QUICK TIP
Use the edges of your garbage bag and tie together to close. Save the wire tie wraps for other uses in your home like:
~ closing bread when someone loses the tie to the bag
~ tying up excess cords to organize and hide them
~ have trouble wrapping the end of that ext cord...wrap it up and
use a tie wrap to keep it from coming undone
There are many uses. List some that you can think of.

THINGS TO BE THANKFUL FOR TODAY!!
I want to list my children and my grandchildren as things to be thankful for!! There have been many times in my life that if I had not had either of them I feel like I would not have had a reason to go on. They give me LIFE! I may have given life to them but they return it often for this I am so very thankful!
COUPONING & ARTHRITIS / DOWN DAYS
Its been a rough day! The arthritis has been bad today! That's what usually happens when it rains-I hate barometric pressure changes!!
However, I have taken this opportunity of laying/sitting most of the day to catch up on "paperwork". My youngest daughter and I have decided to start couponing and she had several deals, coupons, and grocery shopping to do yesterday. So we accumulated few Sunday papers, clipped a couple coupons, and just jumped in with both feet (and BOTH BABIES). We hit the local newspaper office, Walgreens, CVS, and WalMart. We really didn't know much about what we were doing but we wanted to get started right away (at least my daughter did, she is very impatient...lol). I bet you are thinking this was pretty dumb to try to do all in one day, right?!?! NO! The dumbest thing is to try doing this with a NURSING INFANT and a SLIGHTLY SICK TODDLER in tow!!! We are crazy like that! We got it done anyway! LOL
This left a huge paper mess at my house (she doesn't take the papers home, we do all that at my house or in my car on the go) so I worked on clearing most of it up. Reading through the rest of the papers and at least grouping them and throwing away the old ads, pulling out coupons and tossing the news part of the paper. I got some coupons actually cut out but have some more to do. I know once we get going this will all be easier but it sure seems a lot like WORK right now.
I also managed to get a couple loads of laundry going, not finished, but going. I made PB&J sandwiches for me and the baby for lunch, cooked a pan of cornbread and did the Hormel microwave dinners for supper. Now, that doesn't seem like much but yet I feel completely give out! Oh yes, I've been chasing this 16 month old all day! LOL!! Actually, she has been chasing me all day, as in clinging on. I guess she isn't feeling that great or just "feels" that I'm not feeling well. Either way, she has been my constant companion today.
AND THIS IS HOW I HANDLE A "DOWN" DAY!

WELCOME FRIENDS!!!
WELCOME TO MY HUMBLE LITTLE BLOG!!
I have no idea what I am doing but I do know that I wanted to start a blog and I hope to learn from others and, maybe ...just MAYBE, I can share some kind of knowledge with someone else that might be beneficial. If nothing else, I hope to be able to learn how to pass on some of the GREAT SITES I have found to help out around your HOME, help with your CHILDREN, help with MOTIVATION and FAITH, help with Schedules and Cleaning (watch out! Those that really "know" me, know that I have a touch of OCD! LOL!!!)
Anyway, I've already raised one set of children and am working on the second time around. I know some things, am learning some things, don't have a clue about some things, and just plain don't agree with some things (sorry you know we all have these thoughts sometimes). So here we go...I may be a little haphazard to begin with but I'm sure that with time I will find my in this Blogging and get focused and get better and better! HANG IN THERE WITH ME...HERE WE GO!
