Posted on May 01 2016
I have many roles in our house. Many. My husband works really hard with lots of long hours and he helps out a lot, but it is primarily my job to run the house.
I'm really bad at it.
I always have piles of washing. Huge, tangled, overflowing baskets of clean washing. I wash constantly and fold a lot. But I'm a little lazy when it comes to putting it away. I have good intentions. I fold it all up and sort it into each persons little pile. Then I get a little distracted. I forget that I need to watch a little bit of Ellen, or that I'm halfway through an episode of Shameless. I jump on Facebook for "5 minutes" and then find myself, 2 hours later, deep in the comments section of a post from someone I don't even know. So come bed time, the piles are relegated from my bed to the floor at the end of my bed, all ready to be refolded and sorted the next day.
The job I really struggle with is food management. I can never seem to get my shit together when it comes to the weekly shopping. I'm a regular at our local woollies, as in I'm there EVERY DAY. Sometimes TWICE a day. 'Write lists!' I hear you cry! 'Meal plan woman!' yeah yeah I know, but I just can't do it.
I did manage to meal plan once. I shopped online. Click and collect. Bragged to Sharon at woollies that I wouldn't be in all week as I was organised. I could see the doubt in her eyes and the smirk on her lips. I could almost hear the 'you'll be in tomorrow' that she was wordlessly communicating. I was determined not to, if we ran out of food, then they would have to eat dust. And god knows we have dust in abundance. My problem with meal planning, and I know I'm not alone here (Kylie I'm looking at you) is that when you meal plan, the kids are aware of what they are not going to eat each day. They start whinging earlier than necessary, and I cannot stand it.
So I always find myself cooking the same old crap, week in, week out. Normally with mince. It's cheap. It's versatile, and it's the least complained about meat. That's important. I actually love cooking, everything about it - bar the cleaning up - but that's a blog post for another day. I enjoy cooking from scratch, no packet mixes here, but when the fruit of your loins, glances down at her plate and declares 'this looks like diarrhoea' it kills my buzz. They aren't particularly fussy kids, they eat pretty well, but if I try and get creative or add something different to their meal, I am met with suspicion. You would think I had served them offal or the family dog.
It's also hard to plan a week of meals when they do the old 'change your mind trick'. You know the one when you make something, they love it, rave about it, say 'can we have this EVERY night'. You beam with pride like the mum from The Castle, and mentally add the dish to your repertoire, only to serve it up the next week and be met with sighs and crinkled noses.
So please friends. I'm begging. Help a sister out. Give me your best tips for managing your food/budget/family reactions. Tell me how to stop spending 100s of unavoidable dollars on crap I don't need. Speak to me like a novice, a newbie. I need it.

P.S - something incredible happened in our community today. A little boy was having a birthday party. His poor mum shared on a page that none of his friends were going to come. Another caring mum decided to share the story to one of our community pages. This started the most amazing movement which led to people, total strangers, but bonded by empathy to get down to that party, to help that gorgeous little boy celebrate. Sometimes small towns like ours get a bad rap. There can be bickering and fighting, bad mouthing and bitching - but today there was love, compassion, and generosity. It is heart warming and faith restoring.

I saw testimonies online on how Dr Uwaifo helped a lot of people in winning Powerball. A huge amount, so I decided to contact him for winning lottery numbers, Dr Uwaifo did the spell and he gave me the winning lottery numbers. But believe me when the draws were out I was among the winners. I won $730 Millions Dollars Powerball. I have confirmed Dr Uwaifo is a real and guaranteed powerful spell caster. Now I am a living testimony of his good work, a gifted man with great powers, it is my secret but I decided to make the world know about his work. It might be a help to others who are interested. My comment might look funny to you but it is the truth, believe it and give Dr Uwaifo a try, and I promise you that it will not be funny when you win and share a testimony too.

I am so happy to share this fantastic testimony of mine. My life has changed round completely in 48hours. I can see myself in the mirror and smile. I have confidence in myself and my abilities for the first time in ages. I have my boyfriend back in my life with the help of Dr Osofo. He said sorry 24 hours after the spell was created. He said he realised that he never really wanted to break up and he could not handle emotional baggage I was carrying around all the time. He said that he thought he was the negative influence on my life and thought it best to leave. He said it was hard that I kept talking about the past all the time. We have both forgiven each other. I have money in my pocket that is my own at last. (My compensation cheque came through. I was told it was months away. I am living proof of what Dr Osofo can do. I thank you so much Dr Osofo for the wonderful thing you did in my relationship. I am so happy now. With your help we were both able to see and speak the truth to each other. I never thought a spell could help a couple before. I am very pleased to contact you and initiate all this to happen. Anyone who has a relationship problem can contact Dr Osofo via email.

A Life-Changing Experience, Dr Kachi A Testimony of Gratitude
I would like to share an extraordinary experience that has transformed my life. I came across a remarkable testimony online forum about a powerful and renowned spell caster, Dr. Kachi. At the time, I was skeptical because I had never encountered anything related to magic or spell casting before. However, the story of Dr. Kachi’s work resonated with me, and I decided to give it a chance. For years, my family and I struggled financially, and despite my best efforts, I never had luck winning the lottery. I loved playing, but winning seemed impossible. Everything changed when I connected with Dr. Kachi, who provided me with a winning lottery number through a powerful spell. In just 24 hours, I was able to play the lottery and won the Lotto 6/49 prize, a remarkable $68 million cash prize, on September 27th in the Gold Ball Draw. This incredible win has completely changed my life and the financial well-being of my entire family. After 10 years of trying unsuccessfully, I am now living my dream life. I am beyond grateful to Dr. Kachi for his assistance, Dr. Kachi has truly been a blessing to me and my loved ones. I encourage anyone who is interested to reach out to Dr. Kachi for guidance. his website https://drkachispellcaster.wixsite.com/my-site or email drkachispellcast@gmail.com.

I want to share my experience about how I got My Wife Back. After three years of a broken marriage, My Wife left me with our two kids. We were constantly quarreling and struggling, which ultimately led to a serious breakup. My wife packed her things and moved away. Despite this, I was determined to reunite with her. But I was told by a reliable source, a very close co-worker, that Dr Kachi is a very dedicated, gifted and talented person, Then I met Dr. Kachi, a remarkable spell caster, who assured me that my wife would return within 24 hours after he prepared a love spell. I’m thrilled to say that Dr. Kachi kept his word! My Wife came back home, fell to her knees, and begged for my forgiveness. Today, our family is back together, and we are happy, healthy, and living together again. Dr. Kachi made my dreams come true by helping us reunite.

Hello my name is Steven Moore. I started playing lottery games 2 years ago and I have never won a big amount. So I went online to seek help on how I can win big amount of lottery games and I saw some nice reviews about DR JATTO who has made different people huge winners in their lottery games with his powerful spell prayers. I gave it a try and I contacted DR JATTO who told me how and what to do before I can become a big lottery winner and I accepted. DR JATTO made special prayers for me at his temple and gave me the required numbers to play the lottery game and when I played it, I won a massive amount $ 100,000,000.00 Million POWERBALL Jackpot. I was so happy and I chose to receive my winnings in a one-time, lump-sum payment of $50,600.00 at Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee and the balance was given to the store that I bought & played the game from. I would love other people to seek help from DR JATTO. He can be contacted through Email: drjattolovespelltemple01@gmail.com or WhatsApp:+234 901 616 2155 or his website:https://drjattolovespellte0.wixsite.com/my-jattosite
