Default Manic Monday

Actually Manic Monday sounds pretty good. I've been looking for our BBQ warranty and can't find it
Things to do today. Housework pretty much everything.
Son starts 2 a day football practices so run him back and forth.
We are getting a Dollar Tree store nearby. I think it is supposed to open in September. Does anyone have any experience shopping at Dollar Tree? I'm anxious to go there.

Happy Monday

Marcimae: We have a Dollar Tree, and I really like it. Ours has some food, and the spices there are great. I get onion powder there for $1, which is much more expensive at the store. They have pasta 2/$1. Our store carries lots of candles and lots of household, beauty, etc. I guess it is like other stores. You can get great deals there, but you have to watch. Have fun shopping there!

My day today:

Laundry (one load done and on the line)
Wash winter jackets and get them on the line (they are washing now and will soon be ready to hang on the line.
Vacuum
Sweep
Clean up basement
Go to grocery store for a few items

Then the unfrugal part of the day; I have to take my daughter school shopping. We did some this weekend, but she is so tiny that finding clothes to fit is hard. So, we are trying again today, as school starts next week.

After dinner is cooked and served, my son has band practice, so we will be taking him there and staying to watch the practice.

Have a great day everyone

Another busy day here.

- have to bake bread and doing some cookie baking
- need to get my applesauce finished
- need to fold the clothes from yesterday
- need to begin to look at the projects for the coming school year
- need to put away all of my canning from this weekend

Everyone is still sleeping here yet, so I don't usually start working until they are up. Its my quite time on the computer. So its going to be a late start today.

Good morning! I am actually glad it is Monday. I feel so much more “normal” when I wake up, get ready and go to work. I was so lazy and lethargic all weekend. It is nice to be up and doing productive stuff.

Today’s plans are:

Work 7am-4pm
Make dinner
Do dishes
Clip coupons
Spend time with DH

Hope you all have a great day!

B - Coffee, Yogurt, Fruit
L - Mexican!!!! Going out
D - ??? I’ll figure out later

Manic Monday here for me. I have a horrible migraine, and I am due at work in about an hour. If we weren't so short handed I would miss, because I am just not feeling up to dealing with all the aggravation. Wish me luck!

Marcimae, we have a Dollar Tree. I love it! I could spend hours and tons of money in that place. They have food, toys, kitchen stuff, holiday decor, etc. I am sure you will love it.

My list for the day-if I get around to it:
make bed
pick-up
dishes
laundry
take trash out

Not a Manic Monday for me, but not frugal either.

I have a friend who is driving through my town today & they
are stopping for lunch. I bought lots of lunch goodies but it is
worth it! Cheaper to eat here any than out at a restaurant.

Did some quick pick ups around the house this a.m. before I went
to the grocery store.

To do's remainder of the day:

*visiti with my company
*clean up lunch dishes
*pay bills
*dry laundry & fold
*get clothes organized for work week
*attend a brief church meeting tonight

B = toast, orange, water
L = good deli sandwiches on rolls, chips, celery stuffed w/
pineapple cream cheese, brownies
D = baked fish, potatoes, steamed carrots

marcimae-Dollar Tree is dangerous! It's by far the best dollar store we have in NJ, and there are alot of them! Not too manic today, just catching up from the weekend and catching up on my soaps .

So far I have:
Fed and changed Courtney 2 times
Cleaned up porch
2 loads laundry-one put away, one on the line
DD's vacuumed and did some chores
sent out rebate and mystery shop receipts
took stuff back to the camper
called mom to babysit tonight-our friend from California is in for the day, so we are going to dinner with him-always fun to rehash old times-we all grew up together.
cleaned the bathroom til it sparkled
Changed baby's sheets
Spent 1 hour gathering up more consignment stuff to take
decluttered 1 bag of clothes to the goodwill bin

Still need to:
bag up newspapers-do they have babies? We don't even have any subscriptions!
dishes
iron clothes to go out with DH tonight
vacuum porch
change sheets on my bed

That's about it, there's always tomorrow!

Breakfast: Froot Loops and tea
Lunch: Salami and cheese, lunchable fun snack, iced tea
Dinner: Out with DH
