Way to go juju! Love the lasagna in the bbq idea!

Well I thought my niece's bday pool party was today, turns out it's next Sunday sooo, I got the day to myself. Oh what project should I tackle?

Going through magazines to recycle? (Tore through 8 of them yesterday) Fixing the finances? (Realized I overpaid a bill, another to pay, filing, budgeting...) Knitting! (Yea got more wool last week!) I have put off grocery shopping and went walking instead... so I know this is necessary to fit in today! I should do some batch cooking afterwards. Which make me think I've still not sorted all of my recipes.

Got a basket full of miscellaneous stuff I'm not sure where to put; filing cabinet to weed out; floors to mop; get rid of winter outside decorations; shed to clean up; sewing? reading? Calgon take me away!!!
Oh well, babysteps.

Karen - Thanks, I will have to learn that teachers voice.

I think it is pure chauvanism personally. Its the 'your at home all day so you dont do anything' and 'its womens work' rubbish. It says more about them then it does me. Anyhow it gives me good motivation to get my education done and dusted.


Today I got a bit of pruneing in the garden done, and the usual dailies.

Iv been resting up watching Crufts (the dog show) on You Tube live stream.

fri night, after i posted, i purged my files and replaced my furnace filter, toothbrush and razor. next i decorated for st pat's day. i read on here for another 2 hrs, took a bath and shaved and ate the salad i had made earlier in the day. i went to bed at 630am sat and slept til 3pm.

sat, i bought cigs, ate breaky, did the dailies, washed sheets and remade the bed, washed/dried an afghan, made and ate a salad and a sandwich and got all c/u on the forum again except mar of the motivation thread (that means i read ALL of feb in the motivation thread). i listened to both sides of a motivational tape and fell asleep during the second.

sun i got up at 2pm and went to bj's. i put away the frig stuff, but was too tired to put away the pantry stuff. just what i did do took an hr, so i'm relaxing on here.

Good progress everyone!

I didn't get much done today apart from cleaning up the kitchen - our daughter had the children from next door in to play, and she was round in their garden in the afternoon. Our neighbours are so lovely, it's a shame they will be moving soon! We've had a great day.

See you tomorrow.

Taking my turn with DD#2 at home while DH and DD#1 are at church. DD#2 we thought was on the upswing, and then had another fever last night with complaints of stomach cramps. Been watching her closely, but she's doing okay. No fever as of now, and has been eating, drinking and using the restroom. Hope this goes away soon for her!

Well, I just heard DH and DD#1 pull in! Cya!

Wendy, hope your DD feels better soon.

Daylight savings time pulled one over on me....had to wake up early for work this morning and I was so confused bc one clock said one time and the other was different. In short, I've been up since 3:30 am (non daylight savings time). Productive day at work, hung out with DS and read books before bedtime, going to hang out with DH now for a few before hitting the sack. He was kind enough to return my library books today so I didn't have to make an extra trip.

after i read on here for an hr, i got the afghan folded and back on the bed. washed/dried/p/a a green sweater, ran/emptied the dw, put away the rest of the groceries and took 7 boxes out to the dumpster, did a normal daily routine, ate oreos for breaky and chili w crackers for lunch and watched 60 min. then (drum roll!!!!), i finished getting all c/u on the forum. <GO ME>

Wow Mary57 I bet your eyes hurt after all that reading welcome back.

Bless - So sorry to hear about your uncle. I am sure your cousin is thankful for all your support.

Purdy - I hope your back is better today (((HUGS)))and yes chauvinism is rife when you stay at home. My DH is not too bad, but my dad and granddad have been known to comment if DH is cooking dinner or doing dishes when they visit. They get a long hard stare for their troubles

Yesterday I was in the garden most of the day. I did some laundry and hung it on the line, cut both lawns, and weeded. Today I am off to school for the whole day. Mondays in school are always busy and the kids seem to need extra encouragement to get anything done, so other than dinner and dishes I do not foresee doing much later.

Bless, sorry about your cousins father!

I had a nice visit with DD Saturday. We went "craft" shopping/looking for the wedding.

My daughter has never done a craft in her life! I really had to laugh that she bought her first glue gun Saturday. And, she is having a DIY wedding, or should I say a DIM (do it Mom) ROFL!

We didn't have time to look at dresses but we did stop for lunch at a great Mexican restaurant.

I made her an accurate floor plan on cardboard and cut out templates for tables. She took it home and played with it until she got the table placement to work. (I have been concerned it was going to be a bit crowded)

Yesterday I didn't do much, played on the computer too long, but I did fax a bunch of papers to the mortgage company and filed a pile of papers.

Think I will vacuum downstairs today and hopefully I will get outside later and get something done in the fresh air. It's been two weeks since I went to the vet, so today may try to walk Finn and see how he does. I'm concerned he is putting on weight.

Morning all. Not a very productive day here, I've spent a lot of time on the internet searching for houses. Not for me, unfortunately! But it will help another family member and I'll have tomorrow to myself (and the rest of the afternoon) to catch up.

We did have a nice weekend though, DD was playing with our neighbours children. She is very shy, so it's good for her to spend time with others.

Have a good one, everyone.
