It's going to be a rushy kind of morning. Got the kids lunches packed and them dressed, fixing to run them to school. Have to get back home tidy up, run to town for supper items, go back to school for lunch with Jellybean, then get back home and do some work on the pc. Then start tagging garage sale items. It's nasty outside, rain and fog and my umbrella broke...NO! Will have to pick one up in town today. Hope everybody's Monday is a good one!

Good morning. I've got to clean out the fridge, start laundry, unload dishwasher, clean off my desk and get ready for work. I'll probably exercise when I get home from work tonight. It's warm here but overcast and drizzling rain.

Morning all,
It was a little tough to get out of bed this morning. Ugh...

Today is work for me and school for the kiddos. Backpacks and lunches are ready to go, and I wake up the first kid in 4 minutes. Better enjoy the silence while I can!

Tonight oldest dd has bball practice after school, but other than that, no activities!

Have a great day!

Cleaned the dining room and living room today.

Working on the kitchen.

Washing all of our bedding.

Need to ship a couple of baby blankets I knitted to my niece---not frugal.

Pay some bills and bring checkbook up to date.

Bath and bed.

Spent $101 at the grocery store today. Yup, pretty much my whole budget for the month. Stocked up on some items and found some coconut spread in the margarine isle. Still can't get over the fact that I spent that much on one shopping trip. Atleast the items will last for awhile.

Need to take some items to the dumpster. Still finding things I can purge.

Can I just say how much I LOVE everything bagels. But man are they packed with calories! Trying to lose weight here...could maybe have half of one of those.

Well, got up and worked out this a.m. for the first time in forever - 2 miles on the tread. Already feel good from just one workout. Back on my healthy eating after eating lots of junk over the weekend. Today lots on my to-do list - went to grocery store and post office on my work lunch hour; stopping at GoodWill to drop off stuff after work. Trying to get into the habit of doing at least one cleaning thing a day, so tonight need to empty dishwasher and refill with dishes in sink since I did a bunch of cooking yesterday afternoon. Beautiful sunny 48 degrees here in the Chicago burbs - so weird for us in January, but the cold arrives Wednesday - and some snow.
