Morning!

It's a cool day here. Glad to see the hot weather subsiding some. Can keep our a/c turned off longer now. Sure helps that electric bill.

I had a really good night's sleep last night, and am ready to tackle my day. I need to do a lot of housework, and plan to get started after checking in here. Then, it's off to work.

No money will be spent here today. So, that's always a plus.

My list:
make bed
sweep
mop
vacuum
dust
get all packages ready to return
pick up
dishes
make a few phone calls

good morning, my day will be starting soon. i have the wonderful following, laundry, dishes, vac, pick up, appointment this afternoon. get showered and dressed. so much fun right.
then the fun stuff i get to send out the secret pals this afternoon.

**homesteadmamma** · 09-17-2002, 10:26 AM

Well its going to be a crazy day here. No money spent because we spent it yesterday going into the city!! UGH that new van does eat gas.

Today I plan on:

- making bread and butter pickles (cucumbers free)
- making crabapple jelly (crabapples free)
- canning tomatoes (tomatoes free)
- shredding and freezing zucchini (free)

- washing a load of clothes

- homeschooling once the kids are up (we didn't get home until midnight last night)

All the free veggies were given to me yesterday by a very special friend. I so much appreciate them because our garden didn't produce as well as I would have liked this year due to weather.

**frugalchick** · 09-17-2002, 11:19 AM

Good day all.....it is sunny and getting warm here..supposed to be a high of 84 today!

Dh and dks are off to their destinations....I am doing the general housework. Almost done, have began decluttering and reorganizing the kitchen, have 1/2 done and 1/2 to go...I have a huge kitchen.

Need to go get supper going and finish up some more decluttering. I am so ready for fall....and want to get a lot of big projects done before the end of the year.

Hope all of you have a wonderful day!!!

Good morning!

Sunny here today! DD missed the bus so DH just took her to school. She is only 2 so it is our fault, we overslept.

I don't know what we are doing today. I don't have much housework to do since it is mostly done. DH and I usually take the baby and go do something since DD is in school on Tues and Fri.

Have a great day!
