Good morning all,

had a late start to my morning and didn't have enough energy to run this morning

But this afternoon is shaping up to be very busy too. My son has a cub scout meeting just after dinner, and we always study for an hour every night. This afternoon I have some deep cleaning to do and I may just pop in the gym for a quick run on the treadmill. Have a great frugal day.

Good morning everyone - just got out of bed. It is so cold here, unreal. We are about 10 degrees cooler than we normally are at this time.

Today I plan on:

Lol Amanda, why thank you

I already passed out, but I have hardly gotten anything on my list done..being a mom is more tiring than i imagined ..just following her around and keeping her entertained is practically exercise too, in itself

**gensmom** · 09-24-2002, 05:44 PM

Hello All,

Today has been pretty frugal. Just getting ready for the storm to hit. I worked for a little while today, then left to buy batteries and other needed supplies. No other plans today, I hope everyone is doing well.

**mustang80** · 09-24-2002, 05:57 PM

Good evening! Today is DH birthday, so we spent the day doing whatever he wanted. We started at a local flea market, then to the train shop, and out to lunch/dinner at Chili's. Not a frugal day, but he is happy. Got some cake and ice cream for later with the kids.

I didn't get anything done in here today. Came home to a messy house.

Then work called and wanted me to come in tomorrow. Don't they get it that I don't want to work? Needless to say, I didn't call them back. I'm already tired of being the fill in person, and I've only been there a month. I'm not falling into that pattern again.

Hope everyone had a great day. Good luck with Isidore-whoever is battening down the hatches. We haven't had a good hurricane here for a while.

**SouthernJen** · 09-24-2002, 10:02 PM

Good evening everyone!

A late post for me as we are getting ready for Hurricane Isadore.
DH & I had to work today so tonight we've been running around
crazy.

The winds/rain are supposed to pick up tomorrow afternoon &
then after that......it's anyone's guess.

Will not be frugal for us at any rate due to stocking up. Also,
aside from injuries, property damage which we are praying
will not happen, I'm hoping not to lose anything in my freezer
Just stocked it w/ lots of shrimp!

Will check in tomorrow (electricity pending) & give you all an update & see how everyone else is doing.
