Weekend Goals

• Blog about mustard
  
• Laundry - put away clean Coloreds
• Dishes, Empty Dishwasher
• Grocery shopping
  
• Plan garden based on seeds I have or have been offered to me, plus vegetables we really want to grow. Mostly done.
• Order seeds?!
• Stay inside as much as possible to avoid the High-of-ten,-Low-of-negative-five weather
• Start knitting Swiffer cover
  

Should be a quiet week.

Here's my list so far:

- Put away clean dishes
- Ensure the back room is clean for the kids
- Fold/Put away clean laundry
- Small group over tonight (cookies and ice cream! Need to make more ice cream!)
- Meeting at church tomorrow
- Sweep

Ashley's goals 1/4

1. Package up the stuff I sold on ebay.
2. Go to post office.
3. Hang towel rods in our bathroom.
4. Create a proposed budget based on what the budget coach told us.
5. Apply for a job at Aquent.
6. Spend 30 minutes cleaning up and organizing.
7. Make dinner (start at 5pm).
8. Figure out voting stuff so we can vote next month. (I should also add, "figure out who I'm voting for".)
9. Do a load of laundry.
10. Go over proposed budget with Paul.

Home for a day

Yesterday Josh had to work, and I was left home without a car.

• I got the meat off of leftover cornish hens, froze it
• I made broth with the bones.
• I took down the Christmas decorations.
• I rearranged furniture.
• I blogged.
• I put 2 baskets of laundry away
  
• I didn't cook dinner because my parents were taking us out for my birthday, and our fridge & freezer are too full for cooking & saving anything, with holiday leftovers
  
• And I was totally bored by about 2:30 in the afternoon.

What do you guys DO with yourselves?! I suppose its different having other people (kids) at home with you. As it is, (controversial statement of the day) I'm glad I'm working at this stage in life. I'd go nuts.
