    Default Good News!

    February is Patrick's last month at daycare, as I'll be on maternity leave through May and Rob is taking family leave for the month I have to go back to school and my mom is watching the kids while I work part-time this summer.

    So, when planning out the bills, Rob said we didn't have to pay February tuition because we paid a months tuition as a deposit way back when Patrick first started there. I wasn't sure, so I e-mailed the owner of the daycare center, and it turns out he was right! That's $1155 that we don't have to pay!!! So exciting!

    That's a lot of money. It's almost like getting a $1000 bonus.
