These Days....

I've been babysitting tripets! I usually have 2 of the group, but have had all three. It's nice to have the extra income, but hard on my home. The job should be ending in the next few weeks. :)

I will be making laundry soap soon. I've decided to use some other soap instead of making a trip to purchase the fels naptha. I have heard it will do as well.

Lowes has some free classes for kids and mine really enjoy them. We are cutting back on all outside activities with price of gas and economy. We'll have other errands to run while there.

My hubby's job is not secure. I've already been keeping extra staples, etc. on hand for such a time as this which really helps. I've been storing any extra staples (rice, flour, etc.) in the freezer so no critters decide to move into them. I also use the Clorox Anywhere spray on the doors of the pantry. It seems to keep the critters away also.

We have some mixed lettuce up. We still need to plant whatever else we want to plant to eat. :) I did find some bulbs and seeds for flowers at The Dollar Tree cheap. :)

I plan to have to have a garage sale after job ends and before school lets out. Whatever is left I will give to our local thrift store.

I did hatch a few chicks this year. We may have to relocate so I haven't started any more yet. My hens are laying well. I'm trying to keep the price on eggs down, but may not be able to for much longer. The price didn't go up on them, but the size of the bag got smaller. Isn't that happening with lots of things?

With the nicer weather I am trying to hang out laundry as possible. I'm also using a dryer ball in the dryer when I use it. It's supposed to dry faster and soften. I tear dryer sheets in half when I use them and dust the tv with the old ones.

Need to go so that's enough for today.
