Going cheaper

Well I am going that much cheaper around my place here and I am feeling alot better today also.  With everything going on and the prices are still going up around the area I may as well go that much cheaper around the household here.  So now at this point since I am working part time around here totally and have some insight on things with some folks here I got asked again here in how I did everything and still be cheap around the household here also.  I started laughing and said it was second nature with me here after all of these years and practice on top of it all.  My first thing was that hold a family meeting and try to get everyone on board and it will take awhile also with everyone except the girls since they are young enough to grasp this totally.  So at this point in time here there are alot of things going on and some have not figured out some things also in what is going on here.  What it is here is that I work on things all of the time here and still cut things out of the budget totally.  There are things that some folks are not ready to do as of yet and I realize this totally and that is ok.  Now at this point there is alot up in the air along with other things in their place and they know that I try to run a tight ship either way that I go and got asked why I did it this way instead of that way in where I was at.  I explained it to the person and they agreed that everyone has different ways of doing things totally.  So that is how I cover for myself here in some of the ways that I have and nobody argues with it at all.  Since there are times that I go to someplace and fold things up in what I have looked at in the piles then this way it makes it easy for others also and I can remember in what I looked at anyway.  So now at this point in time there are things that I do while I am at work also to save on things in that household also.  It was funny when the almost 3 year old told me that I needed both sides filled with the soap for the dishwasher and I laughed.  I explained it to her that no I did not and it was ok in what I did totally since the dishes will be clean by the time we are done with it all.  They were and she left it alone after that one.  So now at this point in time the girls have been over to my place and the almost 3 year old asked me in what the glass baking pans along with the cast iron baking pan was.  She is not use to having clear things in the kitchen at all at this time.  At that point she also asked in why I was washing somethings also here at my place.  I explained it to her in why and this is how I do things at my place.  Also the water was still mad hot to where i could not put my hands in and I asked her if the water was hot and she dipped a finger into the water and said yes.  So she understood in what I had told here in this is how I do things here and do not worry about it at all.  Also I am still trying to figure out in why some of the school outfits were not bought at the sales at this point in time while I am at it all.  But then again some folks do not really care anyway in what goes down.  I got asked yesterday morning about a pair of pants that the boy thought was to short and I told him he had at least 3 months yet to out grow them totally before I start worrying about it totally.  The poor kid started laughing and said that I was right on that one totally.  The boy who asked me we both had a rough time at first and I did say that I liked him totally and that was the turn around with the both of us.  That and all the kids are my favorites totally and they understand now of why.  This is why when they all ask me something I try to explain it to them as of why and how to their level here.  I do not mind it what so ever at all.  Now with yesterday some do not know that I was eves dropping at all and I did hear part of the conversation of the baby was crying for about 20 minutes yesterday at points in time.  I heard the question of when and that is when the sitter puts down the baby for a nap at the them times also and it was not that long.  So now at this point it is only one neighbor that hollers about it and that is it.  The rest of the neighborhood does not mind what so ever in what I do at all.  All I can say for some is that if they do not like a person that is old school for raising kids then that is on them since I refuse to baby the kids at all.  I make sure that they are in one piece and not bleeding at all in my care or other children.  Anyway at least that I know that in what I am doing at this point in time here there are alot of things that some do not get and others do totally here in the area and if they do not like it oh well on their part.
