Thrifty Thursday- Feb. 25th

Good morning! I didn't see this started, so thought I would give it a whirl this morning!

Well, as exhausted as I have been feeling, unfortunately my day will not be too forgiving! After I get the kids to school, it's off to work I go. I'm working through my lunch break so that I can leave early to pick up the kids and take the oldest to a dr. appointment for a physical. THEN, it's off to a board meeting for my local library. BUSY BUSY! Did I mention my house is in shambles? It's amazing what DOESN'T get cleaned when you're never home yet other members of your family are!

After I get home tonight I still need to make cupcakes for dd's kindergarten class. It's her special snack day tomorrow, and we decided on the theme of "Pinkalicious" after her favorite book!

Gonna need more coffee! Have a great and productive day, everyone!

Finished laundry this morning so I need to put it away. One set of stairs has been vac'd but I need to get the other set. The second floor bathroom and computer room are my other targets for the day. I hope to get seeds started this afternoon. Shouldn't be a problem. DS1 is taking the car to go to orientation at his new job so the rest of the kids won't be asking for a ride any place. Dinner will be split pea soup.

I've got some laundry going, and I plan on going through ds2's closet to fill a bag with outgrown clothes to pass on to my nephew (I did the dresser last week).

I also have decided to go through my own dresser today to see if there are any clothes I can donate. I think I need to cull my t-shirts.

I'm also working on the clues for dd's mystery birthday party today. Exciting!

Lost my original post to the cyber-space.
Anyway, today, I changed our homeowner's insurance to another company, with an updated & better coverage (3x liability & 2x replacement coverage), the cost is still $60 less per year. I need to cancel the other one we have.
Work at my part-time job.
Cook dinner after work.
Prepare a stockpile & shopping list for our trip to Costco tomorrow.
Watch some olympic.

Today I went to work.

Just got home about 30 minutes ago. Am having some me unwind time before I do my thing. On the agenda for tonight will be to tidy up the kitchen and living room. Sweep and mop the floors. Finish a load of laundry. Fix myself something to eat. My boyfriend has started working overnights so our meal times are all messed up.

Might watch a little tv. Make my lunch for tomorrow and thats about it!!

This morning I woke up grumpy after a restless night and general pms.
Dropped last of paperwork off to Mortgage broker so she could make copies. Called inspector to make sure he will do wind mitigation as well as inspection-he will! So, that will save me money on my insurance.
Tried to find pants for ds, nobody has them on sale anymore. Apparenly I missed out on the mark-downs.

I made a small pot of beans with my new mini-crock that I got with the birthday money from my mom!!
Called the Sheriff's department and complained about loud and illegal activity with vehicles in sand pit ALL hours of the day and night.
Called about birth certificate. Apparently will have to call back again on Monday. Called real-estate agent to find out if bathroom was repaired in house I am buying. I was assured it will be even prettier than before.
