Adulting is hard. One of my daughters tells me this often. I am in a pickle. My accountant told me last year not to go back to work. Chuck draws early retirement. I get a small pension. Now with Chuck being ill he cannot be left alone. I can pay my bills but any extra expenses put things out of wack.
One of our nine children and his girlfriend live with us. They pay nothing. I am so over this situation. I will have to evict them to get them out and I don’t know if evictions are happening right now.
I have three dogs. One is my mother’s, one got dropped of here, and one decided to live here. These dogs like to wander off our property. The neighbors have complained. I spent over $300 on collars and a electronic barrier for them. One dog lost his collar and went to visit the neighbor. Our son went over to try to retrieve him.
The girlfriend told me this in our morning conversation. She also told me of plans for going to a ballgame and also of making some other purchases. Her tone was one of chastising me for not getting a collar for the dog. That was all I could take. I told her if I wasn’t paying for her mans cell phone bill I might be able to purchase a collar for the dog.
Of course she tattled told my son that I hurt her feelings and I got a curt phone text. I don’t have time for their stuff. The girl is 8 months pregnant and I don’t have the heart to kick them out yet. I hate being such a softy.
Well, I gotta go. Another son just called asking for money to replace a rim in his tire. will it ever end? Gotta get up early. A daughter is bringing over my grandson for me to watch.
Hello, my name is Dinky. This is a name given to me in my first marriage. It is my grandma name. A few other selected individuals address me as such. I am a onetime divorced, one-time widowed single woman trying to discover the real me. I will take you on my journey. Read if you are interested.
I feel that I am a hard knock educated person. I have been a working mother, a stay-at-home wife, a Christian, a caretaker, and a retired woman. I am always seeking wisdom on how to improve as a person and hopefully I can share as I learn more.
I have many interests. I enjoy cooking because I enjoy eating. I am not a great cook but am eager to try new recipes. I will share these with you. I have a degree in business management and a certification in food science. I have worked man years in the food manufacturing industry.
I also have a small farm. I have some cows, a donkey, some wild horses a bull and two dogs. I would like to explore more homesteading techniques and become self-sustained. Maybe we can learn together. I encourage your input and ideas.
I have spent many years learning how to make quilts. This is another hobby I would like to get back into. I am always up to learn new crafts and explore new projects.
I am really big on goal setting and finding ways to make my life simpler. I will take you through some of my ideas on that progress.
Lastly, but biggest on my list is that I am a Christian in continual growth mode. I will never be all that I should, and I will never judge people in regard to their own journey. I am always open for discussion on this topic.
If you find my talks interesting, feel free to follow me. If I say or write anything offensive feel free to call me out. I am up for improvement and self-growth.
Welcome to learning about me and helping me in my self-discovery.
