Shaking my head

Well I am shaking my head at this point in time around here.  With yesterday it took about 13 hours to get home and that is with the time change also.  It feels good to be home home totally around here to say the least.  Since I have been home around here I have not done much at all here and will do so today only because I have piles of laundry to get done.  It is one of the force of habits that I do around here after travel to Illinois here to get the pollens out is to wash them.  So now at this point between the laundry and afew other things here I will be busy all day.  Either way it will be a good thing around here and have the radio going all day around here to help out with the power bill.  Since my gas bill read all zeros around here when I opened it up it helped out totally.  This is what the one aunt did not get with me at all when I was down in Illinois at all is that I am the cheap one out of the bunch here and know what I am doing to keep the bills low along with other things also for the household.  With that part said around here as of now I was telling my one cousin in how to use the coupons totally for food and other things for the household and what I do for it all.  The girl said she was lazy and would never do it that way for her place.  All I can say is you do in what you have learned while you are growing up.  If mom is a spend thrift the chances are the kids will be also when they grow up.  So now at this point since I had alittle of both growing up I went over to the cheap side for most things and it will only get worse around here before it all gets better.  At this point in time here I do use the coupons and several other ways to save money around here for the household.  Just like when I turn things totally off here during the day and only have the radio going.  It works around here for me and keeps the power bill low while I am at it.  The funny thing of all of it with me at this point is that I have noticed that when I went back to Illinois is that I am the cheap one out of the bunch without trying at all for my place.  Just like when I got alot of the groceries while I was there for the 2 weeks.  I paid a fraction of what it would cost here in NY State.  This is what some did not get about me at all in the now world while I was down.  Also the bottles when I brought them back up to NY State yesterday here.  Since I did not have to pay the nickel for them and will get the nickel back when I turn them in here this weekend it made since to me totally and to my grandmother also.  So now at this point in time since I do have alot of things figured out around here for my own household here in where to cut down or just totally out around here it works out for the best.  Also here I will say that 2 of my aunts and my father gets in why I am cutting back around here in the household totally.  Since the 4 of us have been totally broke at times and wandered what we could do about it at times also to put food in the household and pay the bills.  So now that most of us have cut down on alot of things except the one aunt here along with her own kids and they wander why the rest of us do not just spend money like they do.  It is the pits that some do not get that part at all now with what is going on with some being broke all of the time and needs to be bailed out 99% of the time.  Now at this point in time I have alot of things that I will be doing for my household and will say if they work or not around here within acouple of months also.  Alot of it is around here is cutting down that much more here and seeing where it takes me also for the place.  With that being said here I also have alot of the back stock to get thru around here in the household also before I get that much cheaper around here.  The best part is that I do not need that much at all for the household since I have went shopping down in Illinois here and brought alot of the food back up.  Or should I say the dry bulk of the food.  Now at this point in time I will not see prices like that unless I slip into where I was at in Illinois and get back out also and that is if I go back period now after this last go around.  As I say there is always the State of PA to shop in once a month here and I will more than be willing to save money to get down there totally here to do alot of the grocery shopping at this point in time to save the money that way and to stretch out everything also.  At least I am thinking around here still and will continue to do so to get things that much cheaper.  That is part of the reason of why the one aunt was so mad at me since I am cheap and there are many other reasons of things that I was doing also in why she was madder than snot.  With all of it yes I will get to PA to see my other aunt that is also a favorite with me for years at this point.  Since my aunt down there also does the main bulk of the shopping once a month also while she is at it all.  So yes I do the same thing around here in my place.  With the main bulk getting bought here at the first 2 weeks of the month here then pick up little things like bread and milk the rest of the time also here.  So now at this time I better get started on things so they get done.
