Good morning!
It's chilly here too. Lisa, I can't believe it's the same temp there as it is here in Northern NY!! Freaky weather lol. We got a little bit of snow overnight, supposed to get scattered snow showers all week. Lovely.

~load & run the dishwasher
~wash/dry laundry
~put away folded laundry
~remind dh to pick up ds's prescription
~call to reschedule two appts

We got about 4 inches of snow yesterday. Then they predicted freezing rain on top of it for overnight. I wake up this morning and its about 34 and no freezing rain thank goodness.
My youngest sons car has some type of leak in the gas tank. Our garage is attached to the house and when I came home yesterday I could smell gasoline. I woke my son up and we searched everywhere then noticed a puddle under his car. Dh came home last night and said the tank may have to be replaced. I am praying it doesn't.
So today:
Let my pets out
cleaned up the kitchen
Put stuff into Quicken
Taking son to get hair cut
Going to Walmart
Washing whites
vaccumming
I think I'll fix hamburgers for dh and son and I'm having turkey burgers

Everyone have a good day and stay warm.

We didn't get much snow last night, though the plows were out. It was about 20* here, but not windy so it wasn't to bad.

So far today I have:
Made the bed
Swiffered the floors
Ran the vaccuum
Fed the dogs and let them out
Got kids off to school
Shoveled the driveway and sidewalk

Shoveled the sidewalk in front of neighbor's house
Got a load of laundry going

If my energy level stays like this, I'll be done by noon and will be able to read for a while!

**justpeachy92** · 01-22-2007, 11:52 AM

My kids don't have school today, so we are off to a rather lazy day. We all slept in and so far the only chore accomplished is the dishwasher is running. I did call and cancel my newspaper subscription. I have only gotten my paper delivered one sunday this month, so we have been running to town to buy the paper.....very unfrugal paying for that darn thing twice. Making lasagna for dinner tonight, plan on making 2 so I can freeze one for another meal. Only other thing planned for today is to get the kids toys picked up and clean the floors before dh gets home from work.
