One reason I decided to make a blog is because I read a lot of blogs, the people always seem like me. Living pay check to pay check, trying to do a lot with a little, raising animals, kids and trying to have garden. Then SOMETIMES it turns out those people are millionaires and they are just trying to promote themselves as a small time do-it yourselfer. This makes me MAD. I don't like to waste my time reading your story and getting to "know you" just to find out you are a liar and your scissors suck (that's another story for when I have a camera, I feel my facial expressions are necessary to tell that story..........Pioneer woman.....ugh........). So to the point, I am not that kind of person, full disclosure, we make 400 bucks a week. I have lived on less and consider it to be pretty good. Our house is paid for so it goes a lot further than if we were making a payment.
I have been eyeing the big bears (tigers, for that matter) at walmart. It is almost Valentines and I want to get my kids the BIG ones! They are 20 bucks each tho!! So that seems a little silly to spend 40 dollars on stuffed animals but I want too, I want to see them smile. If I spend 40 on stuffed animals I can't get them anything else, Madison is venturing into makeup and I wanted to make her a cute basket with things like that. Today I stopped by the Salvation Army ( I am not happy with their prices in general but today was nice) I got all 4 of these animals for 5 dollars! Whoopie! Lol, I normally pass the stuffed animals up because they are dirty looking but today there was quite a few nice ones. I will wash them anyway of course........but now I have Tom and Madison's Valentine and Easter stuffed animals bought 1/8 of what I was going to pay at Walmart for valentines alone. One is a "Stuffy?" you hide toys in it.....Madison looked at Toms and told me.
