School funding drama had me in an absolute panic for a week. Total for classes was $1500ish. When the book store portion came through saying I had $700 to use on supplies and books, I kinda figured that meant that was leftover after the tuition was paid. Spent the $700 and when the disbursement came through to pay the tuition, suddenly my balance was $2100 and I was $600 short!
Naturally, they won't talk money over the phone to you, so I finally got down there and the 2nd disbursement hadn't been processed until today.
Now I'm back to having an extra $51 on my school account, which I plan to use to re-stock up on supplies right before spring semester.
Glad it's settled, but I was seriously confused why they gave me such a large book allowance if the full tuition hadn't been paid yet.
In other news, we decided early on that we weren't going to do big birthday parties for the girls. A small family thing with whoever was around family wise and then a little family outing (when they get older, they will be able to invite a friend or 2 along). Since we will be up at the in-laws the weekend before Piper's 3rd birthday, we are going to host a little bigger family thing there to celebrate her. So I need to budget in cupcakes, a few small decorations, and while I'm sure the family will all contribute a pot luck dinner (every family event has a pot luck! I love it!), I need to chip in on that as well. She's currently obsessed with Trolls and Minnie Mouse, so I need to decide which route to take.
