I plan to make and freeze bread dough to be used as cinnamon/caramel rolls on the weekends as my frugal Tuesday activity. I just keep my breadmaker going on the dough only cycle all day. Have already frozen dinner roll dough thae we use 2 at a time when the meal calls for it and for Easter dinner at our house. That is my goal for the day among the regular activities. Have a great day!!

I feel out of sorts....I think because it's Tuesday and we have nothing to do with Odyssey. For the last six months, Tuesdays have been Odyssey days. Not anymore

I got up early this morning (early for me, anyways) and had an hour of quiet knitting before the boys got up for the day. I've already:
~had coffee/breakfast
~fed the boys
~knit

Still need to:
~finish my grocery list/menu
~call my friend to make sure she can watch the boys for me for the animals vet appt (no kids under 12 allowed in the vets office).
~vacuum downstairs
~finish up laundry (just towels to fold)
~pick up the downstairs
~figure out what to make for dinner
~pick up dds from school
~make dinner
~watch TBL (as soon as the prez gets off my tv)

Overcast and warm here. I have already finished the workout(Smithy still has the buns stinging) and completed the pet chores and linens. I am going to work on cleaning the library and the office today while the painters are here.This afternoon I have a couple of hours duty at the church clothes closet. I am taking the girls to ballet after school and picking them up. Just me around here this evening so I am going to head to the gym to swim and do weights. Hope you have a nice day!
