Happy Fall!

Bake something (any ideas?)

Taking Tyler's baby clothes to Once Upon A Child to see what they will give me for them... then use the money to go to Savers and buy him winter clothes.

Good Morning! Today is my day off, and I slept in (o, it felt so good).

I don't have a lot of housework to get done, so I am going to live on the

today.

Today is not going to be frugal, as I hoped. My washer has died, and there is no helping it.

So, I have to go buy another one.
This really is an unexpected expense.

My list:
make bed
vacuum
sweep
pick up
dishes
put laundry away

I am just getting around to posting this reply. I slept in til 10:30 b/c our neighbor came over at 10:30 last night and asked to borrow some money for gas since he spent all their savings bailing his wife out of jail

Seems that she went ballistic on him and came at him with a knife so he called the cops. I've met her several times and she doesn't seem like the type to be capable of that but who knows....so the reason I was up late was because I offered to watch their son, he's 2, so he wouldn't have to go to the jail with his dad. He took me up on it and I had him until almost 2:00. He didn't go to sleep til about 1:00! Poor little thing. Probably wondered what the heck was going on. Anyway, here is my short list for today.

Vacuum *done
Ralph's trip *done
Give Cole a bath *done
Cut UPC's off Colorific boxes
Make copy of receipt
Give dd a bath (tonight before bed)
Put up dd's new wall border from Target
Paint dd's table (maybe)
Fix dinner

DH went back to work today after 2 wks of leave. He works 2-10pm so I will need to get back into the swing of being alone til 10pm.

Have a great first day of fall! Can't wait for the cool weather, sweaters, and orange leaves!
