Time is Tight

Since relocating to middle america from the coast I've noticed that the money we're dishing out seems to have INCREASED rather then DECREASED. Altho my hubby increased his salary 1500 times 10, that may as well be monopoly money because thus far it hasn't been helping much. Not to mention the fact that we had less relocation money than when we moved from Cali. And I know yall know it ain't cheap to move from one house to another within the same city, let alone moving from one state to another.

The situation is (as Ms. Barbara like to say) our dayum groceries ain't even cheaper. Well maybe a little bit but dayum I was looking to cut that sh*t in half. *lookin into camera at my own self* (knowing you can only do that by bulk shopping at costco, bj's, sam's club, schnuks, walmart, etc. *sigh*) Do they sell organic products? And please don't let me start again on the house we live in. It's like what we're paying and having to spend to make it livable is what folks pay when they BUY a home, not rent one.

And somebody PLEASE tell me why the dayum A.TT phone bill is $401.00??? And no it ain't cuz I been calling Cali or Mexico and talking for 500 minutes. Our monthly plan is $50.00 a month. We were charged $267 for the dayum installation cuz they had to redo what the property owners tore down, i.e. the outside phone lines that are owned by the phone company! Why would you tear those down, Pookie? Huh? *shakin head* I'm *this close* to being ready to move, if this dayum house didn't grow on my azz.

I don't know I suppose we're just feeling the crunch of having to pay for alot of sh*t upfront to get out here. And then of course it costs money to settle in. And am I gonna get the $220 back we had to pay for a cleaning service to come and "move-in" clean the first floor? Yes, only the first floor was done cuz I didn't even want to know the price for cleaning all 3 floors for deep cleaning. A cleaning the property owners AGREED to have cleaned before we moved in. According to them, they did clean. LOL. I just laughed deep and long cuz that was some funny sh*t. LOL. I had to laugh again. *chuckle*

Well let me do the old "let me thankful because I could be homeless and eating out of garbage cans and at least we all healthy and have money coming in" song. I just get pissed when it seems like sh*t keeps popping up. When I know at least half of the expenses we're incurring are NOT ours and yet we the ones who keep pay for them. Dayum we some sucka's. We buying bridges over here if anybody got one to sell. LOL.

I'm done, thanks for reading.
