Just getting back

Well I just got home afew minutes ago and it is one of them days that some of us should have stayed in bed for the day.  I have to sit around for about 20 min after I get home from the doctors office totally and I will be on the move for alot of the day to say the least.  I guess I will start with the 2 boxes that are in the kitchen around here after I hang up a blanket and start the washer yet again.  As I told one of the girls today I kind of gave you a hint on cooking cheap awhile back.  And I understand on money is very tight in alot of households now days anyway.  With 5 kids under one roof I totally understand what the gal is going thru.  I have been there with 3 mouths to feed and not enough money to go around at all.  Now I sometimes laugh in what I put my step children and my nephew thru years ago and they all ate some way some how and we made things work.  I figured something out as always to feed everyone in the household with me and keep the utilities on for the place.  Did I learn from it all yes and do I still do some things still to this day heck yes I do in alot of ways.  That is what some folks never got about me at all for my own household is that I know what works for a place and alot of it I had to kick back in without even thinking about it all.  Now I get the last laugh over it all and I still get alot done to this day on very little.  With that being said there are some things that I can still do to feed the household and get by with it along with other things that I have done.  Now it seems that my bills have got alot less while I have been up here in NY State.  And they are high around here either way I look at it.  The trick is for the place is to have power strips all over the place and turn them off when you can for the peak hours of the day.  I do not watch T.V. hardly during the day time and that helps out alot for the bill because I flip a switch and the cable box is off along with the T.V. both of them.  It scares alot of folks that I do not really care for some things and I work around them as normal.  Just like hanging up alot of the laundry that there is for the household.  I do not mind it what so ever and It works out for me because it is exercise in my eyes in what I have to be doing anyway.  There are alot of things that I do for when I was in the trailer to now in the house.  Since I have alot of laundry most of it goes up on the lines in the basement here and the drying racks to say the least.  Some of it goes into the dryer thanks to the power company for being totally brain dead also (still shaking my head on that one).  Then there is myself streaching all of the cleaners out including in the bathroom's and that will never change about me at all here.  With some people around they have told me that I am to consistent with alot of things about the household here.  My rules have not changed thru the years on some things and I have got alot more stern on other things for the place.  So now I can say that I have and will continue to put my foot down hard on alot of things that I do and others do in my household.  I have put my foot down on when some leave the chargers plugged in without useing them at all it drives me up the wall to say the least.  Some have not figured this out at all along with other things that they do.  Some holler about paper plates not being in the household here and I look at them and say well if you get them that is fine and it is not for me in my house at all.  I look at it like this if someone wants to pay my bills then fine I will get the paper plates and untill then I do not need something that I can live without and have for years in the household.  That is how I look at things around NY State at this time and will do so untill alot get their acts togeather that is when and if I will spend more money around the place.  If need be I will go cheaper than snot just to prove a point to alot of folks around here and then some when need be.  Just like with the one couple that comes over and complains all of the time at my place.  I got told that their food stamps got cut and I asked how much junk food did ya buy off of them.  The couple could not answer me truthfully at all.  I shook my head and bit my tounge hard becuase I knew in what they did for the month.  So that is another thing that really gets to me around here in NY State is that some people are so sloppy in what they buy while they are on the food stamps it fries me.  Alot of it is just junk food and some others try to get the healthy choices becuase they all know what can happen.  Ok folks I am back to work on the house here and will be back about the food stamps.
