On the weeks of the small paychecks you simply can’t pay everyone that thinks they need paying. You pay the bills that take top priority and let the others slide, buy groceries, and put a little go-go juice in the vehicles. The thing about bills is no matter how much the bill collectors hound you and claim that if you don’t make the payment today over the phone, the world won’t come to an end if you don’t. We get paid on Fridays. It doesn’t matter if you call me Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. If you didn’t get paid the previous Friday, it is not happening this week. When I get the money, you get the money. It is what it is.
I have always had a home phone until recently. Then I realized that the only people that ever call on the home phone are telemarketers and the occasional bill collectors. In other words, the only people who actually ever called the house phone were those that I really don’t give a rats a$$ if I ever talk to. So in the grand scheme of things I decided that I really didn’t need a home phone so I canceled it. On the same line of thinking I figured out I didn’t have to pay over $250.00 a month to have a cell phone with unlimited everything. We got Straight Talk pay as you go android phones that do absolutely everything my high priced T mobile phone could do and pay a jaw dropping $45.00 a month per line. That is only $90.00 a month for unlimited everything!! Ka-ching! I can just hear all the money I am saving!! Why pay more?? In the price wars, you lose T mobile!! It is what it is.
Although I am trying to lose weight, I accept the fact that it will be a rough and tough battle. Although when I look in the mirror I see a woman the size of a barn, I am always happy when I see people bigger than me when I am out and about. I know I am not a skinny Minnie, but if you don’t like the way I look you can look the other way. I am a work in progress!! It is what it is.
Even though my husband is quite vocal about his hatred of cats, I like them. I put up with his dogs and as long as he is married to me and I have breath in my body he will put up with my cats. I have seen him sneaking around petting cats when no one is looking, so he fools absolutely no one. For all his blustering about, he is gone more than he is not so if I want cats I will have cats. It is what it is.
I keep to myself, am not afraid to speak my mind, and will fight for my husband and kids. I am loyal to those I love and to my friends. I am gifted in the fact I can usually find something amusing in just about every situation. You will never have to guess what I am thinking because I tell it just like it is and rarely sugar coat things. I am what I am and it is what it is until next time when I give you another glimpse into the life of a trucker’s wife.
