Who's going to tackle Saturday with me?

I've been up all day & half the night trying to finish a stupid report.  Ugh.  I did send it out, along with some questions I need answered before I can finalize it.  Now I need to get some sleep before the morning alarms start ringing.

 

Kids are scheduled to ride horses Saturday morning.  Meanwhile I need to go to another town to pick up my daughter's Turkey Trot race package.  I tried picking it up last Wednesday when I was nearby, but it wasn't allowed - you have to come on the specific day they are at that specific location.  Annoying, as they are all far from my house.

 

I have lots of work, and I need to make the kids practice their instruments a lot since they are playing in church on Sunday.  I may or may not require them to also do some homework.

 

We are supposed to go to my sister's for dinner Saturday night.  I want to take some hand-me-downs along - some are packed, some aren't.

 

I had wanted to pack some Samaritan's Purse shoeboxes, but I don't think it's realistic with the other things I need to do.

 

I feel like I'm forgetting something.

To Do:

More coffee

Convinced excel to do most of what I needed it to for my report, I'll take the loss on the rest of the points since it's already late. 

 

This weekend: Regroup!

- need to sort through emails and see what I need to reply to

- work on school projects (it'd be great to get everything not time-limited done this weekend, since I can't do anything anyway)

- maybe tidy up my stuff a bit, things need put away and dusted

- maybe visit the grocery store (scooter! and snacks!)

- plan an archive visit for next week

- I sort of need to paint my nails

- Sort pictures, clean up social media, make some plans for self study, craft

 

 

Decided not to go into work Monday... I really can't get around on the crutches at all and I'm afraid I'll injure myself if I do more than vital.

 

Need to get some breakfast.

It's pretty nasty here today.  Glad I have an inside job.  :P  The kids are glad their horse trainer has an indoor arena.  :P

 

So far so good.  It took the kids a half hour to get out of bed, but I used the time to go through some old books and set aside some hand-me-downs for the nieces.  Dropped the kids off for horse riding and picked up the turkey trot stuff and some donuts.  Back home now, and I think I will take a nap before diving into work.

discussed a gift idea for dd's birthday.  Dh is going to research it some more because he's the shopper and I'm not (and don't want to be)

 

kitchen - emptied dishwasher and put stuff away.  Loaded dishwasher but haven't run it yet because it isn't full. 

 

laundry - folded one load of laundry and put it away.

 

school/ grading/ paperwork -  now that dd has finished her last two classes for 9th grade, I figured out her final grades and entered them on her transcript.

Gave the upstairs a thorough sweeping (so much lab fur...).

 

Did a little Christmas shopping online.

 

The kids got our entryway and front hall painted.

 

Cleaned all the horses' feet. It was too cold and mucky to get many outdoor chores done.

 

I've been ignoring my laundry pile all day and really should go get a load started.

 

Dh wants to get pizza for dinner.  :thumbup1:

4th load of laundry in

 

shopping done

 

Our shoeboxes are packed to take to church tomorrow (last day!), and online tracking labels are on them. We had a woman speak in our SS class who had lived in Romania in an orphanage and was the recipient of a box for Christmas. It was such a touching story that I think I will want to send boxes every year.
