Tightwad Tuesday

**mustang80** · 10-15-2002, 08:53 AM

Good morning! I'm officially back in here-DH FINALLY WENT BACK TO WORK! I told him I didn't want to see him until 4 p.m. today. He is obsessed with his illness and takes every opportunity to bring it up with me and obsess over it. It's a SINUS INFECTION FOR GOODNESS SAKES! Try having a baby, dude! UGH! MEN!

Wow, I feel better now.

Today I am playing catchup to everyone being home, sick, whatever. I need to go to Shoprite for my weekly coupon run. Right now I am savoring the peace and quiet.

So Far:
2 loads laundry
fed & changed Courtney
made bed
found mouse droppings in the kitchen

To Do:
Finalize list and go to Shoprite
mail ebay stuff
balance checkbook
pay bills
general pickup
sanitize kitchen and put out glue boards

I would dust, but DH has so much JUNK laying around, I refuse. He takes every flat surface and piles his junk on it. Top of the entertainment center, top of the fridge, computer desk, etc. Can you tell I have DH issues? He has been home for 5 days and driving me nuts. He keeps pestering me about dusting. I about lost it. I can't (and will not) dust around his junk.

Pray for me today

What a beautiful {cold} day today

I have so far been able to get all my laundry caught up
study
put my empty boxes in the shed
got the garbage out
got my recycle bins in the kitchen
got my bathroom all decorated
got a new bedframe
put my bed together {been sleeping on couch since I moved}
got a great idea for using my bedroom closet as a "pantry" since it is the only place I have to hold my stockpile {which I don't have yet}It is a real tiny closet that can't hold even 1/2 my clothes & it has 2 shelves in it.
got my office put together
got some trades mailed
I am going to do some more decorating and then I will have all that completed

Hope everyone has a great day!

It is a great fall day here. Windy and cool. I am late posting since I had a meeting with Madison's Regional Case Worker this morning. My friend is going to be staying with me for the rest of the week until Friday too. Her dh left on the boat today (both our dh's are Navy) and she doesn't like to stay alone so I offered to let her stay in my guest room. We are getting to be good friends. I like to help people out when they need and I hope that people will do the same for me in my time of need.

Also, PSD (military personnel dept) was supposed to start an allotment for one of our car payments and instead of sending the amount of the allotment to the finance companies bank they changed it to a direct depost and sent the whole amount of DH's paycheck! Ok.....I am a SAHM and this is our only income! We have automatic payments coming out like cable and insurance that are going to bounce because of the Navy's mistake. THey always mess everything up. They wonder why we aren't re-enlisting! Geez! I had to call the bank this morning and get it all straightened out and sure enough they have our paycheck and were getting ready to apply it to our car loan! They are Western Unioning it to us and I have to pick it up. They are charging us $13 though. It was going to be $30 but they decided to give us the rate it would cost the bank instead. What a mess!

left to do:
-Go to Western Union

-go to bank and deposit check and open new account for just ME (no DH!!!!!!!!!!!!)

-make lunch

-get Madison off bus at 1:30

-Check deals at Target

-Hang out with my friend
