You make me feel so naughty! Pl...Guilty pleasure? You make me feel so naughty! Please don't stop. <BR/><BR/>Surround sound - if your husband can DIY it, then go at it. My husband is a computer geek and has very limited capabilities in the physical world. We would have to pay someone to install anything in this house.<BR/><BR/>Gym - you live where it snows, you are entitled to that. It doesn't snow here and I have no excuse for not getting my butt outside for a good walk or bike ride.<BR/><BR/>Hawaii - my husband's employer is a total jerk. There is no way they would ever send him to Hawaii. He did some out of town training a couple months ago and we were expecting them to send him along with a cardboard box to sleep in. He was lucky and got a hotel.<BR/><BR/>Black tennis shoes - that works.<BR/><BR/>$1 flip flops - that's all they need. I have a rule of no socks in summer (May - October.) I hate folding socks!<BR/><BR/>4 for $4 - Yes! It only works if you stick to only the one topping though. Extra toppings add up quickly!<BR/><BR/>Stitches - you got lucky with the chin. We are still Mederma-ing a between-the-eyes stitches scar from April. I still need to pay the $113 bill. It's hard for me to pay because they didn't do a very good job. He still looks like Frankenstein.<BR/><BR/>Used mattress from a Hilton? - If you're ok with it, then I'm ok with it.<BR/><BR/>Hot Wheel - That's awesome! I guess I'm going all out with a $10 budget for my 3 year old.<BR/><BR/>Land is overated. I hope you have a riding mower. I wish I had one for my .15 acres.<BR/><BR/>My idea of plastic surgery is padded bras from Walmart and Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-touch Sunblock with Helioplex. I love that stuff. But yes, we have a lot of that going on around here too. Women all of a sudden coming to church so perky.<BR/><BR/>I don't dye my hair anymore. I decided to be happy with my natural color. But I will start buying some Loreal when the grays start rolling in.<BR/><BR/>Of course I didn't list all my vices like Diet Coke, Scrubs, etc. But line upon line.<BR/><BR/>You closed your blog! Are you willing to invite me? I need to see proof that there are other mothers with lots of kids surviving life! You're my mentor.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18056977094811566757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19557769.post-33512810881184954772008-06-25T02:53:00.000-04:002008-06-25T02:53:00.000-04:00I am still enjoying my Mormon Mom humour regularly...I am still enjoying my Mormon Mom humour regularly, I know I should stop but you are too darn funny in such a stressful world. I admit I consider your blog a "guilty pleasure". Despite appearances, I must say I relate to a few comments. So you have us in a couple of areas; Yes we enjoy the surround sound system my husband wired in our home(along with laying 600 square feet of tile,landscaping, and helping with the roof), I do have a gym membership on hold for the summer(everyone needs a happy pill and the fee is cheaper than medication). I recommend Hawaii or Mexico anytime your husband's work picks up the tab. How do you feel about black tennis shoes to church and one dollar flip flops for summer? We enjoyed our four four dollar Dominoes pizza's tonight and have only paid for three stiches in a chin this year. Does the King size bed remain a good purchase if it came from a Hilton with used mattresses for $200 dollars? Do you think our two year old cares that he got a Hot Wheel for his birthday and yes I mow our lawn every week-it takes 3 1/2 hours. Land is over-rated. In all seriousness you are a model of how a woman could and should live a frugal and happy life as a mother. Here in Eagle, Idaho we spend our time exchanging hair color tips, discussing the bests new lines of clothing and going to lunch on a regular basis...well some of us!!! Did I mention the continual discussion of the top rated plastic surgeon in the area. Doesn't everyone want to restore those sagging A's into the perky DD's they were intended to be? O.K. it is apparently late and yes my husband is out of town so I must except my lonely King size bed until my three youngest join me through-out the night.Amanda Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05858539358993829004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19557769.post-55521906787607369632008-06-24T18:30:00.000-04:002008-06-24T18:30:00.000-04:00You make me wish I could do it over again!

I wish my husband was more frugal, he doesn't understand why it takes me 3 months, along with 3 hours at the store, to decide on which car seat I want to buy. When we are millionaires, then we will blow money on designer shoes and trips to Hawaii!amberjillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06176884396979813383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19557769.post-1144379434929275152008-06-22T00:06:00.000-04:002008-06-22T00:06:00.000-04:00What you describe as living simply, I consider nor...What you describe as living simply, I consider normal.
