Totally off topic but I wanted to share.

My DH and I have been married going on 5 years. For the first 4 and a half, he worked overnights/holidays/weekends, though he would have Sunday nights off.

Since he wasn't home, my weekends would be spent finding babysitting jobs which in turn would be my money to use whatever I want It was hard because I would work with kids all week and then work weekends. I, too, felt I only had Sundays off.

Then DH got the PERFECT job: weekends and holidays off AND a day shift . Well of course I wanted to spend my weekends with him. However in a small way I still wanted that extra money

So DH came up with the perfect solution. Whatever that is under budget when I go to the grocery store is mine. So if the budget that week is $100- I only spend $50 - I get the other $50

So now...when I go...DH just really doesn't need the chips, dip, cookies etc (evil laugh)
