PreReunion Day Shopping and Dog Baths

Well, I have the day off work today to help my mom prepare for the family reunion at their house tomorrow. I got up this morning and paid all my bills (payday) per the plan. I am fairly close to having a 0% financing credit card paid off. It is one of those where it is free for 18 months but if you don't pay it off within the 18 months, it is accumulating all that interest and it will be owed. So I definitely have to have it paid off. I have until 2010 sometime, but I really want it to be paid off now so I don't have that monthly payment to worry about. I was hoping I was going to find a way to pay it off before the hours cut at work, but being that starts tomorrow, that didn't happen. I guess worse case scenario I am okay to not make payments (besides the minimum) on it during the hours cut. And the hours cut is supposed to be just temporary, the only problem is we really don't know how long temporary means.

I am off to meet my mom to do some last minute shopping and then back to her house to start preparing food for tomorrow. I also have in the back of my head that I really would like to give all the dogs a bath today. I can have my niece help me as it is pretty taxing on me physically. Either I give them a bath in the tub and am kneeling on my knees all that time or I give them one in the laundry sink. That is a great option and I have one of those shower sprayer attachments set up on that sink. It works really great. However, the dogs never learned how to go downstairs, and I never encouraged it. So, that means I have to carry them up and down. And that is pretty tough for me to physically do. Not that the dogs weigh a lot, I just can't do stairs more than once or twice a day, on a good day. When my niece helps, she can either carry up and down and dry off in between and it works great or even in the tub, she can do one or two and give my knees a break for a little while.

I now have less than half an hour to get ready and out of the house, I know I can do it, but I gotta get going! Here's to not buying too many craft supplies today....
