Saving Saturday, Feb. 20th, 2010

Up early, aren't I?

For me, this is early anymore.

Having coffee and trying to wake up, going to sweep/mop all of the bare floors, vac rugs, tidy up a bit. DH has some guys coming over to talk biz.

Before that, bring in some wood. It is 12 degrees out there. Not looking forward to that.

Wipe down the bathroom. Fold some laundry.

Easy dinner tonight--one of those WM pizzas.

Knit.

I'm still pretty down for the count, however, dh, my Mom and my father-in-law are running the kids around today.

Monkey in the Middle has his final basketball game and party at 11:45. Baby Monkey has a birthday party at 1:00, and Monkey Girl has a sewing class for Girl Scouts at 12:30. Busy day, but a good day for me to chill and recover.

However, as i'm not so good with the sitting still, I'm having dh empty Baby Monkey's drawers into laundry baskets, so I can wean out the clothes that he has outgrown and pass them along to my friend who has twin boys.

Today's grocery shopping day, but I made my list last night. I'm up early also, due to DS6 having some horrible cough. I have some paper sorting to do, along with finding all of our tax information. I also need to pay bills today.

Good morning ladies. It's a beautiful sunny day here. I'm enjoying my 2 cups of coffee while DH gets some sleep, not sure what time he got home from work, then we have to go grocery shopping this afternoon. I finished my shopping list and got my coupons ready. I have 2 roasts laid out thawing that I will put in the CP while we are out. I'll use it tomorrow for Italian beef. My mold tech at work bought my lunch last week as long as I made him some Italian beef so there ya have it. I have no clue what we will do after groceries are put away. I have some clothes I could wash but we shall see.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Good Morning everyone! I will take my time doing laundry, vacuuming, dusting, mopping floors, (you know general cleaning), hemming my sister's curtains, crocheting, and watching Olympic Hockey!

Have a great day!

Yay, it's finally the weekend! Not that my youngest dd would realize that, though! She was up like it was a school morning, ugh. Oh well, it's still quiet around here, so I'm enjoying watching the snow come down with some coffee this morning! It is SO peaceful out here!

Today is up in the air! We may drive over to the lake today and look at property that the in-laws may be interested in. Yay, lake house!

Tonight we are invited over to our friends' house, so we'll see if I can clean or do some laundry before we depart for the evening! I have a feeling it will be a lazy day, though!

Have a great day!

Well my plans for tonight has been canceled which is okay.

This morning i have already run to goodwill and SA looking for a basket for a baby gift. I didn't find anything that i liked or wanted to pay for. Then stopped to get gas. Not sure what the rest of my day holds.
I have laundry to fold
unload my dishwasher
dishes to wash
laundry to do
or i could just read my book.

I working double shift today so my schedule is straightforward. Get up, go to work, go home, go to bed.

I left home early enough to pick up MacD breakfast, put gas in the car and buy a 20 oz diet coke, which today is medicinal. I got to sleep sometime around 3:30 am and up at 7, and I'm here at the desk until 11 pm tonight. I NEED all that caffeine today!

I have very little actual work I need to do, and the library has been dead on weekends, so I'll probably be on FV off and on for the next 13 hours. Keep those posts rolling in! Please!

Today DH and I are going out to celebrate a belated Valentine's Day (we were BOTH busy with school last weekend). We heard of this new raw foods restaurant in a nearby city where they only make meals with raw ingredients....should be all organic, healthy, vibrant, full of beneficial enzymes, and delicious! Across the street there is a great little second hand store that we want to visit, so it will be a day of relaxation and fun.

Have a good day, all!!!

Slept in today until 8:00 am. Finally took a walk around the neighborhood. Looked around family dollar. Need to go pay a bill. Then sweep and mop the floors. Finish a knitting project. Catch some of the olympics.

Got up, made a batch of sour dough pancakes - ate some - froze some, juiced some pineapples, oranges and apples. In the process of cooking down all the accumulated apples wastes, fresh and frozen, into applesauce. Sh(w)oveled some snow to make room for more. Goofed off a lot.

Got everyone up and showered, had breakfast, lunch, worked on our budget a bit (trying to preplan some expenses that normally get forgotten about until they are due such as kids swimming lessons), heading out to a friends this afternoon to visit, have porkchops out thawing for dinner. Such an exciting day here!

**Vanilla** · 02-20-2010, 03:43 PM

Work half-day at the part-time job.
Cashing in the 2 jars of coin, not sure how much there is, I'll let you know tomorrow.
Then go with DH to buy some compost & dirt for the veg planters. Also, buy 3-4 tomato plants, some salad mix seeds, etc. I am so excited about this.
We're going to have porkchops for dinner also.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

Got up at 5:30 AM - we are having a small yard sale. I made about $30 and had a great time chatting with folks and getting rid of goodies. The leftovers are going to the rummage sale at the Catholic Church.

Just grabbed some hummus and celery sticks because I was starving!! As soon as the birthday party at the pool thins down, I am going over to do my 30 minutes of exercising.

Now I need to tackle the kitchen - only a minor disaster but still!!

Dear friend from Montana called during the yard sale so we had chance to catch up!!

Know there will be a nap in there some place - not too busy a weekend, but relaxing fun around the house.

Not meaning to brag - but the weather is perfect today and I am hoping tomorrow too!!
