[PrairieRose]

How's everybody after the holiday? Me? I'm stuffed!

I've got lots to do today and my poodle is acting really sick. I think she's hurt her left knee....

For me today it's:

Run through, pick and put up
Laundry
Workout
Shower/hair/makeup
May have to take poodle to the vet
Buy a few groceries
Highlight a friend's hair this p.m.
Cook something for dinner
More Laundry....I almost never have this much to do.

Hope everyone has a great Monday

Get the car detailed and tires switched before the snow comes

Pay water and electric

LOTS of homework to do, since I slacked alittle this past holiday

Give dog a bath

Feeling under the weather and sad this morning. Oldest DD, SIL and the three boys left for home after church and supper last night. Woke up this morning with a headache, sore throat and runny nose...Arrrg! It started raining on the way to take dd to school this morning, so I had to put on my rain suite when I got back home to feed the goats, dogs and cats. Can't complain about the rain though cause we really need it.

The rest of the day looks like this:

Dust
Vacuum
Mop Floors
Laundry
Clean bathrooms
Make two large pot pies from leftover turkey. One for supper tonight w/salad and the other one for the freezer for another busy day supper.
Bake two more pecan pies
Pick up dd from school
Eat supper
Address Christmas cards and get two packages ready to mail out tomarrow.
Work on homemade Christmas cards and gift bags for Sunday School class
Bath
Maybe a little T.V.
Bed

Looks like I have an unusually busy Monday too!

I have Mondays off, so I'm going add in my 2 cents.

Today I'm going to:
Make the bed
Get the kitchen cleaned, unload the dishwasher and reload
decorate the tree, and clean the remainder of our Christmas items out of the living room floor
Sweep the back porch
work or Dsis' Christmas gifts
Wrap all other Christmas gifts
Hem a skirt
maybe some laundry
Clean out the back bedroom (which is now storage)

Whew, that looks like a lot when I write it down, I guess I'd better get started!

Hello everyone,
Already accomplished, laundry, hanging to dry, made some telephone calls, computer time, planned dinner (leftover ham from yesterday)
On my way to do errands. Off to target to buy 2 more sets of lights, we ran short decorating the outside. Then to the grocery store, I need to buy eggs and butter. My plan for this afternoon, is to cut out a pattern for a xmas gift I plan to sew, and make chocolate chip cookies to mail to my dsil. Maybe later tonight start to address xmas cards, would like to get them out by the end of the week. Or I may be back here.

bye, hope everyone has a great day.

Woke up to a light dusting of snow, glad it wasn't much I need to get to work today. I'm feeling better after that cold I had last week, just don't really feel like doing much today.
Need to:
run the dishwasher
wash a load of laundry
straighten up after the weekend

[JustJoy]

So far today I've:
*colored my hair
*ran up to Walgreens to pick a couple RX's
*went to Walmart for a few things
*did 2 loads of laundry
*washed down the outsides of my kitchen cabinets, top and outside of fridge, & clean the kitchen ceiling fan.

I still need to sweep & vacuum, but I'm taking a break first!

[yankeegal]

Afternoon all...
The holiday for me was very good, but hectic as well. We ended up having company for the weekend-totally unprepared for that.
Today is running errands, and maybe doing some more Christmas shopping.
The rest of the week is doing cookies-have 2 extra birthday parties to do.
Finish decorating the house...
Hope all who are feeling under the weather feel better soon.
Have a great day!

So far today I have:

*Went to my doctor's appointment (waste of my time, but that's another rant. I did get a flu shot and some bloodwork done that I needed while I was already there)
*Got a pedicure (I told my inlaws who were babysitting that my appointment ran late - but I really needed to be pampered today!)
*Have a load of laundry in the washer
*Made a few phone calls
*Went to the grocery store for milk and bread, and got a few more things for our turkey dinner this weekend. Should have everything now, but since I didn't bring a list with me I'm sure I'll be missing something.
*Filled out paperwork so we can change over to DH's health insurance

Left on the agenda for today:
*Update my blog
*Continue with our furniture move. Aiming to get the couches and most of the furniture for the living room in place. The office is still a mess, but I can shut the door to the office (LOL)

[dwallyfam]

Need to wrap DH b-day present for tomorrow
Fold Laundry
Sew
Scrap
Update a few things on the computer
Order a few presents from cyber monday sales
