Oh joy.) find part online for the refrigerator cook something. call Mom 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 4 am here. There is no snow on the ground! So much for having help with the sick kids today. So basically I'm in survival mode. They are all spread out in nests on my floor. I dont have to worry about feeding them because this thing comes with no appetite. I'll keep laundry moving all day since they just keep spoiling things. Other things... - cancel Friday's well check up appointments for baby and 2 year old. - call insurance company about baby's insurance issues - do dishes - place library books on hold - sleep when kids are sleeping - drink lots of coffee 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnM Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Today we have co-op all day. Then I come home and pick up youngest and head out to scope out a new Eagle project site for my oldest. It is an hour away. That will take up pretty much the entire day. I will leave here around 8am and get home around 7pm. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Woke up at 7 and snow was just starting but they canceled schools anyway meaning dh doesn't have to go into treach this morning. We won't know until later today if his boss closes the kung fu school for the whole night. That will depend on if it continues to snow and conditions get bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So school is audio books, cleaning, art and a few other random things. so continuing with that theme... Start on the girls room.

MomtoCandJ Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Well picked dd1 up from school due to stomach issues. I hope she's well enough to go tomorrow, otherwise there will a lot of major fits and not just her. We will be staying with my brother and his 3 kids and dd1 is the same age as them and if she's not with me I will have 3 disappointed 6 yr olds and 1 7 yr old (dd1 being one of the 6yr olds) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Human care done. I don't have a sore throat today but I am back to tummy issues. Nothing too bad. Just there. The throat is still swollen a bit - not due to a virus but due to whatever has made this a chronic thing. I guess I'm glad that we're finally pinpointing the source of symptoms I've had for years but I'm a bit frustrated that there is no solution other than treating it if it turns into an acute problem. I think I have some more medical research ahead of me here. Dd is still sick. She's more of a slug today than she was even yesterday. Found the part I need online for the fridge. Need to figure out how to replace it now. Took ds to work this morning. Made dinner for dh and his packed supper. Talked to my mom. Got a kick out of hearing that my 90 year old mom went to an art show yesterday. I hope I'm as interested in my hobbies and the world when I'm her age. Cleaned the kitchen. Next up: laundry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Dang. I could not get my work done today and I don't feel good enough to go to TKD. I could have taken the kids there and worked on my laptop, but I would have had to rush around, and it wasn't worth it. My kids are disappointed but oh well. Maybe tomorrow. I did get some decluttering / reorganizing done. Just a fraction of what needs done, but it made me feel better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 One load folded and half put away. I got side-tracked and never got back to the other half. I'd better get on that! Broken part finally pried out of the fridge. Now I need to order the new part. Helped ds get his remaining new desk drawers put back into his room. Yay, I'm getting my living room back! Returned an e-mail to dd's 10k trainer. Need to work out one more detail for her. Sigh. I've been procrastinating on this and can't put it off anymore. Dealt with more compost. I seem to do an awful lot with compost. . . What I really need to do is to washout the outside composter but I'm not sure that I'm up for that at this point. But if I don't, it might attract vermin now that we have spring here. So. . . next: order the new parts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyinTN Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Snow finally stopped...6 inches of beautiful white snow. We shoveled the driveway, cleaned off cars and sidewalks. Dinner was loaded nachos with fresh pico de gallo and a nice glass of wine. it's Blacklist night and I got a nap today...life is good! :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustEm Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 There has been no vomiting for a few hours and fevers are gone! They all wanted to eat applesauce so I'm hoping the worst is over. I've gotten the dishes under control and will start folding the massive amounts of laundry once baby girl is asleep again. Best part of the day.. I spent over an hour places holds on books from the library and becoming familiar with all the awesome ebooks the library has! I've got a lot of reading to do 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Ugh. Starting to get a sore throat again. Put away the rest of that load. Next: more laundry because. . . well, we either are dirty people who get lots of clothes dirty or are clean people who just change a lot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readinmom Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Dd and I took time this afternoon to do a nature sketch at the park. Beautiful weather! Laundry is 1/2 done I'm hitting a wall and want to stop cleaning now. It's not going anywhere. Everyone have a great night! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Soooooo tired from shoveling! Dh did it twice and I did it twice. We got more than 8", probably closer to 10". It's absolutely gorgeous :) I just wish the snowblower hadn't stopped working during the last storm! Dh made choc chip cookies. Dd made dinner. Dd and I wrestled w some astrophysics equations she needs to know and manipulate for the Science Olympiad competition on Saturday. I think I deserve a good book now :eek: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't really have a full load of laundry to be done right now, just partial of everything. I think I'll wait until Saturday. There will be multiple loads by then. Off to go through my pantries and make a list for tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
