Hey ladies,
First, I've missed you all, but we have been So so busy at the property that I haven't had time to even post.

We've been busy but the phone has finally slowed down a little to make a post. I've done a load of laundry, homework for DD #3 and DD #4 has the day off (she's 5) although we will work on finishing the clean out the dresser drawers tonight.

I've completed 2 declutter bags of kids clothes this weeked and will take them to the consignment shop tomorrow.

I'm also picking up my "new" car from my mom and dad tomorrow. I'm so excited.

I mailed my son's birthday card (hand stamped by me) today.

We are selling the king size bed and hope to get back what I paid for a new twin pillow top.

I've got to finish up my laundry and then finish drinking all my water...tonight is weigh in time at Weight watcher's.

I hope you all have a wonderful day. It is sunny and warm--it will be 84 before the day is over and I love being warm and sunny. Yippee.

Good afternoon! It was a mostly cloudy, chilly day.
I did manage to accomplish 3 loads of laundry, all towels & whites.
I also did the following:
Disinfect doorknobs & lightswitches
Dust
Plan next weeks menu
Thoroughly wipe all counters
Wash towels & whites
Windex tv, computer screens & mirrors
Wipe all baseboards
Wipe all cabinet fronts
Wipe down all tables
Wipe all windowsills
Make cupcakes for banquet

Plus, I did my morning & afternoon routines.
I still need to do:
make cocoa mix
make baking mix
make apple crisp

I dont' know if I'll get to those three things though, as my daughter and I have a fall sports awards banquet at 5:30 this evening. She plays volleyball.
My meals for today are:
Breakfast: pancakes w/cherry filling topping & whip cream, hot chocolate and water
Lunch: egg salad sandwich
Dinner: The boys are having pork roast, potatoes, carrots, cornbread & apple crisp, if I make it before we leave. LOL

It's been another BUSY day for me. I got out of the house as soon as dh left for work. First I hit the commissary, got me a 39c/lb turkey

and a couple of other things. Then I hit the PX, they had their Halloween stuff 90% off. I got [ame="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000F6RWXC/nextag-lawngarden-20/ref=nosim"]this Halloween Globe[/ame] that was regular $79.99 at the PX for $7.90!!! I also got oldest ds a hooded black robe for his costume next year (Grim Reaper) for $1.29, it was regular $12.99!! SCORE!

After the PX, I went to the credit union for dh then did some Christmas shopping. I got dd's big gift (speakers for her iPod) and DVDs for all the kids. Christmas shopping is about 65% done already!

Then I met some friends for lunch and was given an air conditioner FREE from a friend moving to Kentucky (where she will have central air). Woot!

It was an all-around good day. Except now I'm REALLY behind on the laundry

Today was a really good day around here! DS slept a LOT last night (from about 5pm to 5:30am with only three brief periods of being awake and eating) so I thought he'd be up and cranky all day today, but I was wrong! He was so sweet and pleasant and fussed a lot less than normal. Woo-hoo!

Today we went out and voted, went to the bank, and went to the post office. Its funny - I almost stopped at Dunkin Doughnuts and got a coffee, and for the first time the little voice in my head didn't say "you should save your money" - it said "think of all the clothes you can't fit into" - needless to say, I didn't get the coffee!

I also tried making a new soup recipe for vegetable soup. I ended up adding some chicken because I had half a chicken breast and subbed a few of the veggies, but it smells great!

My plan for the rest of the day is to get ready for tomorrow. I'm going to drop DS off at my aunt's for his first real "baby-sitting" adventure, and then I have a dentist appt and want to drop some things off at the local food panty.

Today I did three loads of laundry, went to vote, stopped at the grocery store for milk and orange juice, after lunch I took dd to a local Park and Recreation center for their "homeschool playtime". Several members of our homeschool group meet there on Tuesdays from 1:00-2:30pm. The kids play in the gym, or in the game room, with pool, ping pong, foosball, and air hockey. Then we picked up DH at work, and he came home to shower and change and leave for his two classes at the community college. After he left, dd and I played a game of Scrabble, and had some soup for dinner. Then I listened to dd playing her lap harp.
