Merry Christmas everyone!! I woke up really late but I did see all my children and grandchildren (except my oldest grandson who was sick) last night. So y’all know my youngest DD has been goofing off since she was taken off of grill and is too shy for car hopping and terrified of the cash...

I’m going mice crazy. Yesterday was a light day for trapping. We only got 3, but I made DD start throwing poison chunks around the attic, behind the fridge and in old wall outlet holes that for some reason I don’t understand are there. I don’t even care if I start smelling their little corpses...

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...

Well I can just power up the generator myself but how much stored gas do I have? In all honesty it’s going on by nightfall regardless and DH has a lot of vehicle batteries fully charged that can be hooked to an inverter to run the freezer and fridge when the generator is off. If I want to, I can...

Nature called so I got up and convinced myself to get busy. I wanted to get more done before anyone was up but DH was maybe only 40 minutes behind me. I hope I’m not sorry but I just ordered some 6X300 foot black fabric weed barrier and 100 stainless steel 6 inch staples to hold it down. It was...

9. A. You gotta do what you gotta do 🤷‍♀️ 10. A. and B. Depends on the time.
