Friday Fun Poll: How broke are YOU???

If you're not broke...can I come live with you??? I keed! I keed!

As a single mom, I am generally always in some state of brokeness. It's ok. God provides for our needs. BUT when it gets really down the wire, I have to crack out the "n" word a lot (in this instance that would be "no") to the divas. But they take it with a sense of humor. In fact, we started a little game I'd like to share.

Since it's Friday, I thought I'd get you all into it too (plus I need some new ideas...we sort of try to trump each other on wittyness).

Here goes. When talking about being broke we go in turns and say, "Man we're so broke! We got..."

"...peanut butter but no jelly!"

"remote but no control!"

"pork but no beans!"

"hair but no spray."

Last night the girls bested me in this game cuz I ran out of steam. Today, I make my comeback.

So I ask...how broke are YOU?

I'm so broke, I go to KFC and lick other peoples fingers.

ETA - wouldn't be broke if I got rid of my kids. Youngest 2 are in competitive gymnastics and both just started orthodontics. I *could* cut back though.... so not really complaining.

Feeling your pain. I just paid for two sets of braces and its fairly obvious kid #3 is headed that way as well. I blame my husband - I have good teeth!!!

My husband's fault too. He spent 7 years in different stages of his treatment. Poor kiddos need the works.... retainers (top & bottom), expanders, braces, head gear....

This is too funny! I love it. I'm also a single mom of 2. I've been broke for 15 years! My girls are now 16 and 24. I wished I had thought about this game a long time a go.
We got a car and no gas
We got a check book but no money in the bank
We got spaghetti and no sauce
We got a tv and no stations (that was before I could afford satalite tv)

I"m going to have to share this with my girls.
Thanks for sharing!
