Madness

Mood: optimistically hopeful
Listening to: Clinking Coins

Now you must be wondering why I have two titles up on this article......not really sure but it beats flipping a coin and choosing one that best describes my ineffectual bid at thriftiness...

Last night at exactly 8:15pm...i burrowed through the usual mess I had on my tiny purse....last months payslip..the previous months cable bill...my usual grocery bills stacked in an ungainly fashion looking for some hidden (how i wish) money.  No paper bills surfaced....not even a lowly 20 peso bill showed up.....Darn it....now i have to live with a few measly coins that i dredged up from the cookie jar and from my medicine cabinet.  Hah!!!  Lotsa good it'll do me.

Good thing payday is early this morning.  Pathetic as it seems...I actually had to trade in a few dollars just to make sure that I make it till my next payday.

Its just that everything that might happen disastrously did.  My head is pounding right now on how to make ends meet. My househelp just hooked up a 110 volt 27" television on a 220 volt powersource. What do you expect would happen...without cartoon network my kids would die.....i would too (imagine the chaos).  I had to shell out 1,800 bucks to make sure that its up and working in 2 days. Dana and Leila...my eldest and second daughter is going to be recognized next weekend....being with honors have some perks...my kids does not let me forget that.

Back to the grindstone for me.....the urge to splurge does not stop...because the responsibility basically goes on and on...but how can a pocketful of coins fill up the difference????   I wonder..................
