No need to plan supper tonight because we'll be eating junk at the fair!

Goal for today: figure out a pattern to make a homemade swiffer duster substitute

I paid some bills online, washed dishes, and ran a load of laundry this AM before I got ready for work. DH will pay the phone bill today and I will be back to priming and painting this evening.

I have to work this afternoon and evening so this morning I need to pickup the house and pay bills.

Started a load of laundry this morning before work. Hope dh will hang it to dry.
Brought lunch to work.
Arranged ultrasound appt for unborn baby.
Scored stair gate at work. They're collecting stuff for charity this month, and I will move to a house with stairs soon.

DH and kids are out the door and at school/work for the day.

Getting ready to take a nap for an hour or two.

Work on getting the garbage disposal unstopped. In a moment of shear genius, I put carrot peelings down it. Much like spaghetti noodles, they don't really chop up in a disposal. Instead they kind if just go into the pipes and stop it up. This is especially true when you shove massive amounts in there.

DD is volunteering at Broadway Under the Stars tonight and the youth volleyball team she volunteer coaches for has practice. I'll probably just take her to both and pick her up instead of having her out late driving alone after everything is over.

The house could use a pick me up, but I am not promising it will get done.

Need to run by the bank and post office at some point this week.

Today is some more painting. We have a "Meet the Teacher" night to go to at 7, so I'll have to make dinner at 5. A few loads of laundry will go in throughout the day and hopefully, we'll have enough painting left over to fill up the rest of the weekend. Today's main objective is to get the trim work painted throughout the house. The closet doors will be done on Saturday.

**Nana2two** · 09-16-2010, 11:00 AM

Lets see today I will sweep and mop. Bake some cookies. Start dinner. Hubby will get the grandsons. Get sheets changed.So a little bit of everything.

**MyMelody** · 09-16-2010, 01:19 PM

I probably won't get as much painting done today as I'd thought, because I just realized that this will be a late work day. Boo.

We bought a new Mule today, it's a 4010,and will be a little better for the farm. Kept the old 600 for around the house stuff, it's old, but it gets the job done.!!!Have also been drying apples that I picked.Canned some tomato sauce.Getting ready to have someone come and price the cost of a pond- trading services.Later going to childrens swim with the grandkids. Hope you all have a great day!

Ran to the bread store and dollar tree, started up my photography webpage on facebook, and picked up son from Kindergarten. Trying to get enough rest today to not let this cold get the best of me.
