Realizeing why I pulled my hair out in

Well Febuary is always a tough month around here with being a truckers wife. The van failed all togeather and a few other things also. I did manage to save 10 dollars at Kmart today by filling out the card for there off of my bill. Now a friend of mine just called who is just totally broke and said that thier car repairs would be about 2 grand after all said and done. And they wandered why I was broke with the Honda all of the time. Well the van is much cheaper than what I had to repair it. So now I have about 10 days to get the van up to par for the inspection and go from there. At this point I am throwing up my hands to it all and will wait untill tomarrow to do anything around here. Now it has came down to the nity grit of why I wanted to go cheaper here and now I can. At this point I have no choice to do what I really have to do. So now I can get the coupons and start walking every where that I need to go to at this point in time and don't care about it all. It is a quick fix in away but for the long term I can get it all to stick like glue around here untill I can manage a way to get out of here. Now for the next weeks and months coming up you will see a change in how I will operate in the can and on the screan also. Even though I had a somewhat set back with the lazy bump on the log around here. I have picked myself up by the boot straps or by the sling shot straps eather way and will get the place back into shape even if it all kills me to do so. Well I have been pushing so far to get cheaper around here and just haven't done it as of yet and will start doing as of this point today at 340 pm. I am thankfull I still have enough stock in the can that I have pulled back to get started with on the very cheap side of life. Then this way I wont get stuck like a dear friend of mine did when her Husband passed on and left the poor girl broke. I refuse to let any man walk all over me like that. The Hippy just will not do it that way at all. The Hippy is as cheap if not cheaper than I am at times and I do not mind one bit at all. The both of us use what we have untill eather it is so ratty that it hurts or it is so down right falling appart and duck tape can't even bother to manage to help the item anymore. I have a saying in my place if I have to staple straps back up and on then it is still good unless I have wires sticking me and broke then it is time to get new. That is why I woulden't mind haveing my Mother In Law around me to show me how she had done it for all them years. I know that the woman is smileing down on me at this point in time and laughing at me to go cheaper around this place. When there is the will there is the way. I look at it like this meals from scratch around my place since I do not go out to eat hardly at all, then the cutting back on alot of things here also I think I have it all made. That is how I have spoiled myself altogeather around here. Why make a meal when I have leftovers in the fridge for when the Hippy is not home during the week and there is soup on top of it when I run out of the leftovers. That part will never change out of me. Also there are ways of doing in my place that have not been done before also. Now in the past several weeks here I have been getting coupons out of the paper every Sunday becuase that is when they post the coupons here in the area. So I will be cutting down that bill altogeather around here with the coupons. Or 2 bills depending on where I shop at. I have my ways of cutting down on things that woulden't mean squat to others at this point. Like not haveing the T.V. on all day along with the computer. I have been doing that for months for the most part untill the last week that the bump on the log was here and I have got back on track with that once again here. Pluss not only that I have cut at least 2 loads of laundery out also after I threw his toush out of here. With sheets and blankets I do them as needed and when I have a full load also. The blankets also don't reak of loation and bad perfume now. Niether does the can and I can clean the bathroom and other spots of the can and they are pretty much clean for 6 days a week around here. So I will be saveing money on paper towles and cleaners becuase the lazy bum is not here to mess things up right behind me now. At this point I have to really revamp the can and really look into things on a bigger picture around here then rebudget everything. I have been working on the budget for the past 2 months if not longer and will get it done. Now I have the drive toget things done around here even more and I like it. Ok folks have fun and play harder.
