Jean in Newcastle Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Good morning everyone! I slept in a bit this morning and feel a bit groggier than usual. Today is a day where we will be out and about. Library Dentist Grocery store Various stores to get wood and strings and other things I don't understand for the electric guitar that ds is making. At home, I desperately need to work on laundry. And of course I always get to clean the kitchen. Lucky me! I still have two things from last week on my list: fix the towel rack in the bathroom cut up the huge branch from my neighbor's tree and put it in my yard waste.

Scook86 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I will! I have to tackle all of the house cleaning that was set aside while being sick for the past 4-5 days. I need to finalize the Christmas stories for our "12 days of Christmas" reading activity. And I need to finish up Chistmas shopping, too. Aaaah!

Julie Smith Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I will. Today we have to do school twice, to make up for yesterday. (Our school day is actually quite short, so this is easily do-able) We all slept in this morning. But with the exception of piano we are done are school subjects for the day. (We did practice piano once today to make up for yesterday, but we still have today's practice to do) I am getting my hair cut today. So my boys are going to a friends house for an hour. I want to continue listening to "Igraine the Brave". Youngest is into it. Eldest is not. I want to listen to more today, but the boys are being silly. :p So it likely wouldn't happen till later.

Scook86 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Finished! Yes! Still have to find some of the Christmas stories but the bulk of "work" today is over with. Hallelujah!! Now I can sit back and relax. Well, at least until dinner. :) Picking out stories isn't so much work. I think it's actually kinda fun.

prairiegirl Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I have tackled everything on my list. Wahoo! I have washed the kitchen floor and the floor at the back entry. We had a successful day of school. I went to town to send my parents Christmas present by mail, brought my recycling in (I have been putting this off for 6 months) and went to the library to return books. I also peeled off the wallpaper in our hallway and have prepared the walls to be painted, hopefully, later on in the week. I am now going to get off of the computer to make supper: ham, scalloped potatoes and a new side dish with mushrooms and snap peas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 It's good to see so much being done by Busy Bees! 4:30 my time check in. I am absolutely exhausted. We left the house at 10:30 am and just got home 5 min. ago. We have gone to the : library, the dentist (I think he fixed the problem from the last appointment), the mall for a very short stint, the gas station where I had to go in and tell the guy that the pumps weren't working right (everyone else was cussing but weren't doing anything about it), to Home Depot where I spent way too much money on my kids expensive hands-on projects (electric guitar for ds15 and longboard for dd11) to the Japanese grocery store to the electronics store (where a man tried to convince ds15 that it was too hard for him to make an electric guitar by scratch and he should buy a kit instead. Ds didn't listen. I don't know if that is good or bad) to the guitar store where they didn't have DIY stuff and then home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieamy Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I'm checking in and about done for the night. I'm pretty happy with the amount of work done. I have to do a big push tomorrow too but that's okay. I don't have any other plans besides working, taking care of kid, and going to Weight Watchers. The only other thing I really have to finish tonight are the sheets but I know that will get done because I won't be able to go to bed without them done. :) Done: Dressed Library Calendar updated Girl Scout cookies paid for Reading Fill out papers to switch my IRA around Math Spelling Go through inbox and file stuff Work file base Tomorrow: Call about my sister - waiting on them to return my call Call about party reservations - waiting on this also Start new work project Laundry - sheets Print a few work papers Wrap presents CAD Send Christmas invitation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
