hey you guys welcome to vlogmas day 15 I
am a day behind oh yeah that's how I
roll ya know anyways I just wanted to
jump on really quick and say I recognize
that I am a day behind I will catch up I
promise but I don't know how I managed
to do it so anyways I am running to
Walmart really quick because I am going
to make tacos but we don't have
everything for it so in return I was
like well tomorrow evening the tomorrow
evening no Wednesday evening we're
supposed to get pounded with rain really
bad from Wednesday to Saturday they're
talking about like flooding and
everything and I'm just like no I'm not
wanting to go out of the house with the
kids in the rain and all of that so I
just decided that I would go ahead and
get a couple nights worth of dinners a
couple nights worth of dinners so that I
don't have to go back out after tonight
for the rest of the week until because
Ali has Wednesday Thursday off but if
it's really rainy nasty and stuff I'm
not going to
with the kids so I'll just get some
stuff for the next few evenings and make
it good
but anyways I've seen a lot of people
are getting hit with snow and thank
goodness we have not yet and I am
praying that we don't because I don't
want it
I cannot stand snow for many many many
reasons but one being because we got
into an accident once with snow it
wasn't our fault it was all he was
driving and this guy pulled off on the
side of the road and this was like a
hill that we were going up and then
we're gonna have to be going down well
this guy pulled over to the side but as
we were coming up to him he started to
pull out like into the traffic but it
was pure ice and so anyways he we ended
up hitting them because there was no way
we could stop we were sliding and so it
scared the Pooh out of me and I just I
don't like I don't like snow I hate
every ounce of it so as long as I don't
get it I'm good in fact I am just hoping
and praying I never have to move to a
state where it's a snowy state because I
would legit hate winter totally because
of the snow but rain rain isn't a bad
thing like I don't care about rain I'm
used to rain Oregon hello that's what we
go by like having to take the kids out
in the rain if I don't have to and then
they also have the norovirus going
around really bad which if you don't
know what that is that's the flu it's
going around really bad I have a friend
that works in the hospital and she said
that she the night that she was working
in the emergency room it was
non-stop people coming in with the flu
and I'm just like and I haven't gotten
mr. Maya his flu shot yet all he hasn't
gotten his flu shot yet and I'm thinking
oh my god this is not what I need so
mine is getting his flu shot all he
needs to make an appointment so that he
can get his because those two are the
ones that are bound to catch crap like
that I that was like a luck of a draw
that I got sick this last time cuz I
never get sick and I've never taken the
flu shot I don't I don't take the flu
shot and the two babies don't because
they have never knock on plastic sick
really like for those reasons you know I
mean Omar's been in the hospital a few
times but for reasons that he was a
preemie and things like that
ezra has never been to the hospital for
well she's been to the hustle that never
kept over Omar's been kept over her she
went one time because I noticed blood
coming out of her ear and ended up that
she had a busted eardrum because she had
an infection I didn't even know this she
never acted sick or anything so but she
was also teething so they said it could
have been brought on from the teething
Omar settle down please
so anyways yeah crazy as it is go ahead
and go so I but Maya because he is prone
to getting pneumonia I have to get his
shot and Ali he's just a walking catcher
he someone can call a hunter feet away
from him and somehow my husband gets it
and I'm just like how and why and the
job that you have is the worst job you
could have when this type of stuff's
going around because totally with people
all the time so I'm just like oh please
don't but anyways so I just wanted to
drop in and say you know happy vlogmas a
15 and I am gonna try and get caught up
somehow someway but I will try and get
caught up anyways I hope you guys are
having a good Monday I had counseling
today so my morning started quite early
it was a really good day don't go please
thank you goodness I need us to this is
somebody right now anyways counselling
was really really good it you know we
touched on some really important
subjects things that are right now I'm
really struggling with and I don't
really want to talk about it right now
and I'm not bringing it up and saying oh
here's this and I'm not going to tell
you the details right now because I'm in
the midst of the problem I don't want to
talk a whole lot about it just because
the issue could be something very
detrimental to me my marriage my my
relationships I mean just everything so
I just right now I don't want to talk a
lot about it but I'm definitely
you know facing some issues that I need
to get worked on and you know my
counselor is an amazing counselor she's
an amazing therapist she's amazing
everything and we're gonna get to the
bottom of it and that's just that's you
know that's the good thing about having
a good therapist is knowing that right
now it's the thick of things and it's
okay because I'm human and that's what
happens but also we're working on it to
get out of it because I don't want to
continuously keep being in the same
repetitious ball of the same problem an
issue that constantly is coming up so
you know I there's just some things I'm
working on but counseling went amazing
today I see myself growing emotionally
even more and that's a good feeling and
I know that I'm not where I was even six
months ago anyways I am going to close
for right now and I'm gonna run to the
store and then I will check in with you
guys in a little bit and oh my gosh you
guys I just got out of Walmart we
weren't in there for very long but we
went in during daylight we came out
during dark time what might
oh do you have your tic-tac be careful
we were in there for an hour you guys
our beats being in there for three or
four hours anyways I got stuff to make
tacos
tonight and then tomorrow night I'm
gonna do pulled chicken sandwiches or
shredded chicken barbeque chicken
sandwiches with fries and then we're
also gonna do the other thing we're
gonna do we're gonna make goulash one of
the nights so anyways I got me a 2020
calendar or not calendar but planner so
I can really I'm gonna sit down and
really focus on a schedule for my
youtube and for my channel and how I'm
gonna do this because there's a lot of
things gonna be happening starting
January 1st and so I want to definitely
be forgive you guys long so I wanted to
get a planner so I can keep myself
organized and then also with all these
schedule changing and stuff everything
is just gonna be kind of you know change
it around a little bit so a planner I
think is really important I got this for
a planner because you know she needed a
planner like mommy so she got herself a
little planner it's a frozen planner
with a matching pin she is fancy fancy
and Omar got Tic Tacs my gosh skittles
and I got my favorite favorite favorite
favorite I'm not gonna look at the
camera so I'm hoping you guys will see
this can you see those they're my
favorite
they are cinnamon gummy bears
oMG yes I mean naughty tonight and I got
myself some gummy and cinnamon gummy
bears oh no are you okay anyway so I got
me some of those because it sounded good
and now I am on my way home to start
peppering for dinner and
I want to get this vlog edited and put
up because like I said I'm behind so
many to get the videos up Coen do turn
your brights off Lord blinded me out you
know I was watching this show some of
you guys might have seen it so you guys
might not have it where you live because
I've got a lot of UK friends but anyways
there's this show it's called cheapest
or I can't even think of the name of it
it's cheap steaks that's what it is the
cheapest cheapstakes cheapest eats
so whatever anyways I'm probably say you
know completely wrong but anyways it's
about this show with people that are the
cheapest people like the most middle
east type so there was this guy and it
was his and his wife's anniversary 25
year anniversary and she was sharing the
story when they got married that back
then 25 years ago they didn't know that
rice kills birds so back in those days
when you would get married people would
throw rice at the bride and groom well
come to find out you know people found
out that rice floats and a bird stomach
and it kills them ultimately that's what
happens so anyways so when they got
married and they were coming out of the
courthouse people were throwing birth
throwing rice at the the bride and groom
and the groom was like legit bending
over and picking up all the rice off the
ground to save it because he said that
was wasting and he took it home and
cooked it for them and that was part of
their dinner for their wedding night so
damn fast for 25 years and they're on
their anniversary so she'd go he goes
out
and he goes dumpster diving to find
stuff for his anniversary for his wife
so he goes to one dumpster and he finds
some wilted basically rotten pink roses
and he found a teakettle and it was like
there wasn't really anything wrong with
it but it was just the fact that you
know came out of the garbage and then he
has a thing when they go to like
restaurants he will go around to all the
tables of people that are finishing
their mill and he will ask them if he
can have their leftovers and people will
be like sure if you want it and so he
would legit have a doggy bag or a good
to go box whatever you want to call him
and he would take everybody's food and
scrape it off and put it in these boxes
and then he would take it home and
that's what they would eat on for a
couple of days now she said she's like
it's not like we don't have money like
we can legit pay for food but it's my
husband is so cheap he will not pay for
food and so on their anniversary night
when they went to the restaurant she
said you know the the best anniversary
gift that you can give me is not
embarrassing me when we go to the
restaurant because I cannot I can't do
this with you tonight like please do not
go around so he promised her he wouldn't
do it and by the end he ended up doing
it because it's like such a habit to him
and he was like I just couldn't let it
go because I seen so much food that was
you know it was good food like why am I
gonna let somebody throw it out it was
like to me I was watching
I don't know if these Crossway um like
one of the plates that he saved was
spaghetti and I don't know how everybody
eats spaghetti but for me sometimes all
like suck some of the noodles in but
then you bite them off and you let the
rest kind of fall down that didn't make
it into your mouth but it touched your
lips touched you know and that's how I
eat spaghetti so I could only imagine
I'm sure that that's probably how most
people do and I'm thinking oh and he's
like scraping that off to go and eat
that and it legit probably went in
somebody's mouth a little bit and then
spit back out a little bit so I don't
know I was just like a little but you
know it made me really think about like
how can people cut corners to really
save money like what could you honestly
do and with that extra money that you're
saving what could you put that to words
to possibly make your life better in the
end now I'm not saying go and eat out of
trash cans and you know go and eat off
of people's plates like you know I would
never do that one because you don't know
what people got into that's just gross
I'm sorry that is just nasty but I have
been watching a few dumpster-diving
people like rural Dunster dumpster
divers like ones that like really know
what they're doing and I actually had a
family member that was a dumpster diver
and he would find sometimes the most
coolest stuff and I would just be like
amazed at what he found
and it's true like you can go to a
dumpster and find some like major
winnings because some stores they're
forced to have to throw stuff out
because that's just that's the role they
can't save it they can't give it away
they have to throw it out
and so I was like thinking today when I
was watching the show like what could we
as of as my family what could we do to
cut corners to just save even a few
dollars a day that would add up but I
mean I wouldn't go to the extreme of
like there's another one where she will
reuse I think was her or maybe it was
that same guy it was some but one of
them they would honestly go and reuse
their paper towels like they would use
them rinse them dry them like hang dry
them and reuse them again to me that is
nasty another one was the lady doesn't
want to waste money on told paper so she
has wash cloths that they use to clean
their body areas after using the
restroom and they're all stained up and
stuff and I'm like oh like I mean I
couldn't I could not do it but there are
things that people can do to help save
money and their families that sometimes
you just don't think about like I
remember years ago I was so what do you
want to call it like I was so
irresponsible I would just go and spend
money like it was on a tree you know and
at that time I was making really good
money because I was doing childcare so
majority of the month I was making iwere
from seven to ten thousand a month
for child care and and that did include
the food program where you get a certain
check kicked back for feeding children
in your care and sometimes those checks
would go for 1,500 to 2,000 so that
would add to the big check that you're
getting from the rest of your income so
I mean easily there were months where I
could have walked away with 12,000 and
it's like I stopped now and I think
about I'm like what do I have to show
for what do I have that I can say okay
you know what I you know I made 12
thousand a month and I should have a
house paid for free and clear I should
have cars paid for free and clear
I should have invested my money
and I didn't and now it's like you know
thirty-eight years later or 38 years old
I am kicking myself so hard because
there are so many things that I could
have avoided had I took that
responsibility and been mature with the
amount of money I was making a month and
really did something like I was supposed
to do with my money and so it makes me
ask myself like what now can I do you
know it's not too late it is not too
late to start hold on Princess it's not
too late to start you can start anytime
and start seeing benefits from saving
money it's all the matter of how much
you're willing to cut back to save to
invest so at the end of the of the time
when you're getting ready to you know
retire with your husband or wife or you
know whatever you will have a good
retirement set back because you've
gotten house paid for your vehicles paid
for so all that stuff is not
responsibilities that you have to
continue to pay for
because you did it when you were younger
and it just was an eye-opener and now
I'm like glued to this show I haven't
seen any well I mean they're new for me
but they're repeats because they're
on-demand and that's how I'm watching
them but if you have never watched them
and you can find them on your cable
check it out it's called the cheapest
cheap stakes I think or something like
that it's on TLC but let me tell you it
is a complete eye opener not that you
have to go to that extreme but even if
you did a little bit of what they do it
would honestly save you so much in the
long run see honestly so anyways okay
I'm not enough enough enough of
jabbering I am going to close this vlog
so I can get it edited as soon as I get
up get up as soon as I get home I will
start editing it while I'm cooking my
tacos and get this up for you guys thank
you so much for having patience with me
vlog meas has been you know interesting
because I'm not used to vlogging daily
like I was at the very beginning and
it's a challenge sometimes especially if
you don't do something every single day
it's kind of like repetitious you know
and I don't want to just put a
repetitious video up so that people are
like oh god here we go we're gonna watch
Jamie do the same thing today as we did
yesterday but I don't do something every
single day there's not every single day
and activity that I am up to but I still
want to be able to show you guys what
we're up to because I know some just
enjoy watching it there has been people
that have told me they enjoy my vlog
knees because
they don't have family and this kind of
fills that void because they have
something to look forward to every day
knowing even if it's the same stuff that
I'm showing it's an enjoyment to them
because it's something that they don't
have and so that makes me definitely
feel really good that people do honestly
enjoy my walks and that they are
enjoying what I'm putting out and you
know that makes me continue to want to
do this even though you know I'm a day
behind and life kind of gets crazy
sometimes and I can't like yesterday I
could not
vlog and edit because by the time I was
ready to edit it was so late I had to
get the kids to bed and so I was like
okay well I'm gonna have to push it out
so tomorrow because there's just nothing
I can do and that's what I had to do and
it's okay but it's just you know
sometimes it's not as easy as it seems
and you will hear though from a lot of
YouTube creators that are doing daily
vlogging they're just like same thing
it's not as easy as it looks
you know we enjoy putting it out there
for you guys but it's not always easy to
do because not every day is there
something to
but we have to find something you know
something interesting to walk so anyways
I'm gonna stop chattering and I am going
to get home so that I can of law or edit
I will get this one up it's gonna go up
a little bit late but it's alright yeah
we'll get up there eventually so I hope
you guys had a wonderful Monday the
fresh start to a new wonderful week
that's always a lovely filling and ok
don't pull out and go slow and I will
check in with you guys to the Matta so
have a rest of your wonderful evening
and I will check in with you tomorrow
she's a blast you guys bye bye
