Melissa in Australia Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 An extremely busy day. I am emptying out completely what was DH and my dressing room and turning it into a bedroom. DH is constructing shelving in DD14 bedroom so her room will be tidier as I shifted my large stockpile of sewing supplies into her closet The bees swarmed and we had to catch the swarm. This involved DH climbing up a tree in his bee suit to saw down a branch while I stood underneath holding up a bee box as high as I could to catch the swarm as it fell. Bee suits are not designed for tree climbing. DS10 and myself are making 2 scrappy quilts . We need to get them finished in 9 days, and only just started today. Spring cleaning the whole house frantically. 'Cause we have had the MOST Exciting news.... and have only 9 days to prepare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 So I cleared the dining room table and walked into the kitchen and saw the rice cooker was empty. Which reminded me that I needed to make more rice. Which reminded me that I needed chicken to go with the rice. Which reminded me that we were out of chicken. So I took Rocky and we went to the grocery store. And I bought chicken. . . and almond milk (because I remembered that we were out of that too) and uncooked tortillas and cream cheese (because my tween inhales it) and kombucha (because they finally had my favorite flavor) and rice krispies because they were out of millet puffs (don't ask) and cheese and cream cheese California rolls (because that is my latest obsession). Whew! And then I went through Jerry's line because Jerry was my neighbor for ten years. When he asked me how I was, I said "fine" and he looked at me for a moment and said "Um hmm. If you say so." So I don't think I pulled the wool over his eyes! Going out of the grocery store I saw a woman with a German Shepherd who had the same kind of gentle leader that Rocky uses. So we had a nice chat about how well they work on potentially out-of-control dogs. :) Rocky and I pulled up in our drive way and my son came out to help take in the groceries (Good boy!). I got the chicken into the oven with the Rice Krispies (oven fried chicken). Then I finally got around to emptying the dishwasher and filling it with the dirty things so that I had room in the sink to wash the rice cooker pan. Then I got the rice in the rice cooker. So. . . goal met! Oh and somewhere in there I checked in with the kids and their schoolwork. Ds finished his online physics videos and moved on to Algebra 2. I read over and corrected dd's writing, vocabulary and grammar. And I won an argument on when to use "to" and when to use "too". And now it is noon and time to eat my cream cheese California rolls. Life might hurt but it is still fairly good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendy not in HI Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I sewed most of the morning and did everything I can do without trying the dress on my dd. We'll fit it tonight.

readinmom Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Jean, that almost sounds like If You Give a Mouse a Cookie...sub in, If You Go to the Store to Buy Cream Cheese... Hives still going. Just found out the air conditioner is definitely broken, as in, replace it. $$$ It's going to be in the 100s here the next few days. :cursing: Dd finished all of her work and we're off to tutoring. Have a great evening, everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Aside from eating some chocolate, the only tasks I have left for today are making dinner (heating up soup and bread) and writing/sending out rehearsal notes. It's one of my least favorite tasks, particularly because when I get home on Tuesdays I'm exhausted and brain dead except for the part of my brain that is pounding on my skull to get out. Need more coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 OK - since I last posted: lunch done Tried to work with ds on Latin. He started to melt down. I talked to him. Dh talked to him. I banned him from my sight until I calmed down (ds, not dh) and was ready to teach him. I spent an hour doing his Latin before giving him a crack at it so that I would actually know what I was talking about. This wasn't so easy since I learned Greek, not Latin. But it was possible because I learned Greek and there are some similarities and the book has some really nice charts. Called him back and showed him how to do it. Started to get upset again when he told me that I do it the dull boring way. I told him that at least I'm not guessing and get it right. . . . Made him do the next one on his own. Helped him out with my dull boring way when he immediately got stuck. He did the next couple of his own. We tabled the rest until tomorrow. My plan. Do the rest of it and the next exercise ahead of him so that I know what I'm talking about before tomorrow gets here. Was I planning on learning Latin? Um. . . . I guess so. And I guess there is no place like Latin 3 to jump into learning it! :lol: Somewhere in there dh went to work. And dd started to melt down about math but I told her to go outside with my cell and play and I would call her when I was ready. Did so. Did math with her while tears rolled down her cheeks. She did fine. She just psyches herself out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Dd and I went to the grocery store for ice cream because I forgot ice cream on my earlier jaunt to get chicken and cream cheese. Dinner is done. Now I've wasted an hour and a half dinking around on the computer. Time to get busy again. First stop: kitchen to do a last clean up in there. - DONE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
