This is my 2nd Saturday not babysitting. I think I am on the mend. DH gave me a list of chores we need to catch up on but he presented it as things he needs to catch up on so I guess I will drink another cup of coffee and dress for success. He bought a sack of oysters and spoke of extra roosters...

I used to have energy for negativity but I just was too immature to know better or I was at a dark place in my life and didn’t understand that I was actually feeding the darkness. I remember the morning I had an epiphany. I don’t understand what the cardinal in the bird feeder outside the window...

This morning Flylady said it’s time to get the front porch cleaned and swept. I can guarantee you that the recliner DH put on the front porch is uglier and more broken than any of y’all’s front porch chairs and probably more dangerous too. I will let him now that my chore for today is to clean...

I have some duck meat mixed with turnips in the fridge that I should probably cut in half… freeze half and add roux and water to make a small fricassee with baby Limas. I mean, as is, it’s not going to be all eaten and who wants to waste wild duck unnecessarily?

Good morning!! I am up alone first… just the way I like it. Coffee is finally brewing. Ordinarily I start brewing and I wash dishes as it brews. I broke my normal protocol and began picking up clean stuff and I decided to give myself several gifts today. Being quietly selfish. I have been under...

Ugh!! Bronchitis!!! I visited my PCP yesterday. I thought my cold virus was just a sinus infection but he said I have crackles in my lungs. Today it’s wet outside. It was raining when I woke up. DS is already asking if I can show up tomorrow to watch his kids a few hours. I told him I would let...

Sick again with a cold virus in spite of all the precautions I took to make sure the baby didn’t catch anything during Mardi Gras. The problem is it looks like I just stay sick. I had not been taking any pain medication but I know it will suppress my cough so I indulged a bit and popped a...

I sometimes address this on social media as a way to help others be inspired to follow examples and if someone is onto something I haven’t caught onto yet. Line dry clothes, use my Wonder Bag for cooking. Try to keep a filter pitcher handy to save on bottled water for some family members. Use a...

I have so seldom used Flylady that I have discontinued my subscription. It expires in October but I will have access until then. I ordered a work schedule and I am going to try to convince HG and DD to follow it with me.

Well a few months ago DH bought a new buck and put him in with the two does. He thinks they are both expecting. One will be her first time and the other will only be her first with us. I’m told she didn’t do well last time.

As expected, I am probably the warmest. It’s 60F in Cut Off right now. I slept and slept until I had to take morning meds in the afternoon. Have a great day my peeps!! 🐥

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...
