Hi Ladies!

Have a great day ladies!

PS: Whats the ONE thing you wish you could do today instead of your chores?

So I need to:
Check first aid kit and restock
Prepare the cats weekend survival needs (ie extra food, water, toys and cleaned out boxes)
Prepare snacks for the road so we dont have to stop to eat
Lock all gates with chains
Set up timers on lights
Pack the cooler
Finish packing the car (cooler, clothing,water,propane is all thats left.)
Pick up ice when i drive to the mailbox
Check all locks, lights and appliances before we go
Hit the road before 3pm

I get to scrub the kitchen floor and bleach the counters.... again! I hate ants! Vaccuum and laundry is on my schedule today (washing, hanging and sorting what I don't need anymore. I have some errands to run and I want to investigate Aldi's.

What would I do instead of cleaning and chores? practice and learn a new skill

Morning All!

I think it's going to be a "me" day today

Yesterday was a non-stop one. I ran 10 million errands and cleaned the house like a maniac...LOL! Today I think I'll do a couple of loads of laundry and later on give myself a much needed mani & pedi. I may even catch up on some magazines.

Have a great day ladies!

Not much going on here today.
I have laundry going.
Need to clip and organize coupons.
Work on June budget.
Get my college application mailed out, plan on starting with some night classes at the community college this fall.

If I didn't have to do any of the above today and my older 3 kids weren't at school I would love to spend the day at the beach.

The rest of the day is for me.

~I need to make a run to the post office. The insurance company sent us the check to cover our new roof (it is only a few years old but got totally beat up in a hail storm). I have to overnight the check to the mortgage company so they can do their endorsement and send it back to me.

~Go to my mom's office and deposit her paycheck for her.

~Fold and hang up some laundry (did not do it yesterday).

~Go to Wal-Mart for a few odds and ends.

~Go to A. C. Moore for some scrapbook stuff and a shadow box.

~Take DD and DS to library to get a book or two.

~Take DS to batting practice.

~Cook some dinner. (Actually it is DS's night to cook, so I will oversee the process.)

~Finally, I am going to watch the new pirate show (Pirate Master) that comes on tonight. Cannot decide if I am going to like it or not from just the previews.

If I was not doing all of my stuff today what would I like to be doin? Scrapbooking my little heart away. I have four books in progress right now and have about four more I need to start. Never enough time though.

Good afternoon ladies. Not a lot going on around here today. I am sleepy and just don't feel like doing too much. Plus DH was home all morning and I just can't seem to get much done when he's home.
I have managed to get a few things done today:
~Got everyone up and out the door.
~Signed DS#1's new cell phone up for the chaperone service.
~Vacuumed.
~Swept and mopped the dining room floor.
~Cleaned the kitchen. Swept, put dishes away, cleaned counters, ect.
~Did one load of laundry.
I still need to:
~Get another load of laundry going.
~Pick up DS#2 from school.
~Sweep up from DS#3's lunch. Doesn't matter what I give the kid, seems most of it always ends up on the floor.
~Pay bills.
~Wipe down the boys bathroom.
~Gather trash for boys to cart out the can.
~Grill dinner out and clean up from that.
I hope everyone is having a great day! Have fun.

Today has been exhausting! Something happened to the boys computer and I can't get it to boot up to windows. I ordered a CD online that said it will repair the boot up to windows. Umm, I guess time will tell. I told them they aren't getting on my new one, but they could use the old one; all three have internet acces. It is actually DS#1's computer and he away at Camp Pendleton right now, so hopefully I can get it fixed before he comes home. LOL!

I had to get my car inspected today since today was the last day of the month.

I have been busy today listing items on eBay. I hope something sells.

I have a workshop I have to attend tomorrow. I hope it isn't long and boring.
