We have ...Nope, not the last people to buy an HDTV. We have a 13 year old 175 pound Sony 27 incher which works just fine in my opinion. No HDTV until it breaks. I've cut my housecleaner down to 1x month (which I can't really afford either), but it makes me happy and I HATE scrubbing. In fact, this morning, I attempted to bake a cheesecake. The filling spilled when I put it in the oven and I spent, I kid you not, an hour scouring the oven of the remnants so there would be no fire or smoke that would make the alarm go off and freak out Andrew. New clothes? What are those (at least for the adult here)? Food? Whatever's on sale. Lessons for the kids. None. The girls want to ride horses but that nearly bankrupted me when we tried it (and I realized their dad was going to contribute $0). I am enjoying the inter-library loan program and praying my laptop and all other electronic devices stay working. Did I mention the DOR just audited me, the single mom who makes like less money than the federal poverty guidelines? Always fun around here, too.justamomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08793820386900097253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690356122521688837.post-19565592699236074782012-03-01T11:00:45.735-05:002012-03-01T11:00:45.735-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.justamomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08793820386900097253noreply@blogger.com
