Another day no dollars

We have been really struggling lately.  For one we just went on vacation to see Billy's mom in Kansas.  We also saw a lot of other people including my mom and siblings.  However, we spent a lot of money to go, it was needed just saying it costs a lot to keep gas in that big van.
Anyway, bobby had borrowed money from her dad and she finally got paid she thought she gave her dad a hundred dollars but he doesn't remember and the money is completely gone, we can't find it anywhere.  It's so frustrating, and bobby has been super upset.  Hopefully she finds it soon or we do.  
I just don't like the idea that a hundred dollars is just floating around somewhere.  
Elizabeth is supposed to be doing an end of the year research project on the invention of the light bulb ugg... No fun for me.  I have to go get some books At the library for her and help her do the bibliography before Monday, then we have to do the web of ideas next week and then we have three days the next week to get the paper started and at least the rough draft done.  No fun at all but we will prevail and get this paper done.  Elizabeth has been doing really well on her school work but these papers are a real pain in the behind.  It takes a lot to help her get these papers done!!
Billy took Daniel to work with him today so it's just Elizabeth and I at home today.  It's kind of nice, but then when Daniel comes home from working with his dad I normally have to really get onto him because he feels like a man, so he treats his sisters like slaves.  He has tried to boss me and talks back sometimes.  But it just takes a couple days to get him back to the teen he actually is.  Daniel does do well at work with his dad and hopefully it got through to him when I read to him in proverbs.  I talked to him about the virtuous woman and how that's the type of woman he should seek for a wife.  We discussed it together and he told me some of his ideas.  He said if he's looking close enough he shouldn't have to date more than one or two girls.  I told him sometimes its not as easy as that.  Daniel didn't think his future wife should actually buy a field but he thought she should be thrifty and maybe use coupons.  It was really neat to hear some of his ideas.
