One Hundred Dollars a Month

I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

Mavis Takes the Day Off

After a jam packed, activity filled day on Friday, I finally fell into bed around midnight.  I woke up at 3 am on Saturday morning to start a boatload of crock pots full of soup for one of the kids sporting events, made some tea, let out the chickens, showered, started a load of laundry, typed a few posts for the blog, made the bed, packed up the car and left the house about 8 am.

By the time I walked in the door around 4 pm I was exhausted. So I took a one hour nap.

Then I got up, helped The Girl get ready for an event, started what would be 6 loads of laundry, hauled in a bunch of dirty crock pots from the car {which Monkey Boy cleaned for me}, cleaned the bathrooms, vacuumed half of the house, picked up the family room, and swept the kitchen.

I then logged on to my computer, found 72 new emails and almost passed out.  I immediately closed the laptop, told the Handsome Husband I was going to bed, and finally crawled under the covers around 11pm.

To put it mildly, I’m exhausted.

So if you’ve sent me an email, left a comment with a question, or are just wondering why the heck I’m not around today, it’s because I’m taking the day off.

But don’t worry.  I’ll be back bright and early Monday morning.

Peace Out Girl Scouts,  I’m going back to bed.

♥ Mavis
