Get Ready for Cooler Weather

Last night it got pretty cold, so I had to turn on the heater this morning. My stomach turned at the very thought of those gigantic gas bills from last year. Today I’m doing some little projects around the house to try and beat the huge gas bill.

I started off by grabbing 2 large rugs that we were storing upstairs, and I brought them downstairs to keep the hardwood floors warm. My hubby and I go back and forth on the subject of carpeting the hardwood, I hope the rugs will work for now. The rugs also became the cat-wrestling arena, they have been battling each other all day.

What to do this Weekend

When it is going to be 100 degrees outside and a heat index of 107, I think we are going to be indoors this weekend. So what is the plan? I’m cleaning the kitchen, that should take a while. I’m also making some snacks for us to munch on during the race tomorrow. I have four loads of laundry that need put away, and all of the wastebaskets need emptied again. I’m also going to take stock of the freezers and work those found items in to next weeks menu. I need to gather up my coupons and make a shopping list too . I think I’m going to try and get a few sewing projects done too, a new top for me, and new place mats for the dining room. It looks like the weekend is going to be busy, even if we don’t leave the house.

What projects are you doing around the house when it is too hot outside?

The Dishes did not Get Done

I only had one more thing to do on my to do list for today, the dishes. They will have to wait until tomorrow, I’m exhausted. I still have two boys that need baths, and then I’m calling it a night.

I did get a few things done today: errands, 6 dozen cookies baked for James workplace and home, and I made a new curtain for James home office too. I ran a dozen cookies over to the neighbors. They had received some of our mail, and they brought it over along with yummy banana cake ( I love our neighbors). I hope they get our mail tomorrow

Dylan was up every hour last night, and Thade was up a lot too. I hope that both of the boys sleep well tonight. Mommy desperately needs some rest.
