Good job for Mr. Prairie, getting those gremlins vanquished. Gremlins are persistent.

The job hunt is never easy for the hunters but it is really hard on parents, too. I never know quite what to say.

I think today will be an indoor day for me, too. I have a whole bunch of tasks that need doin’. The youngest, however, wants to go clothes shopping. Ugh.

Morning Jemian.. I know you feel great to be home & doing the yard & house things again .. is hubby with you?

We have some of these outlet places for paper, fancy party items etc.. sometimes the prices are really good. Most of them have “party” in their name.

If any of your “supporters” has a vendor’s license you might be able to get wholesale price at some of the caterer supply houses. can start by calling caterers & asking or just check on line for supply houses.

I found when as a tean son Jeff (I know guys are different than girls) wanted to shop, it was easier on both of us to just give him ____ dollars for things. If he wanted to blow it all on pair of designer jeans or athletic shoes, so be it.

It was sooooo much easier than nit picking with him on every item

Once he found the good second hand stores, he shopped there & pocketed the difference. By knowing he had to budget the $$ he was more chosey rather than thinking he had a bottomless pit of $ to draw from AND often he realized he really didn’t need anything, but that was the money & that was ALL of the money he would get.
