Frugal Friday

**justjenn** · 10-04-2002, 06:30 AM

Good Morning! I am up browsing on the net. I won't be going back to bed this morning. I am going to town with my sister and my mom. We are going to one of the thrift stores here. I hope I can find some good deals.

But, since I'm staying up I can get my housework done early, so that's good. I'm a little tired. I didn't get home until 11:30 last night, and we had a busy night.

I am going to try to make today as frugal as possible. Dh will be getting $9 in gas, and I am going to try to keep my spending down a lot.

My list:
sweep
mop
vacuum
feed animals
pick up
put clothes away
make bed
balance checkbook
straighten porch up
watch Survivor-I recorded it last night.

Have a good day!

Bad morning already. Madison's bus didn't show up and when I called after it was already 15 min late they said that someone on the bus reported a no pick up

I am just about at my wits end. My daughter is turning 3 this month and I am already having a hard time with all the change. She has cp and we are writing her IEP this month. I am so tired of constantly fighting the "system"! Is that their plan? To wear you down til you just give up??? Every time I talk about everything that is going on with her therapy and the IEP I just start crying. No one told me it would be this hard to have a child with special needs. You would think they would help you more. Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox now.

Sorry, I forgot to even add anything else. Today I have counseling at 10. DH is going to WIC at 9:45. Other than that I am just hanging out around the house. Oh, I have to go take a drug test for the Target job. I'm wondering if working while I am having so many problems with dd's services will be too hard?

**aylasmommy** · 10-04-2002, 01:07 PM

I finally got moved and am still in the process of decorating my new place.
Have been ill last few days so haven't done too much yesterday or today & yesterday had to get a shot in my hip for bursitis {painful :0(}
I did get a couple more things hung up and since I have 2 shelves in my bedroom I put together a efw things for one of them plus I hung up another plant hanger & a 3 tier shelf & put a couple things on that, I also found an old picture of my granparents and put it in a pretty frame I got as a free gift awhile back.
Today is the first time in almost 2 weeks I have been online & it sure feels good to be back
