Housework Suffers

Balancing motherhood with an extra effort to pay down debt can take its toll on how much housework I can get done sometimes. I don't know how some women do it.

I've yet to get up early to work on some freelance work like I had planned, but if I do get up early over the next couple of days, I think I'm going to spend the time cleaning. My house is not a sty, but I do have a lot of papers to go through, an inch of dust over everything and floors that could use a good vacuuming and/or mopping.

After I get these things out of the way, perhaps then I can concentrate on earning a little extra.

I have, however, done a little work toward earning money; I sorted through some of my freelance opportunities. Just sorting earns me nothing, though.

thredUP

Yesterday, I heard about a site called thredUP . Through this site, you can buy used clothes for your growing child from other parents, and sell the ones your child has outgrown. As quickly as our little girl goes through clothes at this stage, I think this sounds like a great idea. I'm constantly pulling clothes my daughter has outgrown out of her closet, and I feel like she's forever running out of clothes that fit her. I plan to look into it a little more, and I just might give it a try.

Frozen Dinner Thoughts

I've been trying to give some thought to what kinds of foods would make good homemade frozen dinners.  (My first post on the topic is here .) Tomorrow is grocery day, so I'd like to have an idea what kinds of things I can make to make sure I have all the ingredients. So far, I'm planning stew (per my husband's request) and a crustless cheeseburger quiche. Hopefully, I can think of another seven options between today and tomorrow.

TV Time

I'm still looking for a lighter TV , but I hope to buy one within the next couple of weeks. I don't like that so many that I see come with only a yearlong warranty. I don't trust that. Odds are -- based on the reviews of the ones I've seen -- the TV will outlast the warranty, but I just dislike the idea of shelling out $300 or $400 for something that the manufacturer has only a year's worth of confidence in. Based on what I've found in researching TVs, though, I'm probably not going to get a better warranty than that, so I'll likely just have to suck it up.
