All I have to pay out of this check is $150 rent to my mother, sooo I had extra Wal-Mart Money. anddddd, had is the correct word. My check went down about 50-60 dollars. After I spent my check, most of it...I cashed hubbys check from yesterday. 96 dollars. I have 35 left and hubby went to work with 120 dollars. I have to pay my mom $150 this afernoon but I count that spent. I have to go back to work tomorrow..it will be a long day. I hate the day back after two off, especially after payday..its sucky.

Gloves only help if you wear them. Scarfs and hats too. It was warm yesterday and freezing today.

do you look out for yourself or are you a team player? Am I suppos to care that someone may call in nd my boss may have to work extra? Where do you draw the line between caring for others and just wanting to take care of yourself?? I tell my daughter that it dosen't matter what her classmates do or say she needs to take care of herself and not be bothered by what they do....they did it why can't I?? My boss..manager..wants me to feel sorry that she has to work cause others call in, she wants me to sympathise that she is on the job for 12 hours straight. Hey she is on sallery and makes 40,000 a year (so the rummor goes) she is not poor...she has a housekeeper etc...I have enough of a hard time taking care of myself, why should I care what she has to do? She may be going on a trip starting Wednesday. I want to have money and make it and all that stuff, but I would not take her job for nothing..back in October she worked 19 or so days straight before she could get one off. My response is with that kind of paycheck comes certain stuff and basicly crap!! It seems when she gets screwed (for lack of better words) she seems to complain to me, but I tend to just give vague responses and stay neutral. If I am going to be 5 minutes late or more I call...I guess she just expects everyone to be that nice.

I may be going part time with my job...I can't stop working alltogether..Hubby makes about 80% of he monthly money needed. I asked for M-T-W off guranteed week to week. and my rotation of Sat. off. They are suppost to be inerviewing a guy today. I hope he is hired!!!!!!!!!!!

my house isa dump from letting it go this weekend, guess I know what I am doing today...I actually like housework.

later...Buffy

my computer is not fixed yet. I am on my husbands laptop..it used to be mine but when it died two yrs ago..my mom gave me her pc. My mom got a laptop. The pc I have has windows 98 on it. Personally I do not care what operating system is on the computer...I blog, surf the web and do messanger. Hubby fixed the little laptop (duh) for himself..since he has been working this computer job, he has brought home lots of spare parts and stuff. Like I need more computer junk in my house. Really its ok, without his junk I would not be blogging today. I guess when ya live with someone ya take the good as well as the bad, or the not so desireable...I love my husband,,but he can be a bit of a packrat.

My daughter wants to get her ears pierced. she has to MEGA EARN IT!! So far its leaning twords no. She gets pissy and rude in the mornings. She behaves real good at school and at her grandmamas but at home it is so different.

I have told streamers many times tht I have five cats...well its never a dull day with five cats..two of my males are ummm well..comming of age??? ok getting horney. One may be a daddy and another has practiced safe sex..on a blanket. Ifthats not bad enough, another one is a pyro..fire freak, I lit a candle and he likes to swat the flame out. She also likes to smell, or I suppose inhale when my husband smokes. she is a daddys cat 100000000%

My husband has two types of weekends, and ya can tell which one he does by how dirty the house is, if its clean he was a bummm and did next to nothing. BUT, if its dirty, has parts and pieces of junk around ya know he did some stuff, like fixed a computer or "tinkered with stuff"

I like the duties of my job, and for the most part like all my fellow employees...but all the duties I am asked to do in one day..others have noticed, and or complained too. I am not so much unhappy as frustrated. Every time I talk to my boss nothing gets accomplished. I can wash dishes, no prob. It never bothered me, but all the extra cleaning...and then after I do it, its not good enough..I don't think the floor has EVER been done to her satisfaction. She is super ultra pickey. Aslong as she and her son in law get he easy stuff...... enough complaining for now, I could go on for days...........

Buffy

hello, my computer died, its fixable tho. Then my internet went out..The modem died. The wire from the house to the pole had water in it. but I am back now!!!!!!!!!!

my job sucks!!! My boss is giving out daily cleaming jobs. They take away from our daily stuff..it just sucks. Also I am the last one to get a Saturday off. The girl who has barley been there a month gets a Sat. off before me...My one year there is March 14th. I am just so unhappy.

We are a two tv family now. Oh its no big deal...I have a 13 inch tv I have had forever, my hubby plugged it up to the cable in our bedroom, the only downsideis that it has only 2-13,(channels).

money is fine...all bills are paid...no major problems...

give mea couple of days to do more updates, and read other blogs.

I'm backkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Buffy

I do not usually talk about family members outside my home...and I usually do not get personal, well today I am but please forgive me if I omit certain things or beat around the bush.

first off, I am not perfect...I am no Bill Gates..No savings account, no stocks..just average. If we play our cards right Hubby and I may have 50 dollars a month after all bills and gas are done. Its not great but it is a step up from years past.

I know that others have to make their own decisions/mistakes and I know its none of my business how others handle money. BUTTTTT my brother in law and his wife scare me. They went almost a month (or was it two??)and now they are finally making money...Do they save any?? Do they pay bills?? nope from what I know they went bowling, played mineature golf, and are now hosting a birthday party at a pizza place for their child. Yes the first check or two can be overwhelming and it can be exciting to have money in your pocket..I have been there. But, I wish they would slow down. She is the only income comming in..She makes minimum wage or close to it and the way they spend money scares me. I know what some are thinking, the only person I can control is myself.

I see lots of people live for the moment instead of the future. Ok practice what you preach wheres your savings account???? For now we save 80% of our change in a jar and will some day convert it to a savings account. We had over $60 dollars saved at one time and it went to a bill, sure glad we had it...now we are starting back again.

My best friend lives in the same apt. complex as my brother in law, and she has yet to get her rent currently up to date..paid in full, and she joined netflex..ok $10 a month is not bad..she is on social security disability and he has a minimum wage job. So I guess they are doing better.......butttttt...no savings

when brother (for short) was about to laase his job I said what are you going to do, he said we will figure it out when the time comes..oh no I always have a backup plan..The friend..I have faith the lord will provide...

They are both on food stamps so I guess that helps..I just try to look to the future and plan ahead..sure wish they did.
