Thursday, house work blah!

16 days without using a CC!
studio checking $4374.12
personal checking -$186.99


      I swear all I did yesterday was sew on military patches and uniform patches.  I hate patches all most as much as I hate zippers, but alas it is my life.  I am caught up in the shop which is almost unheard of so today I will clean my house which is sadly in need of attention.

     I have not had a house keeper since the 2nd week of December.  Putting up all the Christmas decorations and taking them down did allow me to really clean, but since I haven't  moved anything around for about 2 weeks things are pretty dusty.  I did get all the floors done last Saturday evening and all the beds changed but the kitchen and bathrooms need love.

     I was thinking of putting $64.00 a week into a savings account labeled house account.  That is what I paid the housekeeper to come in for 4 hours a week.  I would then use this money for vacations and road trips.  I would pay myself to clean my own house.  We will see.  It would be an incentive to stop whatever I am doing and get the housework done as I love to put money in savings.  It makes me happy.

     I have a rib roast that has plenty of meat left over on it including the bone so I am going to make a big pot of beef barley soup while I clean today.  Yum.

     Hubby is out of town today so he will be home late tonight.  I am so glad we don't have to clean the bank tonight.  It is not hard, I am just sick of having one more thing to do once I leave the studio. Whine, whine it does help with expenses and is helping us use money for debt so I need to quit complaining.

     Well I am off to take a hot bath, and get to the house work.

Out My Window: Sunny! beautiful cold winter day.  Makes me wish I was skiing.  It has been overcast and dull for a week.  It is so nice to wake up to sunshine. Also January is 1/2 over Hooray!
 
Have a great and productive day!
