Tips for Busy, Budget-Minded Moms

Whenever you can, consolidate tasks to make more time in your schedule.

Don’t run errands every day. Save the errands and do as much as you can at one time.

Fold laundry while watching your favorite television show.

Bring work/tasks with you to children’s activities. You can get a lot done while waiting in the carpool line or at swim practice.

Add a little relaxation to your commute by listening to books on tape.

Chapter Thirteen

“What will you do now?” I asked.

“Follow her,” he said, fastening his seat belt. “I’ll call Gary when she stops and have him keep an eye on her.”

I didn’t want to leave Mitch, but I had to get to the funeral. I still had the photo of Colonel Pershall in my van and I’d promised Denise I’d get it to the chapel, so I really should get there early to get it in place before the mourners arrived.

Mitch saw me hesitating and said, “Trust me?”

I’d trusted Mitch for years. We’d spent a lot of our marriage apart with him jaunting off to different parts of the world and I’d decided early on that I had to trust him. I knew some wives who constantly checked up on their husbands when they were away and always suspected trouble, but I’d vowed not to do that. Mitch was trustworthy. “You know, that’s one thing I’ve never worried about. Now’s not the time to start,” I said as Carrie’s car rolled out of the driveway.

“I’ll be at the funeral. I may be late, but I’ll be there,” Mitch said.

“I’ll save you a spot at the back.”

I pulled on the handle, but he put a hand on my arm and said, “Wait until we see which way she goes.”

Carrie backed into the street, her car pointed in our direction.

“Down,” Mitch said, but I was already scrunched over.

The car surged by us and we cautiously popped our heads back up. “Okay, she’s turned,” Mitch said and then gave me a rather lingering kiss.

“You’re going to lose her,” I said, a bit breathless.

“Nope. Base speed limits, remember? Plenty of time.” He smiled as I stepped out of the car, then he spun the wheel into a U-turn and was off.

I hurried to the van and executed my own U-turn, or I tried. A car parked on the opposite side of the street forced me to make a three-point turn. A minivan isn’t the ideal choice for shadowing another car. Good thing Mitch was doing the tailing. When I finally got to the corner, I could see Carrie’s blue Accord at the four-way stop at the edge of base housing. Mitch was hanging back with another car between him and Carrie.

Carrie turned right at the next street. It ran the length of the base and would end at the front gate. I watched Mitch let another car slide between him and Carrie before making the turn.

I signaled for my turn—the base cops are sticklers for obeying traffic rules—and turned into the chapel parking lot past the sign that listed the service times for Protestant and Catholic services.
