We here @ the Hawker household are on a bit of a tight budget
until the next payday....which is unfortunately ....
10
whole
days
away.
(sighhhhhhhhhh)
So we have put ourselves on a bit of
self induced....
House Arrest.
When i made the decision not to spend another dime
until next payday....
I pictured i would be home baking cookies
and sewing and singing to the children as we bond together
in our cozy lil' candle lit burrow of a home.
( Burrow.....that is a very fine name for a basement apartment , don't you think!?)
Any who...
There are no Candles....
No homemade cookies...
.....I haven't the slightest when it comes to homemade cookies....
wouldn't even know where to begin..... Perhaps with some flour and water...
Maybe?????
I have been singing...but i am always singing at home so
pretty much the children just tune me out.
There is one dress hem that needs to be stictched up .....
but,
i. don't. sew.
I did however buy that
Mighty Mend-it glue
as
seen
on
t.v.
I always fall for that junk.
I feel bad for them... like, what if noone is calling.
The guy who invented it will feel stupid...so i should call and order it and
act really excited to have found this amazing product...
You know ...so they can pass that info on to the inventor...
so as to lift his spirits since there are no people ordering his
sewing glue...which is probably just clear Elmers glue....
So maybe i will mend that hem....
but it is not at all how i pictured it...
Our happy lil' home stay...
is more like...
Self induced cabin fever.
did i mention we are only beginning day 2 ?
(sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
desperate times call for desperate measures....
What do you do when you don't want to spend money?

Our family game turned into a pirate soiree....
Even bailey dog feels trapped
Library, gardner village to see the elves (free fudge samples), Gale Center, park, temple square visitor centers, Miller's house. ALL FREE!!!
ReplyDeleteAmen to Anonymous..Gale Museum is pretty cool. I do, however, like the pirate get ups! Have you been to the Church History Museum lately..we have been there 5 times and my kids still love the I am a child of God exhibit..Another free place is the Pioneer museum...it is across the street from the state capitol. It has wayy too many antiques for you to handle!
