Good morning or should I say almost afternoon? I have today off and finally have some time to relax. I've been busy getting everything changed over to my married name. I'm not planning much today as hubby is working nights and is sleeping at the moment. I have some clothes to fold and some papers to sort and pitch. I haven't even thought of what to fix for dinner.

I really need to sit down and figure up my info for my siggy since I haven't posted in a few days. I'm really behind but tomorrow is a new month and I think I will just wait on some things and start over.
What's everyone else doing today?

Hi Cat! I remember getting everything changed over to my married name, but that was over 20 years ago!!! Come to think of it, it's amazing I even REMEMBER that! LOL!!!

I don't have a signature line yet. I'm not really sure how to do it, or what it's about, but I enjoy reading everyone else's! :-)

Today is one of my crazy days. I have a lot of taxiing to do to pick up my daughter, and husband and son later on. Dinner unfortunately tonight is most likely going to be Micky D's. :-\ But it's been quite awhile since we've done that, so that's progress!!!! Yay!!!

I want to work on budget...frugal planning...and school planning for next year (we homeschool). I also need to do dishes and some laundry. yuck! I'm so tired today, I probably could use a nap before I do all that driving! Maybe it's the gloominess.

Have a great day all!!!!

Today should be a fairly relaxed day, which is good because my allergies are acting up and leaving me with bronchitis like symptoms.
So here is what is on tap for Today:
~ Work for about 4 hours this afternoon
~ We are going out for pizza this evening because proceeds going the our churches youth mission trip
~the bathrooms need to be cleaned
~Wash the whites and put them away
~Read, study, or craft this evening

So all in all not a bad day.

So far I've done laundry and folded all but one load, unloaded dishwasher and put away, washed breakfast dishes, made lunch and washed dishes, wiped down kitchen counters, exercised and made the bed. I still need to clean screen porch, water plants, sweep front entrance, fold last load of laundry, put away folded clothes and pick up the family room and living room.

Did 2 loads of laundry (raining like CRAZY, so no line today!). I have been sewing all day it seems like. I made a curtain for my dd's reading area. I am currently taking a break from it as it has been frustrating me. I made 4 reusable swiffer wet rags; sadly, the highlight of my day! Getting something ready for dinner and hopefully going for a walk.

ok so i am so taking a break. i am sweating like mad broke down and put ac on. besides what i posted earlier i decided to do the cupboards. well i did i tossed so much outdated stuff. shamed to admit but yes with the move i guess i just didnt bother to go threw it all. anyway everything is up to date and rotated now. so doing the tops made me wanna do the bottoms. i rearanged it all! all my empty coffee cans and ice cream pales are nice and neat and with in reach everything is easy to get to and orderly. so from there i did the doors under my hutch organized and condensed all my lil plastic zip baggies.made a list of the ones i needed from there cleaned my lil metal shelf thingie its all nice n neat.scrubbed the outside of my fridge and rearanged the magnits to add the new ones we got this week.and make room for new art work.cleaned the inside of the fridge too.worked my way to all counter tops and the dreaded oven. all spotless. everything is in its place and i have a few more things id like to do today if my back holds out. the rain stopped so i hope i can still get my walk on the beach in!!! ok wow phew im tired lol but proud.

DH is in San Francisco on business this week, so I'm playing single mom. So far work has been going ok, and I managed to get some grocery shopping in at lunch as well as picking up some cat litter. Got a wicked good deal on marked down butter. I might make some banana muffins tonight for breakfast tomorrow, and if the weather holds up we'll go to the playground tonight.
