Hello.....YEAH,,it is FRIDAY!!  I am so happy to have the weekend to do some things around the house.   I am finishing up my cleaning in the living room this weekend.  I already decluttered the entertainment center.   I really don't like to have knick knacks much so I got rid of a few more.   Now everything left is meaningful to me. 

Josh will only be gone for Saturday with my ex.  He will be coming home on Saturday night.  I really do have alot of errands to run this weekend, but my SIL's invited me to go to the movie on Sunday afternoon with them.   I hope to get alot done on Saturday so I can go.  

Well I guess I better get some supper on the table and feed the kids.  Hubby will be home in about an hour.   Later days!  I hope to veg in front of the TV tonight and clip coupons!

 

I got a few good deals at Target in the last couple of days.  

 

Old Spice Deoderant - 3 - pack on clearance for 2.65.  (kind hubby uses)

Secret Solid - 3-pack on clearance for 2.65 ( me)

Lysol Wipes - 2-huge containers (regular 4.99 each) and a free container of Lysol Orange Scrubbing Wipes (regular 2.49, I think it was) the three pack was on clearance for $6.78.

 

Pampers Easy-Ups are on sale for 8.99 and there was recently a $2.00 off coupon in the paper.   So 6.99 for a bag of pull-ups.  Not bad.  If you look for the coupon it does expire today though  - 4-30-04

I jsut called my SIL to see if she had this coupon still as I will go buy one more bag then.

I had a chiro appt last night.  I had to take Tommy with me and he got spoiled.  They gave him carrots and muffins.  We were only there about 5 minutes.   Josh went to the movie with his gf, Amy.   I went to bed early and cross stitched for an hour.   I have been in the mood to be creative a bit.  Grannyfox seems to have motivated me. 

I am thinking about not going to work today since I am so tired and sore.  But I have a couple of budgets I have to get done.  So I guess I will go in for 4 hours like I had planned.   I hope to get in this morning as I will then make my menu and grocery list this afternoon.   I really have to get done.  There is nothing to eat in this house!!  Argh...it is getting hard for me to keep up again. 

I did run a few errand yesterday at Target, we need pull-ups and a few cleaning items.   I found some lysol wipes on clearance for a great deal.  I also found daisy disposal razers on a good clearance.  A 10 pack was 2.84 and they had a save $1.00 now on each package, so I bought two of them.  I need to find some more coupons for pull-ups as they are on sale at Target. 

Well time for me to shower and get to work!!

 

HELLO....busy again.   It is hard to fit into the day everything we need to.  I still need to fit in going to the chiropractor three tiems a week.   Last night we had church so it was a busy night.  I didn't do my laundry so I am a day behind on my schedule.  But I am still doing pretty good. 

I am so happy with our rotating of chores.   Tuesday night everyone did their chores with no complaining.  Today I am working a parital day as I have a chiro appt.   I am keeping up well at work which is good since I am working less hours.  The state is coming to sudit our files and I am ready early!!  YEAH!!   I still have to complete some reports for the 7 new cases I have gotten.  I hope to go into the summer with everything up to date and done at  work and home.  This weekend I will be de-clutering again and finishing up the living room. 

TO DO:

Buy Pull-ups
Buy Milk
Make Menu and Grocery List
Update Checkbook

 

One less stressful thing in my life!! Yeah....my hubby just called me at work to let me know the Insurance company has given a new offer on my the value of my truck. So I think we are going to take this amount and be done with it. They offered us jsut under 11,000.00. My new truck cost about 12,000.00 so that will cover most of the cost of my replacement vehicle.

The last reimbursement we need from them is for our extra rental car cost. Then we should only have my medical bills to deal with and they are an on-going expense. ALso my lost wages, I guess.

Doing the happy dance!!!!  Tommy slept through the night!!  YEAH!!  I did get woken by some annoying bird chirping at our window at about 6:30.  But I slept through the night, so who cares!!  

I am going in late again today as I will be working late again tonight.  My last homevisit today is at 7:00pm, so I won't be home until around 9:00pm.  So that doesn't leave much time to do much, plus I can't work that many hours at a time.  My back really hurts if I sit that long and try to work. 

So this morning I am doing my share of the weekly chores.  I also do Erik's since he isn't living here yet as school is still in session.   So I cleaned the bathrooms and mopped which took me about an hour total.   I also did dishes since it was my turn last night and I didn't do them.  

We have divided up the weekly chores since I can't do as much as I could before the accident.  This is the first week we are doing this.  It is going ok so for.  I madea chore list for each area then we jsut rotate those weekly.    It was hard to divide it all up, but this is what I cam up with.

I worked late tonight, so it is pretty much home and to bed.  I will be going in late again tomorrow as I have a real late home visit tomorrow night too.   I did get most of my list completed before I went to work.  I will jsut change around my laundry and head to bed for the night.    I sure hope the baby sleeps tonight!   I really need a complete night of sleep.  Later!!

Happy day...Happy day....the insurance company sent me two checks today to bring them up to 4/17/04 for lost wages.  YEAH!!  I will be able to pay my house payment on time.    I over course will be sending them time sheets again tomorrow for two more weeks.  I am trying to work more and more, but with the beginning of the exercises and stretches I am missing a bit more work as I need to ice more often again.    I did take enact my rights under the Medical Leave Act so I work what I can each week. 

MONDAY......

Another week is beginning,  and it will be busy as always.   I am going into work late this morning since I am very sore and already have been to the chiropractor this morning.  I am icing for now than I hope to do a bit around the hosue in between icing my back.   I started the recommended stretches, but am very sore after them.   Tonight I have a late meeting so I won't be going into work until this afternoon.   The same thing will be happening tomorrow as I have a 4:00 and 7:00pm home visits.  

We started doing out rotation of chores over the weekend and it really went well.   We are rotating dishes daily.   It was nice that I wasn't responsible to do dishes every day.   Today is my day to do dishes.  I also have a laundry schedule that seems to be working much better. 

Monday - Towels
Tuesday - Sheets
Wednesday - Darks
thrusday - Lights
Friday - Socks
Saturday - Tom's CLothes
Sunday

Today I have to write up the chore list for Tuesday night.   Tuesday is our daily blessing day (weekly cleaning) .  I am going to write a detailed list of what cleaning needs to be done and it is divided between the five of us.  

I am hoping to work on my flylady zones again this week.   I didn't get much done in the Master Bedroom last week, but I am moving on.  THis week is the Living Room, I don't have too much to do in the living room, but a few things!!  I have the VETS coming to for donation pick up on May 19th, so I hope to have most of the house done by then. 

MONDAY TO DO:

Put Tom's Clothes away
Swtich Laundry Around
Laundry - Towels
Call to order my Bride's Maid Dress
Type Up Chore Lists
Type Up Living Room Zone List
Cushion Diving Mission - Living Room

Sunday -

Well Tommy didn't sleep well during the night. He was up from about 3
to 6 off and on.   He was crying in his room and would say I want to
watch a movie, I want to go outside, etc.   Trying to convince him it was
night time wasn't working.   I put him in bed with us, and he jsut kept
saying "mom, I Love You....Dad ( who was snoring) Dad, I love you over
and over since Daddy wouldn't answer.  

I had to be up early since my niece and nephew were coming over.  My
nephew has autism and one of his stims is to talk and talk.....I have to
wake up here.   My neice is nicely watching Blue's Clues.  I am going
to let Tommy and Daddy sleep until they wake up.  If they wake in time
for church we wil go,  Tommy has such a cold too, I think that is part
of the reason he was awake so much last night.

This afternoon we are going to try to go to the carnival at Erik's
school.   SHould be interesting.  I am off to try and wake up.  Have a
great day!
