    Good morning. I'm feeling well enough to go back to work today,yay.
    I have to stop off at the library on my way home, but that's all FREE.
    Once I get home I have to do a load of clothes, get dinner ready, and put trash out for tomorrow's pick up. I already laid hamburgr out for sloppy Joe's tonight.Hope you all have a great day.

    Good morning everyone! I've gotten my hubby off to work ( I love this shift, I seem to get so much more done)! I fixed us breakfast and packed his lunch. I've taken out a ham bone from the freezer to cook for dinner with brussel sprouts(we love brussel sprouts). Today is the day I clean my bedroom. I'm doing it from top to bottom. I did my bathroom yesterday(all but the shower, which I hope to get to today if I have time). I have a mobile home with two bedrooms, 2 baths a living room and a eat -in kitchen. We turned the second bedroom into a den since we now have an empty nest. Well I figure that I can clean one room a day plus do all my other chores. It seems to be working out ok. I'm flexible, if I don't get to that room that day then it gets caught up the next week. I've been at this housekeeping thing for 38 yrs. and still find that there is always room for improvement. I love the ideas I get on here My hubby took my car to work so I'm in for the day, which is nice because it is pouring outside. I need to take my daughter's dog out for a walk soon(I'm dog sitting). Think I'd better grab the umbrella. Hope you all have a good day!

    Today I go back to the store (closed on Sunday and Monday).

    Before I go into work I am going to mop the kitchen and put away laundry. My oldest is not feeling well AGAIN so she is home. I am hoping she'll feel better later and be able to go to a partial day of school.

    At work today I have to make some more samples of jewelry made out of the different stones and find a new way to display the crystals.

    After I close some guys from my old work are coming to hang my sign for the whopping price of a couple of beers and a Christmas gift project for their kids. ( I LOVE THE BARTER SYSTEM!)

    Good Morning! An early start for me today, was at work by 7:30 a.m. I feed the critters this morning, packed up my breakfast, made some ice tea and brought that to work as well. Will be going home for lunch, leftovers, then back to work til about 6:30. Home, feed the critters again, have a quick supper for myself and change the sheets on my bed and rotate a load of laundry. If I'm still awake after that I want to vacuum a couple of rooms. My dogs are shedding and there is hair everywhere!

    Morning everyone! Today is my leisurely day. I'm spending the morning getting some homework done, exercising, and then it's off to class. Only one today, and it's an easy one!

    After that, it's home again to do more homework, walk the dog, clean the bathroom, do my bible reading, brush the cats (and boy do they both shed! ) and then dinner and bed!

    Today is going to be another slow day for me. I am just don't have the energy. Maybe I will feel better later today.
    Things that must get done today include putting away the laundry I washed yesterday, washing breakfast dishes, and cooking dinner. I also need to go to the post office and mail my Christmas ornaments.
    I would also like to go to the store for a few items and maybe Joann's for some more yarn for a project I am working on.
    I also need to watch the Price is Right for my DH. Apparently someone from our town is on the show and since my Dh is the local newspaper editor, I need to watch and see what happens.
