My baby DD is helping me!!! YeeHaa!! I actually see several feet of my back porch and I have swept the laundry shed!! I’m so excited that I will play the Pointer Sisters song!!

Nope!! It’s been cooked and I really have to organize the fridge and freezer so stuff doesn’t get wasted. We had a sudden drop in temperature and the sugar cane is being harvested so it’s the season to keep mice traps set and HG claimed she saw a mouse in the pantry so DH set a trap. I need to...

On a more positive note, he killed a pig yesterday so decreased expenses after some man videoed his piglets running around the Dollar Store.

I’m rushed today because I have to go for a crown or something very soon and DH is not ready. The struggle continues!! Two days ago I went for commodities and came home with a surprising amount of food. DH had texted me a list of items he wanted me to obtain. I did go to the store and get the...

I know I have to take the initiative and assume responsibility for my family’s grocery shopping because every time I expect DH to just pick up a gallon of milk he comes home with the whole darn store and I can’t organize things after a while. He buys unhealthy food choices too and it’s really...

I know a lot of people abuse the system through SNAP. BF’s little sister has the same amount of kids as me and several years ago she was complaining that she was having to give her sister money towards the last week before her benefits kicked in. She was getting over $900 a month and couldn’t...

I reached out to my daughter in TX and WBF in Tennessee to ask about SNAP recipients in both of their states. Louisiana has something in place for the elderly and families with children. So now I have DD chewing my butt a bit. She doesn’t seem to care if anyone suffers from lack of food. I don’t...

DH was working on a new brooder he said for quails but he said he would use it for chicks until he gets the quail. He was doing that while I was trying to prepare the front porch for trick or treat. I hope he is almost done cuz they really stink.

I don’t know what I am doing trying to reply. I need help!! 😆. Well I just wanted to say that I use a mattress warmer in the winter and with my surgery and back pain it helps. I know… I am ridiculous.

I’m here, alive and mostly well. I picked up HG at work and cuz the baby was asleep we snuck over to the Dollar General and the grocery store. Today is DH’s 60th birthday so I wanted to get a carrot cake mix and some ribeyes. So Dollar General didn’t have carrot cake so we got other options and...

I’m sorry. I’m okay but I feel like I haven’t been able to be worth $0.02. I think the Lord works in mysterious ways though. So my tests continue to show no new growth but I’m getting so tired all the time and I know I am weaker. Well as faith would have it, I received my new Medicare supplement...

The last few children I had were homeschooled so they weren’t influenced by their peers for a long time and when the neighborhood kids came over and I discovered that I needed to get creative to make 2 pieces of chicken stretch out to feed 1 adult and 4 kids, it was a team effort…..okay, you too...

It’s been a little minute. I didn’t used to be like that. I will attempt to answer whatever questions came up in no particular order or just add to the conversations. Well I think the hatch is over. Only 8 hatched and 7 survived. But actually there aren’t a whole lot of unhatched eggs in the...

Pectin does usually bite. When I discovered I could make my own from the pith of my oranges I was surprised. I have attempted it but never to the extent that I felt I had succeeded. Maybe next time 🤷‍♀️. I mean I now have more time than money so it averages out. So I know I didn’t get the...
