Tightwad Tuesday

**mustang80** · 09-30-2003, 07:14 AM

Good morning! A beautiful crisp fall morning! I am loving it!

Today is a great day for baking. I think I'll take a ride down to the farmer's market and pickup a basket of apples. I need to go to Big Lots to stock up on more canning jars, too.

I'd like to put up some applesauce, as well as some bread, pie, etc. The kiddies also need snacks to eat after school.

I've got my first load of laundry in the washer already so I can hang it out.

Raechel skipped out on dishes last night, so I have them to do

I'll get her back today--I'm so evil, lol. The kitchen is a mess. I'll have to give it a good cleaning before I can do anything.

Rest of the day:
make beds
tidy up
dust
laundry
change bathroom towels
swish and swipe bathroom
kitchen

I better get moving! Busy day ahead.

Dont feel like doing anything, didnt sleep well, but I have 2 shops scheduled, both are out of my city, oh well at least 1 of them is filling my tank for me

Think I am going to pick up a deli chicken and make some Liptons Noodles and sauce for diiner, that will be nice and easy and frugal. I have 2.00 coupon on the chicken and a 4.00 refund.

Good morning!

Got up showered, dressed and ready as if I was going to work. I thought I'd do a test-run before I actually go back next week. Luckily I will only have to work 3 days a week. That way I get 4 full days home with DD!

Yesterday I ran a bunch of errands. I already did my daily chores for today so the rest of the day is for whatever I want!

Dinner will be steak and veggies (all from freezer)

Hope you all have a great day!

You all put me to shame!

Here it is a little after 10 a.m. and I am still in my jammies with my cozy house slippers on and have yet to take a shower!

It's a bit chilly this morning and I just wanted to stay warm.

So far this morning I have cuddled up on the couch and done my devotions and some reading, played with the kittens and older cats and told the boys that they would be continuing their assigned chores for another month until they learned to do them with a spirit of excellence and no griping!

The kids are all doing thier school work and I'll go over lines for a play with them later. They put of studying their lines until today and they have to have at least some of them memorized before rehersals tomorrow or the director (me) might have a bit of a fit.

Laundry is done and hanging on the line already. I still need to figure something out for dinner, clean our room, sort through even more "junk" and throw lots out! I also need to email my mom and brother today.

Yes, it is another day of housework for me as well. It seems like a lot of people are doing laundry today. I am half way done now.

I haven't had my car for days as dh needs it for work. His broke down.

I can't wait to get out of this house!!!!!

Madison's baptism is in a couple of weeks so I have been trying to get a lot of extra cleaning done. I've pulled all the weeds, planted winter pansies, wiped down the area around the front of the house and wipe down the porch in the back. It made me very sad that dh couldn't even say one nice thing about all the work I've done.

It's a beautiful day here today. I stayed home from work today and then an hour after school started the nurse called and had me come get Chris cause he was sick as well.

All I am doing today is resting and doing some laundry.

Need to feel better so I can go back to work tomorrow.
