Good morning!!:coffee3:

It's mine and the kids' 1st day back to reality after a much needed long Christmas break. Sigh, it's gonna be a rough one this morning.
My girls love school, but my son HATES HATES HATES it. Hoping I can find my inner cheery morning person and get him out the door in one piece!!

So, work for me today. I need to run some errands on my lunch break, but I'm unsure of what to get first, so I will have to ponder that. After school, dd2 has girl scouts, but other than that, no activities.

Tonight I need to finish up ds' birthday invitations to hand out tomorrow at school for his party on Saturday. I thought I would get them done yesterday, but I ran out of time.

Have a great day, everyone!

First day back to school here too... we almost didn't make it!

7:48 - roll over, look at clock and start the panic dance
8:20 - we arrive at the school, 9 miles away... Diva is fully dressed, with clean teeth, brushed hair, fed, and lunch packed.

I'm still not sure how we did it - but I'm glad we did!

When I finally got home, I crawled to the coffee pot, nothing big to do today. working on a scarf for a friend, wrote another blog entry, and knitting more until it's time to pick Diva up from school.

Dinner will be pasta, meatballs and garlic bread - All over easy day

Went to hairdresser then the thriftstore. Was able to find 3 purses for a total of $10. One is a portolano leather purse. Really happy about the finds.

Worked half a day today, went to bank and paid an extra $116.50 on my car loan, deposited $25 into my savings, and probably put too much into my checking that could have gone on the car or into my EF, but will figure that out later and move it if necessary.

Working on a budget, picked up coin wraps from bank to start wrapping last years coin jar, listed knitting books in For Sale forum.

Rest of the day will be housecleaning, getting some clothes out for the consignment shop, and ordering my credit reports to make sure they are in order.
