Good morning.  Today is opening day of the fall season of our Little League.  DH is president so that means I have to help him pretty much all stinking day long at the concession stand.  At least the kids don't have to help out this time.

 

-coffee

-concession stand (from about 8:30 am until 7:30 pm).  Grrrrrr.

-call with pediatrician at 2 pm to get details of school note for son's concussion

-remain Whole30 compliant while working in the concession stand

-collapse in a heap

 

ETA:  oh happy days!!  I may have gotten out of snack bar duty.  There are a bunch of kids there and my husband knows that while I am more than happy to help out I refuse to do it when the snack bar is full of other people's kids that I have to supervise (all they do is fight over who runs the register, LOL, and more than half of them do not know how to count back change to save their lives).  So that leaves me free to:

 

-do laundry

-plan next few weeks of school

-call LEGOLAND for homeschool tickets next week

-go through my hurricane food and replenish/see what needs to be added/make a spreadsheet of expiration dates of stuff

-clean out a shelf in the storage room

Going on an edible garden tour - if you've ever heard of Jake Mace (find him on YouTube), 

he lives not too far from me and does tutorials a couple of times a year on how he turned his

backyard into an edible garden, including fruit-bearing trees! It's beautiful!

 

Then possibly going to a local library for a seed exchange.

 

Early this afternoon, taking both kids to a friends house to play with her kids, while she and I chat.

 

This evening I may make some salt/sugar scrub gifts that I'll be giving to our Womens Ministry leaders 

next weekend at our retreat.

 

UPDATE to last statement: I may take a nap instead!

The day morphed and changed. So here is the revised version.

 

Dropped DH off at work

 

Went grocery shopping at multiple stores.

 

Home for breakfast

 

DD4 wants to go to a book sale going on in a neighboring town.

 

Go to DH work so we can have a family lunch.

 

Back home to put dinner in crock pot and light housekeeping.

 

Pick DH up

 

DH puts DD to bed.

 

Grown up time

He settled down some. Another go in two weeks. Hopefully he will be more relaxed next time. She did get to see a bit of what he is often like, though.

 

Interesting how many of the evaluation tools are school based. Some homeschool grad needs to develop assessment tools which assume a home learning environment rather than an institutional one.

 

Laundry running

Bathrooms clean

Dd has done her school work

Headed to the grocery and maybe get a haircut

Good day so far.

  • Slept like normal people.
  • Kids to first volleyball game of the season.  Chatted with a mom friend.
  • Finished our latest audiobook while driving.
  • Kids to horse riding.  Tried to work, but mostly ended up chatting.
  • Lunch out (instead of our Friday dinner) - Olive Garden.
  • Kids went shopping with Aunties, something I prefer to avoid.  :)
  • I stopped at the library and picked up some audiobooks.
  • Due to a suspicious odor in my car, I decided to clean it out.  I'm always amazed at how fast it gets trashed.
  • Put away a bunch of clutter and cleaned the kitchen.
  • A little reading.
  • Work.

To do:

  • Lots more work.
  • Laundry.
  • Kids are supposed to do part of their homework / music practice.
  • Kids showered & to bed; read-aloud.
