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.

•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

Have a great day!

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

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.

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.

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!

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.
