Now I know why

Well now I know why I flipped out on my Husband this week.  Knowing that some things are due here for the place and he wants to keep lending out money like it is nothing at all.  So I put a stop to that right quick as of yesterday here totally.  Now at this point in time I will be doing alot of thinking here for the place and do not mind it what so ever.  Also just to get everything down in the bills at this time here it would be even better on my part of things here.  Alot of it is on myself anyway since I am the only one in the household to cut the bills as normal here.  With alot of things that are going on here in the place at this time and I am thankfull that I did get smart about the backstock that is here also we should be ok for the time being also on parts of the house once I think of it all.  This is why I have started to cook on the cheap yet again for the household.  At this point in time I am sure that my Husband does not mind this part of what I am doing at all here for food along with how and where I pick up it all up from also.  Another thing is that since I am watching everything coming in and going out of the place at this point in time here I may as well start in on the whole budget on reworking it here also.  With that being said here it is not as simple as some will make it out to be at all.  It is part of the household that is dreaded and that goes without the other things that need to be done also where everyone is at at this time.  Since all of the prices are going up without the paychecks going up it seems a never ending battle at times for some of us here.  Alot of the times here I do not even feel like I am depriveing myself at all with cutting things off during the day here and shopping in where I do alot of the times.  With that being said here this is part of the reason of why I have been hanging laundry up also while I have been at it all.  And of course I was out there somewhat freezeing here to get 2 loads out on the lines.  Another thing is that since I will be cooking alot more on the cheap to start saving money here on that part of things it will not be so bad at all by the time I get into the swing of things again for the household.  Some of what I will be doing here is going to the dollar stores around the area here along with the cheaper end grocery stores to get things for the household at this time.  I may as well do what I have to do to make a point to some people that are here in the place.  With my mind being made up for that part of the household here some will have to deal with it out of me.  Also I will start walking more while I am at it here from the house since I am close to some of the stores.  The bigger hauls for the house will be different to say the least here with a roll cart.  In what will be going on here from now on will be alot more things being done on the cheap side. 

Shaking my head

Well I will be hitting up alot of things this afternoon for the household.  Since my Husband swears up and down that we are further in the cheapness in the household than we are here he has another thing coming at this point also.  So as I sit here and knowing in what I have to do here for the place to get it that much cheaper here some will understand once I start hollering again about things.  That means no extra lights burning in the place at all if and when he comes home on the weekends from now on along with alot of other things that are getting smacked out of the household.  So I have been wandering in what some have been thinking at this point in time in what I have been doing here in the household again.  Since the budget has got alot tighter here for the place and other things falling here to get things done it makes me wander totally.  So I will be working on the bills from now on here along with saying no more also here on alot of things.  I guess I am tired of getting used for money yet again.  Now it has came to the point of just doing around here and keeping things off around here again along with other things for the place.  Also here it has hit me in what else that I can do for the household.  Part of it is a guilt trip on my Husband here to go along with going without myself again here from now on.  With that being said here I have noticed afew things that have been said as of late here from my Husband.  So now I will do what I have to during the week from now on and get things done that way for the household.  It goes along with getting food on the cheap so I can cut the costs there, and using the back stock in the household.  Also I will cut other things down totally since my Husband wants to do something else here while we are at it all.  Maybe that is part of it here is that I am sick and tired of some things that have been going on also here for the household for many years.  So I have several options yet for what needs to be done here and go from there at this point in time.  Also another thing is that I can shop once a month here and say tough on alot of things for the place now.  So today is one of the days that it is a toss up on what I will be doing here and some housework will get done while I am at it all.  So I will be making a list up here to see how and where I land on alot of things here and show my Husband in what is going on and what I have been thinking about also for the place.  There are alot of things that I can still cut out and may as well jump in with both feet again here even though it will drive me nuts to do so here.  Now at this time I will see in how today goes with some things that will not go on untill late in the evening here while I am at it if I can last that long. 

Shaking my head

Well at this point in time here I am wandering in what I can do here to get the place that much cheaper and have already started unplugging things this early in the morning.  My Husband started laughing on Sunday when I called him back to say that some things hurt already and that I had walked a mile and a half that morning.  Knowing that I should have pulled either the bread machine out or the KitchenAid mixer out one to make pizza here for the day and that did not get done at all.  Ok so I was being lazy somewhat when I knew I already had some pizza that was in the freezer on the main floor here in the place.  Now I will have to start with alot of things here also for the household since alot of the garden is still going and need to start picking.  This is where I need to run the food dehydrator, the KitchenAid stand mixer, along with the bread machine to get alot of things done here for the place soon.  Since I have been stalling on alot of things here for the week so far it is ok at this point in time.  Knowing that some things need to be dug up here soon out of the garden here and some of it will last for a month untill the hollidays along with part of it will go next door since I did promise some sweet potatoes to them here.  This is where the both KitchenAid mixers come in handy totally in my household.  The funny thing about alot of this here is that the stand mixer gets used alot during the winter months here and the hand mixer will get used also just as much totally this year also.  It is one of the best things that I have bought over the years.  When I started saving up for the stand mixer at the trailer and figuring that once I got it there would be no more sparks thrown across the kitchen and I was right.  It was strange for the next holliday there since I was use to blowing the hand mixer up with what I was making.  Then I ended up with the hand mixer from KitchenAid also for the house since I needed something smaller also for the light work of making everyday food without having to drag out the stand mixer also.  With the up coming hollidays here I may as well use both of them here and go from there.  Now here I will say it has been cheaper for the years that I have had the stand mixer here since I do not need the back up mixers as years prior to the point of that Black Friday when I had enough to get the stand mixer.  Some of us still are laughing about that part since many of the neighbors were standing in line also that day.  Anyway at least I can say here when I need and want to get cheaper I can do it here also.  The nice thing is that since I got back into the swing of things again here in the past several months I have not been cut down for what I am doing yet again.  Also I have been breaking out the cheaper end of things with cooking here while I have been at it.  With that being said here there are still other areas that I need to work on with the household and it all takes some time to get things done here.  Since I am sitting in the dark still with one candle lit it makes it easier on me also and gets me going for another cheap day here.  Now here since I have housework to get done and then head out of the house here for awhile I may as well get started on some things now to get them done for the day.

Looking around again

Well alot of what I did yesterday after all said and done was to look around the place to see what else I could cut on.  It never fails that I can find at least something here in the household to cut down on or to cut out of the budget here totally.  The funny thing is that I did talk to my Husband yesterday here and he asked in what I had done for the day at that point in time.  So I told him straight out that the computer was off for most of the day by that point along with afew other things and he about freaked out here on what I was doing for the weekend.  All I could do was laugh about it and go from there.  Also I got asked if I had threw in a load of laundry for the weekend here and I said no not with the rain at all also.  Since I have several more weeks here of nice weather somewhat outside I will hang the laundry on the lines untill about when the snow flys this year.  I may as well do that part for the place totally since the power bill is still way up there for my budget.  The nice part about all of the cutting down here is that things still stick around to the point of I can not streach them out any further than what I do already.  Since alot of things have been switched over here to the cheaper end of things it works out for the best here in the place.  Pluss not only that some people that were coming over all of the time and have stopped at this point wander in what I am really doing here since they do not have a clue anymore.  The whole thing here is that I have switched to almost the cheapest dish soap, bar soap, along with the shampoo, and conditioners for the place.  Next is the cleaner for the spray cleaner for the bathroom here.  That is what I have not switched over as of yet here at all.  With the cleaning rags that get used here for the household for the mess in the kitchen and the bathroom at this time it has cut down my paper towel use totally.  I still have an 8 pack of paper towels that I had bought last year in November that I picked up after I got home from Illinois.  That has bothered some people to no end in what I have done on that part since I was at the trailer and that habbit came to the house also after the both of us moved in.  Also I had a stack anyway of hand towels at the trailer that were really to big for the kitchen and got to thinking if I use that then I do not need the paper towels at all along with working at the time in the hotels.  So now here I have saved over 5 grand here in about 10 years by doing that.  Another thing is when the hand towels and dish rags get to ratty for the dishes and drying my hands here I throw them into a bucket to use here for cleaning.  I know that there was not any paper towels back in the 1800's and early 1900's at all and they used rags for cleaning back then.  So now here I have noticed that since I have been alone for the weekend it seems like I do not need alot of things to keep myself busy along with seeing in what gets done on the cheaper side of things.  Some people have not got that part about me at all as of yet and may not ever get it at all.  It seems strange that alot of things can be streached out here to the max without anyone being here also.  All I can do is shake my head on some things that have went on and think of better ways of doing alot more for the household at this time.  The auto flow adjustment on the washer helps out also for part of the housework along with other things that have been done.  Things like one sinkfull of soapy water and the other sink of rinse water, stopping the water in the bathroom when soaping up along with not flushing all of the time also here saves money.  Now to see what I can get to for the day on cleaning and go from there.

Clearing out

Well I got some of the clutter out of my mind this morning already here.  Pluss I ended up walking a full mile and then some already here for the day.  That is one of the bad parts here for myself and I got to thinking about alot of things while I was out of the household.  Since I have a ton of things to do for the place this week here along with trying to get my walks in also it should not be so bad here after I get started for the week today.  It all works out when I am alone here and get the chance to think on things and how to do them better for the household.  May as well think on alot of things here as of now since I have time to do all of this also.  With yesterday I ended up having my Husband go into a store with me here and he seen what the one dish soap costs at the normal price that they sell it for.  He about freaked out once he realized that 79 cents was not that bad at all.  I saved over a $1.20 when I picked alot of it up here in Febuary on sale per bottle.  I had to laugh here since I know what and why I did that part of things for the household at the time.  Also at that point I knew that I needed to stock up on some things after all that happened at the time.  Anyway here my week has started this morning here already and I do not mind that part at all.  Now that I can get alot of things done early here for the household it will not be that bad this week after I get started on what needs to be done.  When I started thinking yesterday after my Husband left to go back to work for the week I know in what I have to do at this time here for the place totally and this morning confirmed it all here.  That is the bad part and I am willing to get cheaper than snot from now on for the place.  The coffee keeper will help out alot here for the coming months along with the candles that I picked up.  Now I get the non smelly ones because of the birds in the house to use them for light in the mornings.  Also I will be figuring out in how to do alot more here for alot less money to keep the place going for a good while.  That part is the biggest battles that everyone has anyway is to try to keep everything down in the costs.  With that being said look for the sales in the stores and have coupons on hand also to help along with start talking with the family to get everyone on the same page also to help out on the bills.  Another thing that I have noticed here for the house over the past 22 months that we have been here is that I can close some of the doors to rooms that are not being used at all and that helps out on the heating and cooling on the place and bills.  What alot of the problem is in todays world is that nobody goes outside anymore to do anything.  With that part I know my mother shoved me outside all of the time growing up and hung the laundry up out on the lines.  Since there are gaming systems, computers, and T.V.'s in todays world why should kids go outside and get fresh air and to play.  It costs less to have the kids out playing and using their brain for other things to be creative than it is to make them stay in the house all of the time.  When I was baby sitting 5 kids at once here I got told that I could not let the 2 younger children outside at all period.  I got them out of the house for fresh air anyway and got them to like it totally.  Also the youngests legs started to straighten out while I was at it.  The poor babes legs were bowed since almost everyone carried her around.  With alot of the things that went on I gave up and could not work under the conditions that the parents wanted me to at all since one was totally lazy and the other catered to the father and the lazyness.  Also the T.V. would be turned off so the kids would go outside totally.  So now some have figured out that I was right on alot of things and ran with it all.  Pluss some knew that I was the cheap one anyway out of the bunch here also and ask me still in what can they do to help with that part of things.  With that part here I was still trying to get the bills down for my own place and going with it.  Now I can get the bills down here and still have to work at it hard. 

Wandering here

Well at least at this point it is looking like a very cheap weekend that is coming up here for the household yet again.  Since the beans have been soaking here totally for almost 15 hours I might be ok on that part of things here for the weekend.  So now at this point I do not need to run everything for the weekend here at all and that might help out totally here.  The nice thing about all of this is that some things will never change out of me to use less of things here in the household.  May as well do even more and see how that part goes here for the place and this weekend is a good place to start totally on alot of it.  With alot of it here for the household is that I am still trying to save up for some things and it is not working at all at this point in time.  All I can do is blame myself on that part of things and try my best to get my toush into better gear on alot of things here in the household and tell people no again on alot more.  Since I am going to be alone it will help out to get my mind off of things totally here and straightened out also.  The walks will help on that part of things also this weekend for that part.  With alot of things going on here in the household it  makes me wander if I am still doing the right thing for the place with getting that much cheaper.  All I can do is get into the cheaper pace of life with both feet here and be done with it again.  While I am at it here I guess that I will get more walks in here also to help with that part of things here.  Since alot of the stores are near the house here I can get the walk in and pick up afew things also here without a problem or go out and make a wish list for the household.  Either way I will be out of the house here and that part does help out with the attatude here.  So now at this time I have to figure out in what else that I need to do to get the place alot cheaper and not drive my Husband nuts while I am at it all.  Since I do alot of the housework myself that is half the battle here on most of trying to get cheaper.  Also I do not take my Husband with me alot of the times here to shop for the household.  That is another big help on things here also while I am at it.  Now lets see what I can do for the place today here and I might have a clean house by Sunday here while I am alone.

Shaking my head

Well at least I know of why I am trying to get that much cheaper here in the household at this time.  When some have lied in what they have done in the past almost 4 years for the states it makes me sick totally at this point in time.  As I say that some would never be able to live off of some incomes that are going into households at this time and never could.  So now as I sit here and still have 5 loads of laundry outside since it refused to dry on me yesterday here I will get them down as soon as the dew of the morning dries on them and put more out on the extra pole that is out in the yard.  When some say that the dryer only costs them and extra 20 dollars a month to run also for their place I do not believe it at all since it is over 60 dollars here where I live for 5 loads of laundry.  I guess this is why I have been hanging laundry more and more for the past 22 months here in the household.  With that said here I started looking the other day while I was out to see what I could do when I ran out of the laundry soap and fabric softener also and it will work yet again with what I had seen.  Finally the manufacture got off their toushes for the one laundry soap that I was using at the trailer and it is thicker than snot again coming out of the bottle.  So back to the other when I start running out here for the household.  It is the laundry soap that if you were not paying mind to and used to much that the suds would come out of the washer on ya.  Also there are alot of other things that will be done here from now on also for the household since I got the power bill yesterday and the drop was not big enough for me at all.  My Husabnd started laughing about it untill he realized that I can get it below what others want me to here for the place.  The bad part is that I know in what I can do here for the household and will do it to have money by the end of the month here totally.  That is what has scared alot of people that knows me since I have been right down the middle on alot of things that I have done so far here also.  At this point nobody has got hurt in what I have done and they won't niether at this point in time.  With what I have seen out of some people here in the area totally alot of them waste money on alot of non since for thier place over the past weekend here.  I was in shock since some just do not care at all in what is going on.  When I told my Husband here on Tuesday that we were having soup for the weekend here he said fine with me.  It has came to the point of streaching everything out even more for the place that we are in.  So now here if I make to much of things I can always freeze them back since we never know in who will be over here at any time over the weekend.  The funny thing is that now I do have some things on had totally and it will always be like that here for the household.  As some say that I can make something out of nothing and it is true here.  This is why I will have flour, eggs, pasta, butter, yeast, rice, some meats, onions, garlic, and soup base for the household.  That is what I can do for the place and make meals out of what is here.  I got really good at it years ago and will start that part of life again here very soon without the worries of someone cutting me down for it here.  Just like I got supper here in the household for under 5 dollars and had leftovers also while I was at it all.  That is what hurts some people that know me here totally and they still can not understand of why I do the things that I do here for the place.  Now at this point I may just break out the dried beans for this weekend also here so we can eat also and feed people that come over also here.  Anyway with the gas prices going up all over the place and some people can not under stand in why other things go up also at the same time it is easy to see it with some of us here.  And to see Mouchie the food police in some households now to see what we really do with what little food we do have totally.  She would be shocked in what some of us can do with hardly anything in the household and still eat good. 

Busted day

Well I did get some things done yesterday here and it was still not enough of course.  But then again that is what happends here when I get a phone call here asking me to come pick him up also here yesterday morning.  Since I made it out to Aldi yesterday for alot of things here for the household I paid half of what the other stores wanted for almost the same thing totally.  So I got that part done and will get back out there a month from now for a big shopping trip for the household of course.  With that being said here there are ways to save nomatter what goes on and most of the time the grocery bill gets the big old ax first in the household also.  The other bills take sometimes 2 years to get them to drop if you have been in a place for awhile.  With that being said here that is why I do not freak when the companies charge more every other month here for myown place.  When I ask them to come out to read the meters here every other month they normally do since I have pitched total fits over the phone and was right in what I said here to them also.  There are alot of things that can be done totally in the household to get the bills down nomatter what you do.  I do not run alot of lights anyway here for my own place at all along with other things it cuts down on alot of the power totally.  I have also got use to not having much on during the day here also while I have been at it all.  There are times when alot of noise is really not called for in some households at all.  Since the birds chatter alot of the times here who needs any more noise than that for the day.  Anyway with today I will be getting to the laundry here in the household since the pile grew in size and something has to be done about that part of the housework totally for the day here.  That goes with alot of other things that have to be done here also since I have been somewhat slacking on that part while I have been at it.  So I am looking for a long day here nomatter in what I do here.  Oh well I guess it could be worse here other than hanging laundry outside and getting fresh air into the house with the dishes getting done here also.

Shaking my head

Well at this point in time I need to get to the laundry today.  I am going to try and dodge the rain today so I can get at least one load out on the lines here today.  What gets to me is that there is never a break for what goes on here at all with the housework.  I do try to keep up with alot of things here in the place and sometimes it does not work as I want it to.  With that being said here I guess this is why I try to get things done on the cheaper side of life now more than ever here.  I have got back onto the ban waggon for alot of things again here and see no other option for it at this time.  For a good while I had gave up on alot of what I was doing at the trailer when we got here to the house.  When I got cut down the way I did for 16 months after moving into the house here I gave up on alot of things.  Also I figured that I was useless anyway and why bother with it for that long.  So now here since I got my sinces back for the household again it seems like I am working harder than ever here in the place again.  That is why it makes me wander in why others do not care at all in what they do and they expect that others do what they all do from place to place also at this time.  Maybe it is for the best that I get things done on the cheap here totally.  Since it does bother some people that have known me over the years here, I may as well get as cheap as I can for the place.  Also yesterday some things smacked me of course here again in what has been going on and the why's of it all.  Since there is alot of things here for the day that needs to be done I may as well start in on it now here and get things done early for the day.

Wandering

Well I am wandering now in what will go on for today here.  Since I will be gone for a couple of hours today here the laundry has to wait untill at least Thursday around here totally.  With that being said here I may end up finding a job here today and I am not sure about that part of things also for the day since I will be out paying bills here this morning.  The joys of running a household totally from this point of view either way I look at it here.  With November almost here I may as well go and look even if it is for a few months to get out of the house also if I get hired someplace.  I was reading this morning that some people are having a rough time of it now here all over the place.  It just reminds me of why I started cutting back on the budget years ago at the trailer and I am still working on the budget at this time.  Even my Husband was shocked in what I was still doing after all of these years and that I have not gave up on what I was doing at all here, even though it seems like it at times.  So now here with alot of things that are going on here in the household and with the things that have been kept up with along with being cut down I guess that in the past 8 months here I have not done to bad at all here.  Since my Husband called me last night also and said that we both sent someone into almost tears with the care package that we sent down to the kid it was all good.  I have a feeling that Mom and Daughter will be fighting over a coat that I picked up for 2 dollars at a yard sale this past summer.  I figure to get something like a winter jacket here for a teenager a size to big so she can put sweaters on under it and still have enough room in the jacket also.  So now here I can say that it does pay off to be cheap at times for the place.  Also now my Husband has realized that I am getting into the back stock here to streach out the dollars for the household at this time.  The funny thing about all of it is that now for the household some things will go quicket than others and that is how it will go for awhile.  Pluss prices will go up again here this month again according to some folks since some things ran out in the bills from the government yesterday.  At this time I have been trying to get food for under 150 dollars a month for 2 kitchens and it has not worked at all.  Also here I will have to find a way to really get that part of the household that much cheaper here while I am at it for the next several months for the place.  I do that part every year here and that will never change at all.  As a friend of mine said to me this past weekend here that she was broke also here and this month was going to be worse on her since her car is up this month also.  With both plates and inspections due here on both the car and the truck I told her that I could not lend out anymore here.
