    Good morning everyone. Well I'm getting ready for another 12 hour work day. I'm taking my lunch as usual. I'm not sure what I will eat when I get home tonight, maybe a bowl of cereal. I can't wait to have the next 2 days off, I have a ton of things to do here at home.
    Hope you have a great day.

    It is supposed to be warm today, but right now it is nice and cool. I am sitting out on the porch having some coffee and planning the day. I have already done the morning routine, and I am going to bike.I am having company this morning for a few hours. Cousin dropping by to talk about a restoration job he bid on.Also expecting the pool company to come clean, and someone is coming to install two more sprinkler heads in the system for my flowers.Then I am going to go out with my sister to our property and ride horses before it gets hot. She moved them to our place and is saving some money now as she does not have to rent property for her animals.Later on I want to clean the garage and the bathroom out there. God only knows how bad it is.Supper, then going for weights.Well, have a good day all.

    It's going to be a beautiful day here today, so no A/C. I brought my lunch to work today and will be having leftovers for dinner. I need to clean out the fridge when I get home and take inventory of what's in there. I need to pull some weeds and get my recycling around for pick up tomorrow.

    Good morning everyone. Today will be cleaning the house, finishing the laundry (the never ending laundry that is), and hopefully finish pricing my items for the yard sale I am having this weekend, and after the sale ads come grocery shopping. Lunch will be chicken patties and onion rings (not healthy, but it is cheap!) and dinner will be either chicken breasts or turkey burgers. Have a great day everyone!

    It's my day off. Thinking of taking the two youngest girls to the company picnic. Other than that, I have to take them to the library. At home I am continuing with cleaning and baby proofing the house as we have about 2 weeks until DD's due date.

    Cloudy and misting rain off and on. Going to WM and the grocery to stock up on sales for freezer.

    Need diabetic supplies at WM. I am running dh out of supplies testing my BS all the time. LOL! My fingers are full of holes! But, I am getting a handle on some of the foods that affect my BS. I can tell which do and don't. I can cut down on testing a lot when I get more 'informed'.

    Good morning, all!

    Well, I am about to head out to the gym with the kiddos. Then I have to change there, because I promised to take them bowling, so that's all the money I should be spending today there.

    I will be stopping by the library for books on the way home and donating some stuff to SA. We also have to stop and get my ds #1's glasses fixed. So glad that none of that will cost me any money.

    When I get back I need to start laundry and that's about it except for dinner.
