In our house there is a monthly ritual, is it fun, life affirming and filled with joy? Of course not - we're talking Bubba here - he has no clue how those works work.
Oh no our monthly ritual involves the credit card bill, now most months I deal with it and move on... this month I was more annoyed than anything because my charges were 9/10's grocery/ Wal-mart, oh an one pair of shoes for my trip to TX last month.
So that's 60 dollars in "fun" spending the rest was on groceries, household items, you know those exciting purchases like paper towels, things to feed Bubba. These purchases also involve making a list for said items, shopping for said items, bringing them home, putting them away, then taking them out and preparing said food, clean up and storage.... Whew doggie am I living the high life - especially if you ask my darling husband.
Is there another person on the planet who complains about this?? No we are very fortunate that we don't have to watch every penny, and I'm not shopping at Fresh Market or Whole foods every week, I am at Wal-Mart; Aldi's and when needed Shop and Save and that's the pricey store!
Now I will say last month I did go to the super expensive store but we were having company, and they had steaks on sale. So dinner for 3 cost us $135 bucks, but that also included Bubba's expensive seasonal oranges, some pricey apples, an already made cake, steaks (enough for two dinners) and a few extras, still cheaper than going out for a steak dinner right?
We won't mention the work done by yours truly for said dinner, cooking clean up etc... remember I am living the high life!
Today I am enjoying the high life working from home, I needed a break, and I can take it, and plus side I get to be home with the Pup. Another one who lives a rough life.
She's been trying to break out of her crate and her face is paying the price, she's got scratches and boo-boo's all over her face. The other reason I think I decided to stay home today as well.
All right I have to do something constructive with my day for work instead of just a load of laundry.
Which very much may turn out to be the most productive thing I do today... as long I don't put anything on the credit card we're all good with Bubba.
