Another weekend is upon us. I'm relieved it's finally here, since we had such a busy week!

Three of our youngest children began school yesterday - year round school district - and getting everyone back on a routine (what routine?) has been difficult to say the least!

Plus we still have the two older one's home everyday and keeping them entertained and not bored without the younger ones, has been interesting to say the least. Thank goodness they have each other!

I'm definitely ready for a little humor this weekend and some fun family time with no stress. I hope your weekend is excellent and I hope you enjoy these great funny budget/frugal living jokes.

Joke #1

A young couple decided that a painless way for them to be able to save money would be for the husband to put all his change into the bedside china piggy bank each time they had special time together. One night, while things were going pretty well, the husband accidentally knocked the bank onto the floor where it smashed into pieces. Much to his surprise, among the masses of coins, there were also numerous five and ten dollar bills. "What's up with all these bills?" he asked his wife. "Not everyone is as cheap as you are!" she replied.

Joke #2

A woman wasn't feeling well, so she asked a co-worker if she could recommend a doctor. "I know a very good doctor, but he is quite expensive. He charges $350 for the first visit, and $150 for each subsequent visit, but he really is quite good," replied the co-worker. The woman went to the doctor's office and, trying to pull a fast one and save herself some money, she cheerfully announced, "I'm back!" Not fooled for a moment, the doctor gave her a quick exam and said, "Very good, now just continue the treatment I prescribed for you on your last visit."

Joke #3

You know you need a budget when...

... you have to use both sides of the toilet paper. ... burglars break into your house and leave money! ... you have an order of fries on layaway at McDonald's. ... someone walks in your front door, and they are in the backyard. ... you sit down and passed gas, the bugs underneath say "Clap your hands and stomp your feet, praise the Lord cause we got heat!" ... you ask for credit at the 99 cent store! ... your face is on the front of a food stamp. ... you use a fork with your cereal to save milk. ... you go to the park, pigeons throw bread at you. ... you can't even afford to pay attention.
