Monday, Another chart!

 Completed another chart on Friday, I brought home almost all the money I took with for our trip to Canada.  So, I added that to the savings. 

I spent the weekend trying to fight off a serious case of depression.  Don't know why it hits like it does. I had Kelsa Friday night hoping that would help. 

Saturday morning started with pancakes and me deciding to take a swipe at my house.  I hadn't done a thorough deep clean since spring cleaning.  So, I set a timer and what I thought would take me an hour took three. But I dusted the ceiling fans on down.

Living next to a feed lot brings in flies, I am always fighting them. I swear they die in the window wells.  Having been gone 3 days left me with the carcasses I clean up several times a day.  It is just that time of the year. Still, I love the cows, so I am really not complaining.  Rather flies than mosquitos. 

Saturday afternoon to ward off the blues Kelsa and I went shopping.  I have not taken her shopping all year as I am trying to save money. But I went to Costco for laundry soap, plastic freezer bags, and plastic wrap. We found some school clothes for her, and we just had a good time.  Then her mom came to take her away as they were going to a theme park the next day.  I could have gone with but said no and stayed home to wallow.

Wallowed all day yesterday.  Did not change out of my p.j.s until after noon. Finally went out to feed and check on the chickens.  Found out they are laying eggs under the coup and came out with 16 pullet eggs. Little buggers.

I have plenty to do today as I continue to wallow. Lil sis was over her and she cheered me up some. Now I have to kick my own butt to get something done. I hope I can kick hard enough.

I have 4 mothers of the bride dresses to get done today and 3 pairs of pants to hem, 2 by 5: o'clock tonight. I also ripped a wedding dress on Friday afternoon, and it is ready for me to sew, if I can just get on to it.  It has two layers of horsehair braid, which I hate. But I can do it with enough gumption, which I am sorely lacking at this moment.

I went out and took a look at the garden this morning and I need to pick all the onions and get them curing.  Also, tomorrow I think there will be enough ripe tomatoes to freeze another gallon bag. That will make 4 gallons so far.  I really want to can at least 24 to 30 quarts this fall if possible.

Well, this sewing is not going to do itself, so I had better get on with it.  I will set a timer and get busy.

I want to be able to get my savings goal done by the end of the month and that means work more and spend less.

What are your goals for the week?

Have a great and productive day

God is good
