May 2016 Frugal Chatter - ALL WELCOME

[sweet sparrow]

I mentioned that there was a shock to the budget, and future budget for years to come. We're expecting our second. I'm really wishy-washy on decisions, and at this moment, I'm wondering if I should be more prepared. Budgeting for another RESP and a second car, and all the expenses that come with it are a concern, plus job concerns, etc.

In another train of thought, I don't think I'm ready to do this again. I'm not ready to call four hours of sleep a good night's rest, or not really folding any laundry but just moving around baskets of clean and dirty laundry. I'm not ready for late night feedings, or another labour. I feel horrible, nauseous, like eating, but not eating, hungry, then binge eating and nauseous. I feel like my lower half is exhausted and in pain, even though I've gained less than two pounds. The weight (or something) is giving me problems sleeping at night and my hip bone is sore in the morning.

I am so not ready for this in all the ways possible. I'm sure everything will be alright five years from now. I hope so anyways. I really don't want to move....

Hoping everyone had a happy mother's day! LO sang her song in front of an audience on Sunday. I managed to remember to charge the camera battery but ran out of space on the card. The first and second times, I was helping the kids on and off the stage and couldn't film anything. DH sits in the back row, way to far to capture anything other than small dots. Well, maybe by the time she's three I'll get with the program. But probably not...



@Ciel: We're in Ontario. We thought being near the GTA would bring more opportunities, but it's just near so many universities and colleges who are pumping out graduates willing to work for less money, longer hours, and willing to relocate.

@saundyl: I'm sorry to hear about the ex, but the new washer/dryer system looks great! Our laundry room barely fits ours as well, but it fits, and saves us the hassle of leaving the house. When you have kids, that is so nice. The freedom of doing laundry at 4 AM if you want to is really nice, even if it's inconvenient. Is it programmable? My friend sets hers to run at 7:30 AM.

Congratulations on your new nephew!

@coupon girl: Congratulations on a new grandson!

@jasperandchar: Why is your son painting lines in a parking lot? I don't think that is an art class or an appropriate school activity.

I have to figure out if it is programmable or not. Im so loving the dryer because its only taking an hour to dry not a cycle of 110 min and then a cycle of 40to 60 min. Hoping to see a drop in our power consumption!

Since DS had 2 sports tonight and he has picked the one in town I will be home sooner now so I can get some house stuff done and put some laundry on at 7 tonight . Should get to bed early tonight because I feel wiped and don't want it to catch up with me.

Did not feel like cooking tonight so I ordered Chinese.Grand-mother funerals are saturday.

[Frugalbigmama]

I cheated and put my bed cover in the wash this morning. I will go home at lunch and hang it out to dry. Will put the sheets in tonight at 7. Then I can make my bed Time is money too so I don't feel guilty and at least I am using the sunshine to dry it and not the dryer.
DS has soccer tonight so we are on the go. Will take a ham out of freezer at lunch and serve him eggs/ham and toast for a quick dinner. Then will use the ham up for toasted westerns on the weekend .

Hope everyone has a great day!
