I have been neither crafty nor cheap this week. In fact, the amount of pajamas I've been wearing probably isn't classy.
This weather has got me in a major funk. Yesterday was raining (for about the 100th day in a row, literally, it was 40 degrees) so Bear and I headed out to replace his cloth diapers. I ended up spending $111. Hubs was livid! He said I had just bought diapers and that this certainly wasn't cost effective anymore.
Then I told him that I sold the other diapers, and a few other things to cover the cost of the new diapers.
Then he was okay with it.
So maybe that was sort of frugal. Instead of just blowing money and saying "charge it" I actually took the time and made the money first. I am $15 short, however I have one more thing to sell, for $15.
Yesterday finally cleared up so I took up our new mower and got to work. The grass was about 8" tall and (probably to the joyful screams of our neighbor) I finally had a chance to mow. Unfortunately it looks terrible because the ground is so saturated that the mower left "ruts" in the lawn and I didn't finish it. I only had an hour and we have about 2.5 acres to mow. I did the side next to our neighbor who takes very good care of his lawn so it would look better.
Our ground is so wet here that when you step on the driveway (it's gravel) water oozes out. The ditches on either side of the road are almost full to the top and some roads are flooded over.
Thank the Lord with joyful praise that there isn't a cloud in the sky today. However, the next nice day we're supposed to have is next Sunday. Not this Sunday, May 8, NEXT Sunday.
It's got me in such a funk. It's such a pain to get out of the house, yet sitting in the house when it's dark and damp gets me depressed. I just want some sunshine and some warmth. Despite the cloudless sky, it's 40 degrees out, and we still have frost.
Where did spring go? Can someone please go find it and bring it back?!
