I wanted to, but alas, it's not going to happen before Thanksgiving. Sigh... :)<br /><br />And as for that mental to-do list, I always plan twice as much in my head to do in one day that is possible to accomplish. You are in good company.<br /><br />Now, I am off to do laundry. Or maybe not. :)karlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12104801824445226420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-8626966281596320052009-11-19T16:27:18.661-06:002009-11-19T16:27:18.661-06:00What is this "check book" you speak of? ...What is this "check book" you speak of? Seriously, I didn't realize anyone wrote checks anymore! :) The few bills I can't set up electronic payment for, I use my credit union's "bill pay" function instead -- so I guess I do send a couple of checks a month, but I never write them myself.<br /><br />The best thing I've ever done to relieve bill-related stress was to start having a monthly budget meeting with my husband. The 25th of every month we have lunch together and plan out where every dollar is going. It's so much more enjoyable to know that I planned to spend $10 at Ross, so no guilt! That being said, I did have to make some "adjustments" to the budget after I bought my daughter's birthday presents this month...lol.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00706163780474900572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-74166243382548095792009-11-18T22:38:11.300-06:002009-11-18T22:38:11.300-06:00Don't you love it when you're out shopping...Don't you love it when you're out shopping during the school day and people ask your children (instead of you) "Why aren't you in school today?"<br /><br />And then we explain that we homeschool, which here in SA isn't very common. And they always say (slowly) "Okaaaayy..that's niiiice."<br /><br />And then we smile and move on.JulieMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01217474724223801870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-69242397995005341702009-11-18T21:25:36.273-06:002009-11-18T21:25:36.273-06:00just so you know, i haven't started my christm...just so you know, i haven't started my christmas shopping. :) and i love that you met your husband when you were little too!!! isn't it so fun?!?! hope you had a great refreshing day off!rachellechasebloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18279892084527323930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-26036480938987150512009-11-18T21:16:52.906-06:002009-11-18T21:16:52.906-06:00Just stoped by to tell you I enjoy your blog and t...Just stoped by to tell you I enjoy your blog and that As a homeschooling mom, it sounds like ya needed the day off!

Ask K and he will tell you some of the stories of me being off just a few cents! <br /><br />I (like your relative) (p.s. I know who you are!) have been entirely done with Christmas shopping back in early Oct. Mainly cause I can't stand going shopping during the holiday season. I think it is so worth getting it done early than spend all of Nov/Dec. holding my tongue every time I try to shop. People are just so rude when it comes to shopping around holiday season, that, and I'm claustrophobic and can't stand too many people around me! <br /><br />Our church took a mission trip to Mexico last year and it was incredibly humbling to say the least. We are extremely blessed I agree! Glad you got some work done on your mom's gift. I know it will turn out nicely! Be sure to post a picture of your handiwork when you get it all done. : )Giovannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07293813463598024256noreply@blogger.com
