Perks of Being A Stay At Home Poor Person.......

• My lipstick is lasting a very long time due to being used lightly once a week. (I put on a bit of makeup when the kids come, don't want to scare them!)

• Doing much less laundry. (Not leaving the house for days at a time. You do not want to know how grungy I can get!)

• Eating healthier because have not been in a restaurant in 3 or 4 months. (We used to eat "out", fast food or nice restaurant every day because we both worked.)

• House is cleaner. (I think better when I am doing something, so if I get a block while writing, I will get up and vacuum or empty the dishwasher.)

• I am cooking more. (Though I always hated it, my DIL and sons girlfriend have inspired me to be creative and when you have time it's not so bad.)

• Not spending money on gas because it cost money to go do anything away from home. No lunches with friends, shopping therapy etc. (Cabin fever is definitely a problem though!)

• Bad news - Applied for food stamps......Bad news - We qualified! Ha! (But the name has been changed to CalFresh Card, to protect our self-esteem I think.)

• I can talk aloud to my self all I want because I am alone most of the time. (Super thankful that Hubs is working though!!)

• When my girlfriends call I can always chat because I am not in the car. (Illegal to use cell phones while driving here.)

• Don't have to shave my legs or wear a bra. (Aren't you glad I told you that?)

• Does not matter that I now cut my own hair because no one sees me anyway. (Wally mart does not count as "anyone".)
