This Day,,,,

I got up in the night with a sinus headache and nausea so I guess I'm not staying hydrated enough. In this heat, I guess I need much more water than usual. My hubby told me to take it easy today. I still need to do my dailies, but will probably organize my recipes in a new expandable file I got at the thrift store for a quarter. :) I will probably file and work on couponing stuff. I hope to feel stronger soon.

It's very hot and dry here. My husband hooked up a pump to draw water from our pond which is quite low now anyway. We have been on water restriction already once this summer and I expect it will happen again. The pump is a wonderful way of keeping the garden and animals watered. I will get boys to help me to bring some up to the house in their wagon for my flowers so I don't have to carry it. I watered some yesterday evening and the ground actually steamed!

I subscribed to Refund Cents and have started to do better on grocery budget. I saved $22.49 on my last trip to Kroger. I do go to SaveAlot also. They also take coupons on the brand name items they carry. :)

Here is my daily list:

Kitchen

1. Up and ready for day. Swish toilet after I flush.
2. Breakfast and clean up.
3. Dishes in dishwasher and sink/ washed and put away.
4. Vacuum. Needs done daily at least. I have carpet in kitchen which I hate and would not recommend.
5. 21 pickup 3 x. I simply put away 21 items three times. Helps in keeping counters clearer.

Laundry

1. 2 loads (usually)
2. 21 pickup
3. Sweep

Living room

1. 21 pickup
2. Straighten

Bedrooms

1. Beds made-boys do their own. :)
2. 21 pickup.

Bathroom

1. Sweep
2. Swish toilet
3. Sink and counter.
4. 21 pickup.

Other Daily Chores

1. Meals-sometimes boys help.
2. Table set and cloth-boys help.
3. Animal care-boys help.
4. Checkbook.
5. Mail.
6. Check pending things that need to be done today.

Every other day boys shake out rugs.

Will post weeklies later as I'm moving slow and need to get started. Maybe some music....
