TIME TO GET READY-ok

I’m going to take my grandson out this afternoon. Not sure what I will do with him. Maybe just take him to TOYS R US and then MacDonalds for an ice cream and to play in the playland. Have you heard that TOYS R US is going bankrupt?

I am thinking of taking him on a bus ride……….

I just sorted through my children’s old books. I took out the ones that I think my grandson wil appreciate. I have so many toys and books. They fill almost my whole guest room. Do you think my kids had too many toys?

As usual it is the end of the month and I am flat broke so whatever I do with my grandson will have to be CHEAP!!! I am hoping my daughter will wake up so I can borrow money. After all, before she left for England I spent about 200 on her or more. She is suppose to pay for her own clothes.  I don’t know why I do the same thing every month. I spend like there is no tomorrow and at the end of the month I struggle so much. It is crazy but I just don’t learn. WHY??? Why do I have to go to the dollar store and buy ten of something?? What void am I trying to fill? It isn’t working by the way!

So she just left for work. I borrowed her debit card. Now here’s hoping she has some money since she doesn’t know her balance.

I always thought that if you really cared about losing weight etc. that you could do it easily. I guess that means I don’t want to control my spending. It’s really tooooooo bad as I have such a hard time by the end of the month.

So it’s off to the shower and then the half hour ride to get my grandson. Why dont they live closer???? Because it’s cheaper to buy a house in that area.

Can I ask why you had to spend $200 on your daughter to buy her clothes? My daughter is 17 and she already buys her own clothes.If she doesn’t have the money, she doesn’t buy clothes. It is OK if you have enough money but if you are struggling then it can be a problem.Yes overbuying is an addiction just like food or smoking.I am guitly too, I have too many books. I love to buy them but…

never get a chance to read them so I am the same way. I am sure I feel empty inside too that is why I do it. I would rather have affection from my husband but that is not happening anymore. So I buy stuff to make me feel better but it is only temporary.

maybe a park, river walk lake walk or a beach ( whatever is close to you)…these are free and enjoyable ways to entertain a youngster….gathering pretty stones, shells or flowers. An ice-cream will help too…LOL have a nice day,
