It's just one thing after another. I'm actually embarrassed to type it all out, but the short version is...we've spent about $6k this month. Most of it necessary, some of it frivolous. The only positive is that by my calculations from DH's overtime/per diem, we should only be short a couple hundred by the time the credit card bill is due. I think I can make up that deficit by keeping grocery/miscellaneous funds low. DH decided he didn't need the hotel in the city one night a week, so in the future weeks, we'll save that $200 from his per diem/reimbursement money.
DD2 ended up sick this past weekend which amounted to another $700 vet visit. She's feeling much better. She's still on meds and since she hates pills, it's a bit of a pain treating her.
Upcoming expenses include our $800 car tax bill and my friend's wedding which will necessitate a couple of day's hotel expenses, plus spending money. I do still have our Marriott Rewards card free night, so we'll probably use that to take out one of the nights.

We do have about half of a category 3 stay in points, and given the spending, we should have a bit more in the coming months. I'm hoping to use the free night and get most of another night (although last I checked, our choices in that area were a bit limited, but we'll just drive a bit). The bride did offer her room the night before the wedding since they're staying separate, but I wouldn't feel comfortable having my husband stay there, and if we have to get a room for him, I'd rather stay with him unless she absolutely needs me.
