Friday

I love Fridays. Something always feels great about Fridays. It must be that feeling of ahhh...the weekend is coming and it's time to chill and do something fun.
It is quieter at our house tonight. Keirah is staying overnight with grandma. Josh is playing with his new Env 2 cell phone and I am blogging. Aliyah finished lesson 57 in schoolwork tonight. This week is the last week of 2 lesson days. We do this because we like to get out in March (the beginning). Anyway, with Keirah at grandma's, it gave Aliyah & I time to do school.

I have this new routine set up while Aliyah works on school. Since she does it in the kitchen, I focus all of my tasks in the kitchen as well. I can do dishes, fold laundry, work on the checkbook, tidy the kitchen, clean the countertops, and read blogs and stuff. This keeps me on top of things in the house and in the same room as Aliyah. It ensures that she gets everything done and makes me available for questions.
I have my laundry finished =), my dishes done =), my kitchen clean =), my coupon organizer cleaned out =), and the house is picked up =). Tomorrow is time for some yard work. Since I mowed the front last night, I will mow the back tomorrow. I also need to give the flowers a drink. The September warm weather has been welcomed by me!! One thing that is awesome is to have windows open all of the time for fresh air. I don't think we have used the A/C even once this month.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that yesterday was Terrific-Deal Thursday!! Everywhere we went, we found great stuff on sale or clearance. Sears: Fiddle Faddle .32/box, Chips Ahoy 1.00/packs, Oreo .84/pack, Zone Perfect bars $1.25/box, Wheat Thins .80/box--awesome deals!! We got some great stuff at Target as well, but I won't list them all since it is late and I am tired now.
Have a SUPER-Duper weekend! Go out and enjoy these beautiful days while they last.
