SKL Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I need to leave with the kids at like 6:40am for farm camp. Sleep is not on the list, though I will sneak a nap if I manage to get the other stuff done with time to spare. (Unlikely.) Work in the wee hours. Figure out directions to kids' camp and print them. Pack for the kids' camp. Kids up & ready to go. Stop at WalMart to buy boots & maybe some other stuff. Drop kids off at camp. Come back and work. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaKinVA Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 No School this week...a whole week off for the kiddos (not for me). Boys Room -- the boys are away at camp. After warnings unheeded, the girls and I are tackling their room ourselves (I'm paying the girls for their help...this goes well beyond "family chores." So far, we have found boxes of unopened pencils, bowls, spoons, over due library books, missing school books, more trash than should reasonably be stuffed under a bed, missing swim suits, enough dirty clothes to keep my washing machine running for a week solid, and so much general "stuffage" it would make you cry. At least there is no moldy food. We are tackling this project in stages. Stage 1 is under the beds (pulling everything out), stripping the beds, and cleaning up the clothes dresser and closet. Anything not belonging in the dresser and closet will go in the box The box is part of stage 3. Stage 2 will be the LEGOs, Stage 3 will be sorting the box of "I don't know what this is, or why it was in the closet/drawers/under the bed." mess. Waiting on the water heater guy, because our water heater went out before showers this morning (always fun). Waiting on the pool people. Cleaning the kitchen, finish the shopping list and menu for the week. Errands (run fundraising paperwork grocery shop, pool for workout & fun, then swim practice tonight) Home and bed! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Went to the GP for referral to surgeon for follow up check. GP told me that with hemogloben of86 and how lightheaded I am that I shouldn't be walking without a stick. Took it easier today than yesterday. Not that I did much yesterday.

Faithr Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I've really been on the ball this a.m. At least for low energy me! I remembered that I wanted to go low carb this week while my vegetarian son is gone, so I ate some chicken sausage for breakfast. Usually I just drink too much coffee and graze all morning long on junk. I also have done two loads of laundry and I remembered I had to pay tuition for my dd's upcoming Biology class - so I wrote a check and got that out. And I started cleaning out my 17 yo's room. I told him while he was gone I was going to bless his room with a deep cleaning and reorganization. And I remembered that I have to run to Staples to get things copied for tomorrow's meeting. Also need to return overdue library book today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Got the kids to camp on time. They have a rule that if you're late, they won't let you in. They say you can reschedule, but our summer is completely booked, so my kids would be out of luck and no refund. So, we were the second last people, but we were on time. :) Miss E was worried that she'd have a rough time again, but I think this one will be very different, as long as she doesn't psych herself up with worry. Most likely she's having a great time already. :) Now I'm going to sneak a nap before I get back to work.

hjffkj Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I hope you feel better. Stay cool Thank you! I'm out of the first trimester and daily nausea and exhaustion have subsided! Now it's just random pregnancy aches that hold me back but nothing that knocks me out for an entire day anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjffkj Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 The entryway closet is such a bigger task than I thought it'd be! I'm scratching the computer room cleaning of the list to ensure the entryway done completely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get so badly sick each pg I end up in the hospital for hydration over and over. Being pg in the summer is so hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MomtoCandJ Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Gah!!!! Tried to take a short nap with dd2 but dd1 woke her up for no reason (well other than being a pain in my butt, she's on this thing where she does what she knows she isn't supposed to do and not listening. She has a friend that does this on purpose and said friend was here Saturday and I'm still trying to get dd1 back to normal. Said friend is no longer allowed here!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 The lessons for this week are planned. I got some work done my co-op classes and book club but need to do more. The third load of laundry is in the dryer. The meals are done. I still have bathing nephew to go tonight. It's a physical and mental workout bathing a 22 year old "man" who wants you to sing his own special version of "The Wheels on the Bus" the entire time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
