I was going to try to mow the yard, but they are forcasting snow for the weekend so I think I will let the growth stay to help protect the roots. Thank goodness I don't have any seedlings in the ground yet.

Mostly just doing housework today.

I am having leftover homemade mac & cheese for lunch. I was going to make chicken adobo (using Sara's recipe) for dinner, but Dave is working late, and it's his favorite. Sooooo...I'll save that one for tomorrow, and instead we'll have soup & sandwiches. I have sub rolls & cold cuts that need to be eaten anyway.

So far today I have:

gotten the kids off to school
emptied trash barells from all the rooms
taken the trash & recycling to the curb
emptied & loaded the dishwasher
cleaned the living room
folded & put away 1 load of laundry
changed the kitty litter box
and continued with the 2009 fling by decluttering more in my bedroom

I have more general cleaning to do, and then I will rest because I think I am coming down with the cold that everyone else here has had.

**Starlight9803** · 03-25-2009, 12:26 PM

so far today:
* straightened/vacuumed/swept the house
* kids got their schooling done
* breakfast, lunch and cleanup
* washed a load of laundry with 1/2 detergent and hung on shower rod to dry
* morning pet care/cleanup
* got chili started in the crockpot for dinner tonight

It's a gloomy, cloudy, chilly day today (and will be for several more days), so we're going to just hang around the house today, maybe watch a movie or two with the kids, do the evening pet chores, etc
