Today is:
O.T.

home
clean the cat litter box
clean the rabbit hutch and throw it on the garden beds
start to organize my jewelry
IF it gets into the 60's, I'll open the windows and air out the house some
Pizza and beer tonite!
might be able to stay up past 8pm LOL

this weekend we're buying some cabinets for the kitchen. we've been working on re-doing it one piece at a time. We just paid off the new fridge yesterday! w00t!
I'm getting rid of the kitchen table(we eat at the dining room tables anyways), and putting in more storage and counter top space. Then later on we'll paint the older cabinets to match the new white ones.
I'm also buying some extra large totes for my winter coats, and am turning the coat closet into a stock pile closet! HA!

Well I worked long hours a few days this week to have off today so since everyone else will be gone in a bit I am going to get some of the extras done today at a leisurely pace (and take some time for myself).

~ play at the village
~ laundry
~ grocery shop
~ go through my stockpile
~ hit the library
~ work on the finances
(balance the accounts and the spreadsheet)
~ set up a doctors appointment
~ call the homeowners insurance
~ fling at least 30 items
~ cook dinner
~ finish my book
~ deep clean something
~ wipe down the bathroom
~ EXCERSIZE
~ make a list of what the kids need
(and maybe hit a thrift store to see if I can get any of it - they are growing like weeds. The younger one is up 2 sizes since the beginning of the school year :gasp

~ clean out the fridge
~ cook a couple of meals to put up

Wow.Looking back over it that looks kind of long but the reality is that some of them can be done in a couple of minutes so it won't be too bad and I'll have a feeling of definate accomplishement. On top of that many of them are things I enjoy .... or at the very least don't mind doing.

Have a great day all!!!!

Today I went to work, and while I was on lunch I made the bed and paid towards layaway for our new futon frame (!). Now that I'm off, I need to:

-- go to the store for some paper products and HBA
-- fold a load, wash a load
-- declutter family room
-- clean kitchen: wipe countertops, shred excess mail, clean range, etc (there is more mess than I care to describe)
-- vacuum
-- straighten guest bedroom in case we are dive bombed by a spur of the moment visit from in-laws ...

Guess I better hop to it!
