Hell’s Half Acre

It is really obvious we moved from Mexico to the US this month. We had lots of expenses from the broken down Westy (that are greatly reduced by the fact that Jamie did all the work himself). We way overspent on gifts due to Sissy’s birthday and getting ready for Ellen’s (next month). We expected the high gas costs coming from Mexico and the fact that we’re moving around alot more but offset it with no entertainment, eating out and decreased camping. The household expenses exploded after visits to stockup at Costco and Target. My nemesis, Tarjay…
