player and snacks and all that kid junk (crayons, coloring books, etc) with her, and I couldn't face my normal 6-block walk with all that, trying to hold her hand, and taking twice as long!
It was my own choice, but a necessary evil, I'm afraid.
