I slept my usual # of hrs last night but am still feeling beat

Got to go to a training for work in the next town over, and then hopefully my coworker will come by the house to look @ the areas I want to tile and lay laminate flooring over (she's volunteered to help me). I need to check the kitty litter, cat food, and dog food amounts I have left to determine whether a trip to the store is absolutely necessary (hate Wal-Mart), because I'll sure avoid that if I can.

MyMelody, sounds like you have a full day ahead of you!

As for me, I, too, must have been beat because I slept for 11 hours last night. HUH?!?! Haven't accomplished anything except to drink 3 cups of coffee and order birthday presents for my niece's 1st birthday next month. Going back and forth on some boots for my youngest dd. Don't know if I can justify it, even though she would look SO cute in them!

Today I need to do laundry, mop the floors, clean one bathroom, pick more rocks out of my yard where we are trying to grow grass, and get started on my Christmas list. That should be enlightening!

If the weather clears up, I may take the kids to the pool this afternoon.

Have a great day!

~Today is my Desk Day and I had a ton of stuff piled up. I got a jump start last night and cleaned out the coupon/flier box and made the menu.
Today I've paid the bills, recorded receipts and online purchases, checked my three email accounts, ordered reward cards, transferred money between savings accounts, and drafted 5 blog posts.
The last thing for today will be finishing thank you notes. If I have any motivation left I'll get the printer hooked up to our new computer and get my pregnancy journal pages printed out.
Hope everyone is having a productive day!~

The training ran an extra hour and I got home later than expected, so here I am. DH is 3 hrs away with his folks and his dad just had a hip replacement, so he won't be home til tomorrow. Just me, the puppy, and the cats tonight. I sorted some laundry and loaded the dishwasher, and I think I can make it w/o a trip to the dreaded store. No word from my coworker re: the floors, though. Hmm.

Went to the grocery store with my NEW coupon binder! Why didn't I do this YEARS ago???? I saved $28.00

Swimming for about an hour because it's so hot out.
