So much for Monday

Well I found out another thing as of yesterday.  I am blameing the mother and grandmother for in what happened.  That is all I have to say about that part of it.  So with today I hope it will be better than garbage cans explodeing and putting dents in the sleeper of what my Husband drives.  I can only hear him now in Drill Sargent mode for the kid who exploded the tire.  When the conversation starts out with at least you diden't have to get down to PA to an ER I know it was bad.  What else can I do except sit and worry about some as normal around here.  So with today I just do not care what some say today about myself hanging laundery outside today.  I know alot of folks do not like the fact that I do this part of the laundery around here.  Around here I have been trying to cut as much as possible around here as of the past few months also.  The funny part about that is when I started to do all of this even heavier some diden't realize in what just happened also.  I have to laugh becuase, some have lit the fire that much hotter and bigger undernieth me at this point in time.  When I say this I have got alot cheaper over the month around here.  Now realizeing that everyones power bill went up this past month around the area.  So I will be working on that around the place also here.  With alot of it is the good old waiting game and seeing how long some of us can last here without somethings anyway.  I have got use to some things around here like no T.V. or computer during the day.  It has came to the point where it does not bother me as much at all of not haveing everything on and I get more work done this way also.  It was like when I started useing coupons for the household around here.  It was quite funny to me trying to get a grasp on how to work them at first.  When I started figureing it all out and got good at it alot of folks were hollering at me for what I was doing.  Like the buy one get one free you can use 2 coupons on it when the coupons state for only one item.  Since you are buying 2 then you can use it that way.  Another is if it is 10 for 10 dollars you can use 10 if the coupon states for only one or if it is 2 for a dollar off then you use 5 coupons.  I do not play with rebates at all and the main reason is that I just do not understand them.  So I do not use them.  I have been known with coupons to cut the grocery bill by half to 3 quarters of the total bill for the household.  It is one of the things once you get really good at it then you use the coupons and sales put togeather for the place.  So now I know alot of folks will say look at the stack of coupons the woman has and this will take forever to do.  That is untill they see the end total of the bill that I have and then they are in shock.  Sometimes it takes 5-10 min. to get thru the stack that I have for the grocery store or where I am at.  Also alot of the cashiers that I know do not mind takeing the coupons also from alot of folks.  With what has went on with the prices going up at all the stores some of us are just willing to use coupons to help streach out the money in the household also.  The funny thing around here is that now it is the cool hip thing to streach out the dollars around here.  I know on the morning news they have a segment on where to get the best deals for the money.  What they do not tell you about is how to streach out products in the household and afew other things.  With one of the blogs that I read all of the time I love it when the woman puts up her coupon saveings when she does a heavy duty shopping day.  I am getting back into the coupons myself and it's like rideing a bike you do not forget how to do it.  So with alot of things around here I do streach it all out just to see how far I can push things.  Like with the laundery deturgent instead of going by what the bottle says as of 60 loads I can push it to 120 loads off of the bottle.  Ok with that being said it is time for myself to start another day of house work here and get more done around here.
