Today the kids and I are all sick with the flu. We stayed home and did some laundry and cleaned up a little. It's nice & warm, so I opened the windows to air out the house. Collected 6 eggs from the hens. This past weekend, we adopted 3 more baby chicks. (1 is a rooster) They are so cute & fuzzy. Just love them! Tomorrow, if I feel better, I need to work on March's budget.
It's been raining all day. It's cool & nasty outside. I sewed & quilted a tablerunner for my sister-in law for Xmas. Tomorrow I'm going to try to start wrapping the presents before we put the tree up next week. Made 2 loaves of french bread for the freezer. Collected 5 eggs from the hens, including one that is green.

Have to try to get back into the habit of blogging. It keeps me in a frugal "mindset". Today I washed 2 loads of laundry in cold water with only 1 tablespoon of detergent in each load. I have just opened a Box of Sun, 150 loads. I'm trying to see how long it will last. Was able to deposit $70 in savings today. Our EF is slowly growing. Hoping to make the last payment on our credit card in February. After that, we will be DEBT FREE except the mortgage. ...
