It's 30º here this morning. I slept horrible last night so I don't see myself getting anything done until DH comes home to help me. His brother is staying with us this weekend (Dh got an Xbox 360 and they are going to "break it in"

) so I told him he helps me clean since it is HIS brother.

But yeah things I should do today.

* put away laundry
* empty dishwasher
* pick up living room
* help DS clean up playroom.
* sweep bathroom

Let's just see how much actually gets done.

Need to straighten house up
Clean more cupboards or drawers
Taking the kids to town after school, 1 to fix glasses another to practice archery.

homemade pizza tonight.

**tigo** · 02-08-2007, 10:40 AM

Still chilly here. Traffic was all snarked up because of the chemical fire down town (Kansas City) so I went a back way in to work. Took a little longer but the frustration level was so much less than dealing with the other option. Both kids are at home with the flu. Seems it is making the rounds at school.
Tonight I need to:
-iron dress clothes that dried last night
-wash and hang a load of dark clothes
-stop by the store for flu meds and ironing board cover
-get a jump start on the reading assignment for class
-wipe down all the surfaces the kids have been touching
- make dinner- spaghetti
Tomorrow it payday so I wrote out checks this morning and will get them in the mail at lunch time.

**watchingpennies** · 02-08-2007, 10:45 AM

Home sick from work today. Going to putter about. Will look at the budget and try to plan some meals for next week since we will be away this weekend. May do a load or two of laundry if I have the energy.
