Hubby was to tired to go tonight.Which is good.Because I get to play with my blog thingy! I also get to make sandwiches for tommrow & we didnt eat out so hurray!Im making brownies to wrap up too.My kids look innocent enough but they are bottomless pits.
Im leaving cooked hamburgers,hotdogs&
tuna fish,& barbecue for my big boy.
We will be gone 3 days.
I hope he doesnt starve till I get back.If he has to go to McD's I hope he
will use the 1.00 menu.
Going back to the bottomless pits did you know a principal once told me thats one of the reasons she was in favor of year around schooling is some kids dont get a decent meal in the summer?She said she would see them come back to school
skin & bones.The public schools already offer breakfast, lunch & snack.Some schools have after school care so they probably offer an afternoon snack too.
The voice teacher told me today that both my girls will have solo's for the JULY 4 performance at the park.
Which is one reason I had my girls join this dance place because they really do let there kids perform.Theres no work all year have one recital stuff.
Im sure all of you know this snack but its one of my favorites for the kids
I got it from Tracy Mcbrides newsletter
Shes like the Martha Stewart of thrift.
Take a cheap can of biscuits use the cap of a 2-liter to cut out middle & deep fry
in a pan or whatever you have.Top with a glaze of milk & confection sugar (thats our favorite) of course you can use sprinkles ,chocolate etc..

This woman was in her late forties her knick name was tramp.
She dressed like she had no good clothes.
We became friends when she visited
the thrift store I worked at.She taught me how to spot carnival glass & anything
else valuable.She made her living at flea markets.She drove an old van.She let me come to her house one time it was cluttered with stacks of magazines on antiques.the house was in a nice neighborhood& she told me it was paid for. She had no kids or husband , just a sister & niece.One of her best friends was a woman who owned a few grocery stores down south. Her friend was rich,if I said the store you would recognise it.She instructed her stores to leave bad produce & bad diary in abox beside the dumpster so her friend could go by & get it.Both of the ladies have since passed but I was grateful for the knowledge I was given.

Hi everyone wanted to say thanks for the birthday wishes.It warmed my heart.
Today was myday to be on the road. the kids have dance.
When we moved here I signed them up for dance. We never really felt like we could aford it before.
Not long after we joined the owner sent out an email looking for investors.
To make along story short we ended up investing 1500.00.This gives my kids life long lessons.It includes most of there dues for competition & most costumes.
So on tuesdays my kids take lessons from 11:00am starting with private voice.
they get a break at 1:30
then at 2:30 dance starts it goes until 4:30 then at 5:30 they have hiphop.
An today my son started soccer.
Soccer camp was free of charge,but I did have to buy cleats,ball, & shin guard
total 22.00
Im packing now my husband wants to go out of town, back home for a few days.
We have a small cabin we go to. He is able to take off because he works so many weekends.He will probably want to stop & eat out. Nothing I can do about that but we will grill the rest of the time we are there.
The place were our cabin is has a caretaker (other cabins all around)
An he always puts up for me the water toys that are unclaimed.So I never have to buy those expensive floats.
Why does he save them for me? Because he likes me? Nope its because im the only one whos ever asked.We are such a disposable society.Makes me sick.
Im hoping to have a chance to go to walgreens they have there revlon implements 40% off & there are 2.00 coupon out there.There may even be one in there easy saver book.so many items will be free.great for a beauty basket.
the nail files are .89 and the clippers are 1.29 ( I Think)I also would like to go to consignment stores there are none were we are now.Believe it or NOT.
Im going to work on my grocery list & menu for next week.Ive got to plan better.
Anybody have any great cheap recipes that there family eats pretty often?
I really wanted tested recipes.
One of my favorite snacks for the kids is Payday cookies, one cup sugar, 1/2 cup peanutbutter and one egg.
Hey its simple.
Simple is good

I have been reading evryones blog for a few weeks now and I have to admit I found the idea of a personal blog fascinating.At this point Im not sure why but maybe with this blog I will find out.I chose tonight to start because Im feeling alittle down.Today was my birthday & nobody remebered. Ok Im not trying to have a pity party or anything.
My hubby has all his family.My mother & father are passed & I guess I feel like he should put more effort into this kind of thing.Oh Im not missing any presents to be honest Ive never really believed in that much.It seems you can always find things to admire about every race,religion & nationality.For instance Thats one thing I admire about a certain
religion(dare I say the name?) they dont recognize holidays etc..An most holidays are just an attempt to sell stuff.
I found
a kindred spirit today although I have yet to meet her.I was turning in to my neighborhood & there is a hotel.The corner room has a little fence around it.
The yard is teeny tiny.It was starting to rain & I saw a women run out and get her clothes hanging on the fence , thats when I realized the weeds in her yard was a garden.Go Girl!
I recently moved to a different state & my grocery bill has almost tripled & I cant find the leak.Its driving me insane.
I was unable to bring my pantry with me so we widdled it down to nothing before we moved.
I have always been frugal or cheap.
My dad was born in 1919 so my dad & mom saw some hard times & grew up really poor.I had a wonderful child hood they taught me great things. One of those things is that money will not make you
happy.An that is a very true statement.
