playing hooky today!

March 2nd, 2005 at 06:16 pm

The kids have another snow day! They had one yesterday too. We have a lot of snow piled up and the bus routes are still snow covered. So, I'm playing hooky from work. I've been fiddling around on the computer, but need to get up and do some housework. In a minute... LOL. Stephanie is crashed out on the sofa and Nick is cleaning his room.

DH came up with a new house rules/chore chart list last Sunday, and we started using it Monday. Monday we leave the TV and computer turned off. I thought Stephanie was going to have a heart attack; she stomped her feet a lot. I was able to peacefully read, and Nick played with his toys. It was very different for us and nice, but definitely quiet!

I'm planning to list a couple of things on E-Bay tonight. I'm putting the money towards my credit card bill. It has gone from $2,553.14 (February 1st) to $2,244.52 (March 1st). Over $300.00 is pretty good. I hope to beat that this month.

Our bedroom looks good. I've been trying to dispose of one bag for the Salvation Army a week (paper grocery bag size, or sometimes kitchen trash bag size), and one trash bag full of "stuff". You know, school papers that have been hanging around, etc. When I do laundry I've been putting clean, unwanted clothing into the Salvation Army bag. I've been losing weight and plan to reward myself with a new outfit just before Easter.

I am definitely a "messie"! But, week by week I keep trying, and now our bedroom is showing the results.

I've been tracking our spending in a pretty journal that I have. It should be an eye opener at the end of the month.
