Morning all!
Today our schools are closed due to wind chill. It is about -23 here right now. The wind is crazy. It has created HUGE drifts on the road. Can you believe we are into March with weather like this?
I am hoping to use this extra day off to clean up a bit around here. We seem to be soooo busy lately, that we are getting behind in our house chores.
But first I am going to have an extra cup of coffee and watch the rest of The Today Show. I never get to see it.

What is everyone else up to?
Have a wonderful day!

Another cold morning here. It's 14 with some lake effect snow at the moment. DH is working from home today as he has a dentist appt later this morning and the dentist's office is only 5 minutes from us. In about an hour my MIL and I are going to Aldi and Walgreens. After that...who knows...lol

Temps here are a whopping 6*--not sure what the wind chill is but it is COLD! Even the dogs didn't want to go out. And both kids asked twice to make certain I would be picking them up from school, not walking home lol!

Today is all mine!! Until 3, anyway. I cleaned everything yesterday, the laundry is done, and all I have to do is consume lots of caffeine.

Today is in the negatives (so they say) and with the wind chill supposed to get even colder, yikes!

~ Wash a laundry and some blankets
~ Get oil delivered today
~ Straighten up around the house
~ Cook dinner early (baked chicken, white rice and pink beans)
~ Do some organizing using some storage boxes I found while de-cluttering

~ Relax, drink some diet pepsi, watch some TV

C-c-c-cold here too! The kids are out of school because of the wind chill values (-22*F when I checked at 8:30am). The benefits of living in a 'city' and the kids having to walk to school I guess.

I have a meteorology test that I need to take sometime today. I was hoping to take it while the kids were at school, but there goes that. Now I have to try to get it done while they are home and up my butt.

I have two classes today, I don't wanna go out in the cold!! There's laundry to be done, the dishwasher to load. Gotta sweep & mop the kitchen and vacuum the downstairs.

Looks like we are having spring like weather today (59/60). We have students at the facility at work so I should have a pretty quiet day. On the home front we have switched to the commission basis of chores like D. Ramsey recommended so I am only worried about what chore I am doing which will be dining room. Took my final this Saturday so there is no school work to worry about- I am enjoying that.
Dinner tonight will be tater tots, sauted zucchini and meatballs.

~It's windy and cold here, too. About 20*, I think, but sunny! We've had breakfast and I've folded and put away a load of laundry. I've also started a load of darks and checked my email. After I get dressed and make the beds I should;
-unload/load dishwasher
-freeze chicken breasts
-vacuum living room, hall and bedrooms
-dust/swipe
-sweep and mop kitchen
-aim for and enjoy 4 hours unplugged today
-enjoy some hoagies for dinner and then go to the in-laws for the evening
-American Idol tonight, yey!

Stay warm and have a great day everyone!

Today will be 74º but it is still 45º as I type.

I have to go pay a bill.
I MUST take a shower...really....
I need to seal and list a tissue box cover on ebay.
Need to send an ebay invoice when 2 of my items go off today.
I am picking up my neice from kindergarten because my sister has a dr appointment.
I did a quick house clean already but have a few areas that need attention.
I hope to get a paper towel holder painted to list on Ebay. I already have a lot done on it so.....
I have laundry going.

Oh and my circuit popped in my kitchen so I am going to have to have that fixed. For some reason it came back on after a week and I was excited to JUST USE THE LIGHT again and dh walks in there and turns on the rinse on the dishwasher to"see what happens" and popped it again.

I need to add to my list--kill dh for taking away my LIGHT!

I mean really, if you have an electrical problem that suddenly "fixes" itself you still need to call the electrician so you don't have a FIRE!

nuts!

Since then I have:
~cleaned the playroom, living room, decluttered kitchen
~vacummed all of downstairs.
~ took out hamburger for dinner
~rechecked grocery ads for a trip tomorrow

my DD and DS are going to head upstair with me in a few minutes to declutter bedrooms.
They seem to get a lot done if I give them a 15 minute time limit..gotta love the Flylady for that tip

**Marie78** · 03-06-2007, 11:36 AM

It's sunny out right now, but only -14 degrees with the windchill. I have quite a few chores to complete today. I woke up earlier than usual because the fire alarm battery is low in the hallway of my apartment building, it keeps beeping every few minutes (annoying). I called the office so hopefully they will send someone to fix that today.

I need to do laundry, clean the kitty litter, vacuum the floor, and clean the kitchen and bathroom today. I am going to start those chores in 30 minutes after I eat something and have some tea or coffee.
