Happy Thanksgiving

new day means new update...
yesterday I got the upstairs closet organized, cleaned the upstairs bathroom and vacumed the rugs up there.
Finished up last minute food shopping and baked a pie so that i wouldn't have to do it today.
I am now making pumpkin bread and getting the bread ready for stuffing.
Tim and his uncle are putting in the hardwood floors as I type this. It is going to look so good. Of course I will add pictures when they are done.
Todays Menu will consist of

Herb roasted turkey

stuffing

yams

Mashed potatoe...the real kind with the skins on

beets

corn

rolls

gravy

then apple cranberry pie for desert.

I think I am ready for a nap now LOL
I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and spend time with your loved ones.
One thing I am thankful for this year is ....really everything. I am thankful that we have jobs and each other we have our health and even tho its a little on the tight side with some things i am greatful for that as well...it reminds me that i need to be more humble and not expect so much.
Tomorrow starts my christmas decorating. I normally go shopping on black friday however no money this year to do that. bummer

take care everyone,
peace, love and thankfulness
Tim and Sabrina

Day 2 of vacation

Ok so yesterdays list did not exactly get completed. Here is what I did get done

2 downstairs bathrooms cleaned

The kitchen was cleaned from top to bottom....that means fridge was completly stripped and scrubbed...I even sanitized it.

The long cupboard was decluttered and items moved to the pantry.

3 loads of dishes done

Kitchen table cleaned off ...yikes the most expensive cathall I have ever seen

I got on my hands and Knees and scrubbed the kitchen floor...my knees still hurt.

I made dinner
and finally
I put all the laundry away.

Today we
moved all the stuff out of the living room

Tim ripped up the carpet and foam underneath it

I removed all the staples and tack strips. ... my hand I think is permently bruised from pulling all the staples out.

Just a night of relaxing now.
I hope you all had a great day!

First Day of Vacation

Hello,
Welcome to the first day of vacation! I will try to update this everyday that I am on vacation so to keep you informed of how I am going to enjoy this entire week off. I have so much planned that I think I may have overdone it.. But hey that is what we as americans do....over do things.
SO Day 1
* Tim has left for work since he had to go in... but he will have the rest of the week off.
* I made my list for grocerys for thanksgiving.
* I went to the bank and deposited some money. Just in the nick of time since some checks are about to clear. PHEW!!!
* Went shopping I spent 90 on food however after my coupons and bonus card savings I brought it down to 69.00 I really forgot how much I love using coupons!!! look out grocery stores because i am about to put a hurting on you! LOL
That is what i have completed... here is what I have planned for the rest of the day.
* Put grocerys away
* clean out fridge... way to cluttered and i am running out of tupperware. :O(
* organize freezer both in house and outside. clean outside of outside freezer as well
* Clean all 3 bathrooms
* organize spare bedroom closet

* bring in christmas stuff ( might get put off til tomorrow)
* Start moving things out of living room so Tim and I can remove the carpet tomorrow. The hard wood floors go in on friday!!! I can not wait!!!

I think that is enough for now, If I do more then of course i will update.
I know to some of you this sounds like a crazy way to spend a vacation...however these are things I never find time to do.... except clean the bathrooms and vacume I do that on a regular basis. sortof I am so excited to be spending a week at the house... not going any where. AHHH
