Tightwad Tuesday

Good morning! It's a beautiful day beginning. The sun is not quite up yet and the crickets are chirping (unfortunately one of them seems to be in my bedroom somewhere-YUCK)

I have to work this afternoon from 1-5:30. DH is working late, so I don't have to worry too much about dinner. Ashlee has band camp again, so FIL is taking her back to school tonight.

I started cleaning/straightening my desk at 10:30 last night. I'm trying to set up the new fax machine, but it won't cooperate. I need to put in our name and number and it won't let me

I found 2 empty ink cartridges to turn in for free paper! I think Office Max and Office Depot do this. I'll keep them in the car until I'm in the neighborhood, then cash in.

Make bed
vacuum
laundry
bathroom touch up
get Ashlee up

Not a morning person

finish desk
take some ebay pics
go to work

DH has ordered me to find the cricket or he is tearing the bedroom apart tonight, lol.

Have a great day!

Not much to do here today, take kids to school, and do 2 small loads of laundry.
Then I am freeee until time to pick them up again!
Hope you all have a fantastic day!

Hello all! I am doing laundry right now. I have also cleaned the living room. I just have to cook supper now. I have no clue what I want so that will have to wait awhile.

Hope you all have a great day!

Today is a yucky day for me. So far, I have called in to work and made a doctor's appt. I have my allergies acting up along with some sinus infection, so it's off to the doctor this afternoon for me. I have been fighting going for awhile but today the dizziness struck so I decided I bettter get some medicine.
Not too much on my list today.
Do laundry.
Put away clothes.
Study.
Clip coupons.
Browse the net.
And that's about it. Hope everyone has a great day.

Hi all,
Well today is the "dentist day" for the boys.

They hate going! We are taking our schoolwork along with us so they can do that while waiting for their turn. As for the rest of the day, we have laundry, the rest of school, sorting and delivery of commodities to our shut-in neighbors, some house cleaning, weed the garden and some reading here for Mom.
Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Well today is Ayla's 2 year appt. (had it postponed from last week)
So in about a half hour I should start giving her a bath and get her all ready to go.

This afternoon I tried taking the cans to Albertsons to be recylced for $$ back. But had a FRUSTRATING time with entry ways being blocked off. After making two u turns and going on streets i'm unfamiliar with, I realized the place I needed to go was COMPLETELY blocked off! what a waste of gas!

This morning I did a short workout. 5 minutes jogging 5 minutes crunches and 5 minutes jumproping. Probably about 2 minutes stretching as well.

I just spent quite some time with ayla on the potty. I read her her potty book, ran water and tried everything I could think of to get her to pee. At least it's a start that she actually WANTED to sit there that long!

I've got dishes to do, a load of laundry and some handwashing...oh and a trip to Ralphs!

Tuesday is almost over, but I figured I'd go ahead and post.

Audrey was up at 5:30am UGH! So her Daddy gave her her morning bottle, then she and I slept until about 8am.

Got up and dressed, paid some bills and went with my sister to get the keys to her new house. She moves this weekend. Then we grabbed some lunch and came home.

DD and I took a nap from about 2:00 until 4:30...it felt great!

I am dreaming of the day when she sleeps through the night. She is only 13 days old...so that day may be far off!

Tonight DH went with DD and I to the grocery store. I was afraid to take her by myself for the first time. I have never had to put an infant seat on a shopping cart before. Everyday is a learning experience for me.
