Selkie Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Good morning! I got up early this morning, gave Ollie a bath, and set him free from quarantine. I've never seen a puppy so overjoyed as he was to be back with his sister and buddies after almost two weeks of isolation. :) They've been wrestling and roughhousing for about two hours straight. •school •vacuum and dust •call UW vet hospital and check on horse (yesterday, the vet said he was enjoying soaking in their horse bath, which led to my dh grumbling about why the horse gets to go on a spa vacation and we don't ;) ) •more laundry •office work •repot 3 plants •go through Subscribe and Save •order a few things (tamari, sesame oil, soap, fly spray for horses) •finish picking out new light fixtures for our remodeling project •dinner: ?? maybe salad and baked potatoes Edited October 16, 2017 by Selkie 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Back in town! My own bed! I will start around midnight: Done: Got the pets back into their normal situation. Kids to bed. (They did sleep on the drive.) Cleaned out the van. Unpacked. 2 loads of laundry & sorted 2 more. Organized the stuff from the van. Shoes, jackets, birthday presents, water bottles, half-eaten food, candy, souvenirs, garbage, blankets, cell phones, chargers, garbage, papers, dirty socks, garbage .... Wiped out some particularly nasty messes in the van. Got the mail, sorted/processed it. Cleaned out my coat pockets. Reviewed kids' Monday homework. Cut my hair. A little reading. Slept about 5 hours. Got kids up & ready for school. Homework corrections. Sent kids to deliver neighbor's mail that was erroneously delivered to us. Drove kids to school since they missed the bus. (Not their fault this time.) Put air in my tires. Dropped off some dry cleaning. Cleaned out my car. Cleaned the kitchen, bathrooms, and some clutter. Caught up on social media. A little more reading. Started work. To do: Lots more work. Review some tax information to confirm we are done (extended deadline today). [done] Hope to do some yoga, maybe tinker with the piano since I'm home alone. Should make an appointment for my leaky tire. [done] Ordered some vitamins and a mattress from Amazon. [done] 2 more loads of laundry. Maybe make an appointment to meet the kids' science teacher. Still thinking. Might make a trip to the bank - not sure if I can fit it in. Figure out kids' horse riding for later this week. Pay some bills. FedEx drop-off. Kids' homework. Kids to gymnastics. Hope to walk while they play. Read-aloud? Kids to bed. Work. Whatever I'm forgetting. Edited October 16, 2017 by SKL 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nart Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Maybe this thread is the motivation I need to: 1a. Put the laundry away ( I am so excited I finished this one! I need to have my boys start sorting their own laundry now that I am completely caught up.) 1b. Wash comforters from boys' beds. 2. Organize paperwork. I am drowning in papers- I need to sort, shred, toss, and put away paperwork. 3. Organize books- We have way to many books and not enough bookshelves. I need to give away books that my kids have outgrown but I am having a hard time parting with books that were their favorites when they were preschoolers. Later today I also need to: -go to bank to deposit checks - return library books -return movies to Redbox - clean pool (it was really windy and a ton of leaves and dirt got blown into the pool) -water plants -take boys to soccer practice Edited October 16, 2017 by Nart 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 I'm starting out the day and week pretty stressed out. The only way I know to deal with that is to put on good music and to start crossing things off of my tackle list (since that is the source of my stress). human care done pet care done medical care done including the horrible liquid medicine with I forgot over the weekend causing me to go into pain again. I also "gained" 3 pounds overnight which I know is all inflammation since I am so achy that I can barely move. I was able to confirm the appointment I made to get the car brakes worked on for this morning. I realized after dh was up and out the door that I totally forgot to make his breakfast for him last night (that he heats up) Hopefully he figured something out. OK next: go through the mail. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I'm so sorry you are having it rough, Jean! grocery list and shopping done but didn't do for the whole week helped dd pack up and saw her off breakfast and lunch done some school done called the women's shelter and have a plan for the meal 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Not making lots of headway on my list. Ds was very difficult today for school. Kids have gone to visit a neighbor. Dd still has school to do. Light things, but still need to be done today. Meatloaf and squash are in the oven. Salad is from a bag, all I need to do is make dressing and cut tomatoes. I need to do the bills, but I don't want to. Just want to read a novel and relax. Next up: go get the kids back and set them to work on school or chores. Then tackle the bills/budget. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Annoying last minute change of pools/time for broken heater in one pool. So I came home and wonder of wonders, finished everything for my part of the Common App! :party: :party: last kid I have to do this for! Now, he just needs to finish his part-essay done, needs to be uploaded. Have late pickup for swim; dh will do even later pickup for aikido. Have a great day! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 Car is fixed. School amazingly got done "good enough" (there is some math that we got stuck on but I don't have the time yet to get unstuck) Paid half the bills. ! am on hold to try and get a snafu untangled. I'm pretty grumpy about this. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Jean, hoping the snafu is officially untangled! We are back from swim. Dh was able to go with me, so we walked on campus. Ds swims at a nearby college during the school year. The weather was perfect, a little bit of fall crispness in the air! I've got to look over my math lessons for my students tomorrow, and then I'm going to continue watching season 6 of Call the MIdwife. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
