Got my list made

Well I got my list made yesterday morning while other paperwork was being done at the kitchen table. I knew I woulden't have much room with everything scattard about. My Hubby of course was shocked that my list was growing like a bad weed for the week. All I can do is tackle the list one thing at a time and go from there. I was suprized that I got as far as I did yesterday and I diden't have to lift a finger to take the garbage buckets out at all. So that was a good thing since someone else did it for me. Well alot of things are getting unplugged and turned off today around here once again since I was running behind all day yesterday and what suprized my Hubby was that almost everything was still turned off by the time he got back from loading. He should be in Indiana at the moment. Anyway I am off to start cleaning once again for today and see how much more I can knock off the list that is fairly cheap around here. Ok folks have fun and play even harder.

Well lets see

I got further yesterday than I thought after the dishes and the welfare office. I took a friend up there to get his card back after the rumor mill thru his new one out before he could get it from her abnoxious self. Today I get to clean some more and pay another bill of course. That is the bad part of being the homemaker around here but, it also gets me out of the can into some fresh air also in the same token. So I will begin the day here infront of the computer then go start cleaning after I get done here. I want to see in how far I get with the list that I have that is still left of course. That is the joys of one person cleaning and 2 messing for me. Oh well I better get a move on around here and start the day. Have fun and play hard.

Well still waiting

I am waiting for the appliance that I ordered on Saturday.  Alot of folks don't know about the safty features on the food proccessors that they all have.  I say about 20 years ago the government made manufactures put a safty feature on as of if the lid is not propperly in place on the bowl then it will not turn on.  It has saved my household more times than not.  While I was babysitting several kids over the years I had the one that I have plugged in and was doing BBQ sauce in it.  So I took off the lid and had my fingers in it when one of the kids desided to turn it on.  It dident come on becuase the lid was off.  And the child got even madder at me becuase they wanted to see what would happen.  Right after that I stoped sitting for those children that day.  All thier mother could say was sorry.  I was overly mad after that point in time.  Still to this day thier mother can't stand when I walk into thier place that all 4 children listen to me better than they do her.  Part of the problem is I take no mercy for the one who messed up and that has helped.  Thier father is the same way.  So anyway today is one of them days of makeing lists for next week so I can start cooking once again and all the children that I had in and out of the house miss all the cooking.  Now for this week I diden't call the electritions house to see if they wanted to come over for the holidays at all.  Not after what they did to me for the last one.  I would rather eat alone again.  Not giveing the phone call by that Monday just frosted me totally to say that they were not coming over at all.  I had to call the day before and find out that way.  Thank goodness there was another person here to help me eat a 20 lb bird that I had pulled.  So now I will not call them to come over at all anymore.  I have came to the point of you can only slap me with words for so long before I drop that person on the curb and really speak my mind weather they like it or not.  That is why more than likely that the electrition and his wife haven't been over niether since he got home.  Pluss after I have gone even cheaper around here niether one of them like it.  I have lost some folks who I thought were friends over the fact that I had to start streaching out everything around here.  And watching every dollar coming in and out of the can.  Not only that I have realized also with some folks if you are broke they will be your friend and once everyone starts working again that the same folks don't want nothing to do with you after that becuase my budget doesen't change after I start back to work outside of the can.  It is also pretty bad when a truck driver makes more money than an electrition does.  I will keep my cheap and frugal ways for my place and still spend under my budget time and time again.  December and January are always bad months around here anyway.  That will never go away.  So I try to keep a full stock on what I need for the place anyway then it is cheaper all the way around.  It has also helped me in the long run with winters around here.  Ok now to start makeing my list of things to do for next week and a few other things for the can.  Have fun and play even harder.

Next on the list

One thing about keeping a list in my household is that I can say what I did during the day and week.  When the Hippy comes home and asks what I did all week I look at him and want to kick him half the time.  Now I can say that the laundery is costing me pennies a day to do around here.  That is one thing that all of us were laughing in the checkout lanes in Target on black Friday this year.  When I looked at the guy straight faced and said that my bed was to big for the blankie he threw down.  King sized bed and a Queen sized blankie.  So now I will find another 3 blankies here soon after the hollidays altogeather.  I will hit the Dollar stores once more for extra blankies and more towels.  I noticed that the ones I cover the chairs with are looking pretty sad.  Well I havent bought towels really since a store of D&K closed up here.  I use to walk there and get a cup of coffee while I was at it all after I broke 3 fingers on one hand.  The good times to where I could get things cheap and not worry about it.  Like thermal shirts for alittle over a dollar a piece untill they went on sale there.  I miss the place totally.  Now I can still walk up to several dollar stores and go from there.  I can laugh about some of it only becuase at times it was so cold walking and the snow hitting me and I still do not mind walking when it is cold outside.  Well better jackets and a few other things came along thru the years also while I was at it all.  And I have got alot cheaper over the years also since I do not have a spoiled brat here.  All 3 years almost 4 now and I diden't have to go dirt cheap all at once.  There is a long story behind it and I can say I still diden't get Liberty-Ann at all as she did me a favore for a change.  And that sums it all up in a nut shell.  Pluss I still owe it to the Judge for a bottle as a huge thanks.  I haven't forgot the man at all.  I still have a smile on my face after almost 4 years so it is a very good thing.  Oh well such is life and there will always be more questions in life than answers anyway.  Have fun folks and play even harder.
