Hi Danielle!

I see you need help with Fly Lady, too! I have been suscribed for at least 3 months and I even bought her book. It really, really helps, nourishes me, makes me feel I can forgive myself for my messiness and that I can start over and be a relatively organized person. It`s no magic. What she says, is quiet simple. It`s just to have some routines and not expect it to be a perfect clean home.

I`m working hard on my inside(not my house, but me..LOL!) these days, while I`m reading her book and telling myself I`ll get there, slowly, but surely...

So far...

-made lunches for 3 kids and aunt
-prepared everyone for their day
-had breakfast myself
- took a one hour walk and took Patrick to the park(he was sooo happy!)
-I`m now on the computor...

-I`m planning on going out to lunch(I need a break...)
-do the dishes later and see what I can make for supper that is quick.

Have a beautiful day, Danielle and to all who will follow...

We didn't have a very miserly Monday here both DD and I had to go to Doctor's office!! Iwent for a shot and DD went because she has an earache!! We had to go to Publix to pick up her medcine and saw that our favorite Soda's were on Sale Coke and Dr. Pepper 12pack for $1.99 until Wed. Here!! Then DH needed to get some Sandwich Meat and I convinced him to get us some IceCream(Yummy Ice Cream)!! No money saved on the Ice Cream or the Sandwhich Meat at all No Coupons used!! Then we go to check out and pay for what little bit we got and DH asked if he could have some cash back and the lady though DH said 50 dollars and DH only wanted and needed 15 dollars so we had to run by the bank and deposit the money in the bank and then DH , DD and I eneded up going to Wendy's to eat Special Treat for DD and I to eat with DH out!! At least at the Grocery Store on one pack of the Soda's box it had a coupon on it !! I also was able to recieve the coupons from Sunday's Paper!!

So not really a miserly Monday but a alright and hopefully a more Frugal Monday ahead for me and my Dear Family!!
I hope to recieve more freebies,samples, and or coupons in the mail today!!

I should sub back to Flylady too! I had been on email and got SO sick of all the emails telling me TO GO TO BED and it would only be 8oclock lol. I guess I could go to no emails.

I am feeling really hay feverish today, my nose is running non stop and now I'm sneezing...so I don't think today will be too productive

I have actually sorted the whole pile of coupons on my table and organized them! That's a start! Now we can eat there again

I did all my morning chores..and just waiting for the laundry room to be empty so I can start that..

I also need to just wash everything in the house so it smells CLEAN

Tonight I plan on buying a bunch of stuff for near free..and getting paid 5 bucks to buy 5 toothbrushes

Hey that five bucks will make that 5$ mozzerella block free now that i think of it

Whoo hoo!

I also found a form for free maalox that we can use so that'll be cool too.
