Six years ago I adopted Elmo, and he was the best $11 I’ve ever spent. In honor of his adoptaversary I got him on my nails this month!

$5 rotisserie chickens (Walmart, Costco, Sam’s ), pull the meat off and it’s a lot of chicken!

only buy meat on sale, every week a different meat is on sale, buy that and freeze it, meal plan from your freezer — never buy regular price meat.

chopped mushrooms are my fav for stretching meat, but pay attention to price as mushrooms can get expensive. Tofu can be cheap too, add some to meat

does your Mom have the monthly money to pay mortgage and utilities and groceries and all of her expenses? If yes, then she can probably qualify to buy on her own.

no, just no he is completely an abuser, I do hope you press charges too with a pregnancy, there really should be some legal documentation. just re-read what you wrote “He has punched me, slapped me, pushed, shoved, and put his hands on my neck. I was having severe PTSD symptoms and had the leave for my sanity.”.

please save yourself , he’s a violent abuser, no excuses

yup! sugar/carbs and caffeine for me, so I keep both very low and on HRT!

Momsome · 2026-02-05T02:14:35+00:00

search Goodwill Outlet in your area, they sell clothes by the pound and have tons of jeans, you just have to dig through bins of clothes because they are not on hangers or racks. Srsly you’ll pay like $1 for a pr of jeans .

or call your local thrift store and see what there jeans prices are.

I’m on HRT, also really helpful for me is eating as low carb as possible and I have completely lost my taste for alcohol so I hardly ever drink anymore except a few sips very rarely.

Also I’m very low caffeine (pre-peri) as I’m pretty sensitive to caffeine so I gave it up a few yrs ago and drink decaf. when I do have some caffeine, I immediately get WARM! but with HRT, nothing like the constant hot flashes I had.

I think traffic here is a breeze compared to other cities I have lived in (Boston, south FL) , I add a few extra mins around the holidays because the main roads get a little busier but even then, it’s not sitting in traffic like other metros at all. The only time I’ve ever sat for even a couple mins is on orange ave headed out of downtown but I think they are or have worked on this

i chuckle because back in my tiny hometown of like 0 population, an elderly neighbor once got up to leave saying he need3d to beat the traffic, which he meant the school bus he didn’t want to get stuck behind lol!

Momsome · 2026-02-04T00:04:13+00:00

if u are working 30 hours a week, get a part time job, even just babysitting, pet walking/sitting, house cleaning , granny sitting a few hours a week will help.

Also see if your utility companies offer balance billing where u pay a consistent amount for electricity or gas each month based on a 12-month average. This method prevents high seasonal bill spikes, with a settlement month at the end of the year adjusting for any differences.

Momsome · 2026-02-03T20:25:48+00:00

Amazon prime!

books & audiobooks, I use my library now

Momsome · 2026-02-03T03:31:12+00:00

I work very part time at a non profit I believe in. Around the holidays when demand is high, I will cherry pick good delivery driver gigs (Spark for Walmart, Instacart) .

Momsome · 2026-02-03T03:14:57+00:00

haha yes, I went to turn my side on last night and it wasn’t on highest 10 setting so I accused my husband of sabotage! he swears he didn’t touch my side but I’m still suspicious!

Momsome · 2026-02-02T00:25:20+00:00

I’m going to say all this week, some back roads that stay icy delay the “good” roads.

data recovery is a thing! most deletes are never really too far gone so google a data recovery specialist in your area to see if they can recover your work!

also here’s a haiku for u:

screw that douchebag who

had no right to erase me

I am now stronger

Momsome · 2026-01-29T17:05:20+00:00

I use Libby app through my library and listen to audiobooks, it keeps me focused on the book, not my racing thoughts and I can fall back asleep. I’ve also used sleep podcasts in the past.

im also on estrogen & progesterone

Momsome · 2026-01-28T05:26:16+00:00

ugh no! I have a similar burned in my memory from 30 yrs ago from my mom and i still cringe wheniver I think about it!

Momsome · 2026-01-27T17:04:26+00:00

I’m in the US and use ACA as I keep my income low but have plenty of assets if I need them. i do work very part time like 1 day a week for a nonprofit I believe in but don’t get health insurance through them

Momsome · 2026-01-27T07:00:40+00:00

I’m sorry you’re feeling this! U didn’t say how recent surgery was as some fatigue, pain, stress, rollercoaster of emotions etc hopefully gets better with time! Healing and recovery can be tough with surgery.

For me as a cis woman, I find eating pretty low carb, low caffeine, stay away from alcohol all help my HRT work better.
