Well, there is still no luck on the job front, but I am not giving up. My sister has an application in at Wal*Mart, and I still have those two in over town, and the online ones.
I will post again for childcare as well. I will leave open hours for evening shifts as well as [...]
Recycling Pants

I wear stretch pants. They are not the most economical, but they are the most comfortable. I have to buy new pants every 5-6 months, because they wear out so fast (which is why they are not really economical). I refuse to wear jeans until I lose some weight. Stretch pants are more comfortable anyway.
I [...]

I have had this leak from my tub faucet since we moved in. That was more than a few years ago. I have a couple of buckets that I put (one at a time, of course), under the faucet to collect the water. I get two bucket fulls a day, sometimes three. What do I [...]

Well, there has been no luck on the job hunt. However, I have gotten a few things done around. I am caught up on laundry, and have made all of my cleaning supplies again. I am very much enjoying the process, and the fact that I am not using all of the chemicals that are [...]
New Recipe Posted to Frugal Recipes

I just love my garden. The lettuce, tomatoes and peas are doing so well that we were able to use them to round out our dinner last night. The recipe has been posted to the Frugal Recipes blog and is called Yesterdays’ Garden Salad.
Enjoy!

While at Wal*Mart with a friend yesterday, I noticed that they were selling 1 subject notebooks for 5 cents each. I picked up $1.00 worth. I also picked up 4 packets of loose-leaf paper for 50 cents each. These are very much needed for our homeschool year. I also picked up a box of crayons [...]

Okay, so…honesty is a virtue. Right? So, to blog about something like one’s income is not easy, but it is honest and to the point. It is hard to come on here and say that things are not going well, but they are not. What I am getting at?
I lost my job. Well, not completely. [...]
