Absolutely nothing and I've enjoyed every minute of it. Today's my b-day so I got presents in bed, LOL. I haven't had to cook or lift a finger all day.

First thing I did today was sing in church. Then...
I did a thousand pounds of laundry, but now it's all done and put away. Phewf!!!
Then, ds1 and I cleaned the bathrooms (he loves that job...go figure!) while dd cleaned her room. Then, I dusted and swept the living room and stairs and cleaned the walls. (lots of little fingerprints...gotta get rid of the white paint)
Dh spent the whole day on the yard. Our leaf blower blew and he had to drive to his sisters to borrow hers. Luckily, hers is HIGH powered, and so that part went quickly.
Ds2 has just been playing happily and "helping" all of us in our tasks. Now, all the babies are sleeping, dh is getting ready to watch the Giants and I'm grading papers until Family Guy comes on. Then, I'm hitting the sack because after 4 days off, it's going to be tricky to get everyone up and out in the morning. Back to work!

We got up about 8:30 am at our campsite and made breakfast tacos over the campfire. Then we started cleaning everything up, folded down the pop up camper and drove the two hours it took to get home. After we got home, I put all the wet and dirty towels we keep in the camper in the wash and finished some of the laundry before the school/work week starts. It was a great weekend for camping, all-in-all and now I'm just trying to get all my typical weekend stuff done.

I got up at 8:45 (was up until 2.20 a.m.) and stripped ht ebed, sarted laundry, bathed the dog, washed her beeding, went to the shelter to work, came home,put dinner in the Crock Pot, did more laundry, vacuumed, did MORE laundry, made lunch, did MOREMORE laundry, folded all the laundry, welcomed DS#2 and DH home, did THEIR laundry, ran the dishwasher, tried to lay down (the *&^%&&# phone rang and DS#2 HAD to talk to me while I was trying to doze), walked the dog, folded the last of the laundry, brought wood in for the fire and have collapsed!
I intend to do my nails tonight and NOTHING more! .

I woke up and fixed myself breakfast. Washed clothes and cleaned up around the house. Baked 2 loaves of bread for the week, cooked a big pot of soup and then babysat my niece all afternoon. All in all a pretty good day.

I made waffles for breakfast, did some laundry, and used a giftcard to get some household items, on sale of course. (Still setting up my new apartment.) And I will admit to a small indulgence - took my son out for Starbucks hot chocolate.

[QUOTE=Nana2two;1040243]Happy Birthday to you!!!!!

I did alot of driving today. I took my daughter & her friend to see the "So you think you can dance" tour last night in Pittsburgh which is 3 hours from us. We spent the night so we had to drive back from there & then I had to drive her to her ballet practice - she's a mouse in the Nutcracker
. Then I went to do some grocery shopping at Krogers - they sent me some good freebie coupons last week (the kids were excited about the free ice cream, lol). Then back home where I made a ham & packaged up the 10 ebay auctions I had close over the weekend (I was so proud of myself that I actually got my audiobooks posted & they all sold). Now I am trying to get my kids in bed or at least quiet so I can spend some time with DH before he heads of to KY next week for work.

Happy birthday, Paula.
DH and I made a run to Wal-Mart for a few groceries. Then we stopped by and dropped off a couple of bags of clothes at the thrift shop. We also stopped by Publix for some newspapers and flowers. Tomorrow is my step-mom's birthday. She is hard to buy for so DS made her some brownies and we bought a beautiful bouquet of flowers in a gorgeous dark colored vase for her.
While we were out, the kids folded laundry, did the dishes and cleaned their rooms.
After we got home the kids cut the grass and trimmed the bushes. DH edged the yard and I made Christmas bows and hung them on the mailbox.
DS and DH made dinner while DD played on the computer and I hung some cute Hawaiian grass looking curtains for her.
Now we are all just relaxing and doing our own stuff. Hopefully, everyone will all be in bed by midnight.Last edited by Neeley; 11-09-2008 at 09:40 PM.

We hauled in hay and cut up some firewood. Ughhh.It took all day.I gathered up kindling wood. I am cracking and picking out hickory nuts while I watch TV. Taking a small break and will finish up soon, then head for slumberland. Hope you all had a great day. Happy Birthday Paula.

I got up and called my ods to wish him a happy 20th birthday. This is his first birthday that we have not spent together. Hes a grown up now.
I did some laundry and general pick up and the rest of the time I spent on the computer or doing much of nothing
