The day after the ferocious storm

It is really overcast outside today and rains sporadically. I think we are getting more of the rain-bands today than yesterday from the monster they call Dolly. Of course I am kidding about "monster", the media always exaggerates and I am poking fun (it wasn't bad here, I know it was bad elsewhere). We desperately needed the rain though; our grass was turning a delightful shade of tan-ish green. I really need to start working out again. I have just been SO tired lately and I can't get back into the swing of things. I have to catch up on lots of laundry, too.

Troy had one of the a/c guys come and check out our a/c this morning to make sure everything is in perfect working order. The guy said everything looks good and he topped off the frion, which wasn't low-just needed a little. I think we are just feeling the effects of high gas prices from our electricity bills. MAN!! We already called our electric provider to get a lower rate. For those of you that don't pay attention to those things, the amount they charge per kilowatt hour is steadily increasing. We locked in a really good low rate for two years. I highly suggest looking into calling your electric provider, can't hurt to ask! (Troy does all the work when it comes to getting better rates/prices, as most of you know!)

I really need to get the kids' school shopping done; clothes and supplies. I usually purchase the supply package from school, but have you seen the CHEAP prices at WalMart for school supplies lately?! I just hate to have to go through all the looking. =P~ Also, there are a few things on their list that I don't even know what they expect you to buy. (dunno what it is!!) Last year I bought quite a few school supplies, but then when I added everything up it was about the same-minus the headache of shopping for the stuff.

I had better get the laundry moving again. 'Til next time!
