What work have you got done today:

~laundry folded and put away
~bread baked although the top of the loaves are blacker than the ace of spades and dh is heading for big trouble tonight!!

~schooling is done
~another load of laundry is washing

Otherwise - nothing!!!! I don't even have a clue has to what I'm making for supper tonight.

Zip. Was out today with Nicole & my sister. Going to have to tend to some dishes soon.

**canadian gardener** · 01-09-2006, 04:07 PM

finally hauled out a tray of steaks at NOON!!!! maybe they'll be thawed.

One load of laundry done, but not put away, another load awaiting the dryer, a third sitting there sulking.

I am dressed. My hair isn't combed or my teeth brushed but I'm dressed! That counts as an accomplishment right?

I'm starting up the ladies bible study and the Thursday evening home group this week and I have to get it together as I'm leading both and we wouldn't want anyone to know how I spent my time preparing would we??????

I met my best friend and we went to an inservice at work on hand washing, I was laughing about it at first until they threw out the statistic that there are over 2 million nosocromial (infections obtained while in the hospital) per year and they result in over 90,000 deaths per year in the US. Kimberly Clark is our supplier at the hospital and it really was informative and we were paid for it, it was easy money, LOL.

I then went for my second mammogram in 2 weeks, the first had a spot on it that they wanted to get another film of so I went in to this morning and had a spot compression done. (There is just something not right about having a mammogram on your birthday

LOL )

When we got out of the mammo appointment, we went to a thrift store and then she treated me to lunch at a wonderful new restauraunt.

I then stopped my sister's store and she bought me a new purse, some perfume and a pair of pants and candle for my birthday. I had a great visit with her and we even did a bit of shopping on her lunch hour.

I am home now and DH is going to cook supper for me when he gets home and we are planning to watch a movie.

**KKCondrey** · 01-09-2006, 05:41 PM

nothing yet since I had to work, but I've got 3 new/empty storage containers ready to box stuff up. After dinner I am hitting the nursery and packing away all the clothes that don't fit her anymore.

Thats about all I'll do tonight as I went thru our closets Saturday.

**marym** · 01-09-2006, 06:28 PM

I didnt get much done at my house today. I went to my Son's new house and put up a wallpaper border in my Granddaughter's room. Her room is pink and purple. The border matches the paint, it has butterflys and strawberries on it.....really cute. We just finished up dinner and I am starting a load of laundry and cleaning up the kitchen.

**Early Bird** · 01-09-2006, 07:14 PM

I am trying to put the family on a schedule.

So, a lot of my day was spent pushing and prodding.

Tomorrow will be the same, I'm sure.

What do you do with a 9-yr-old who states, "I won't do it! God gave me FREE WILL!" ?????????????

**ACEHearts** · 01-09-2006, 07:32 PM

I haven't gotten much done today, but did get up to pick up some freecycle goodies and stoped at the one poultry factory and got some awesome deals there. I stopped at a friends house because she was home (rare occurance) and we had a good visit. Home again to find out someone called wanting to buy some of my diapering products, so got supper ready and cleared out the kitchen so my house wasn't quite as much of a disaster (and sold diaper wipes plus a nursing shirts, all $ to go towards my doula training workshop next month!)

Yet tonight I'm going to go through some hand me down clothes I got for DD and pack away the things that are too large. Also going to start sorting through the toys, packing away some that have been around for a while and rotating some new ones in.

I'm tired... I was up late last night posting up a storm! LOL!

  My mom always used to say...."you're going to do it because you *have* to or you're going to do it because you *want* to...but either way.....you're gonna DO IT!!"  LOL!!

 

I have been down in the dumps lately, but I prodded myslef & I got quite alot accomplished.

-cleared out office room of garage sale/give away stuff.  I put it in the garage. 

-chased around a 2-yr-old & the required scads of toys.

-6 loads of laundry.......2 yet to put away

-weeded thru 2 big piles of paperwork.

-cooked dinner & griped at Miss Ashleigh to clean the kitchen afterwards

-

If I were to stay on track with my grand master plan..I'd still need to clean the bathroom & wash the rugs & shower curtain.......my 15 minutes rescuing my dresser......vacuum the living room......and run to go get those blasted 2 cent stamps!!!

I think the bathroom will have to wait....I'm pooped.  As Scarlet O'Hara always says.....I'll think about that tomorrow (or something like that

)

I think I'm going to work on my sweatshirt quilt & watch a movie...after I put the little'un to bed.

**AmyBoz** · 01-09-2006, 07:56 PM

I did one load of laundry and put away that one and two other loads that were clean, but waiting to be put away.

I cleaned the master bathroom.

I cut Julia's hair.

I emptied and refilled the dishwasher.

I clipped 100 coupons and sold a 200 coupon potluck.

I brought in the trash cans and put out the recycling for tomorrow morning.

I played many board games with Julia.

I updated my gradebook.
