Good morning! dd2 and I got back last night. I am glad to be home, although I have mountains of laundry, mail, packages stacked high, chores. It is a little stressful, not going to lie. I already took dd2 to school, she is a little stress ball, finals start tomorrow for her and although she did lots of work at the meet, she still missed 4 days. The boys had a pretty boring time, though ds3 did win his tennis tournament yesterday! So I plan to talk with them a lot today.

 

To do:

laundry, laundry, laundry

The house is pretty clean (thanks boys-but no one did the bathrooms :lol: )

daily chores

bills

open the packages and start wrapping

order a couple more things

ds3-guitar lesson

ds2- discuss some lessons learned this semester (mostly scheduling-not bad, just typical boy stuff)

take ds3 to tennis

pick up dd2- try to feed and de-stress her (no practice today-coach orders)

take ds2 to aikido

figure out some dinner

pick up ds3

pick up ds2

 

Have a great day!

I hope that you are feeling ok, Jean.  And welcome back Jen!  It is so cold down here in FL - I think we may have to put the heat on. I think we've done that once in the 5 years we've been here.

 

-coffee

-DS16 off to school with his 3 tests today (a week before finals, he has 3 tests today and 1 tomorrow.  I hate that)

-Ds13 to doctor (has some nasty rash on his trunk - big round circles #gross)

-school with DS13 (got 4 subjects done before doctor) including WTMA writing at noon

-workout (must get back to this)

-make marinade for london broil for dinner tonight

-decorate tree and mantle

-laundry (at least for DS13)

-straighten up kitchen after my weekend Whole30 batch cooking extravaganza

-make some whole30 compliant potato salad

-read and relax - TOO MUCH OF THIS

Pink - I'm just going for a check up.  No biggie.

 

human care done

pet care done including piling the dog.  Though one of her pill bottles has disappeared.  Fortunately she's on the same med and same dosage as me so I gave her one of my pills until we can find her bottle again. 

medical care done

 

Need to reboot the dishwasher before heading to the Big City.

Tons of filing done and heaps of paper sent to recycle/shredder.

Reset the table with clean linens.

Bed linens in the laundry now. 

 

Ds' temp is down with tylenol, but he is clearly not his usual energetic self. He's sipping apple juice and watching Harry Potter movies.

 

Next up:

lunch

grocery

It's snowing here - so pretty! I'm watching my horses play in the snow as I sit at my desk and pay bills.

 

AT&T is our landline provider for our business phone. Last month, they sent us a bill for $262.00, which is waaay more than it should have been according to our plan. Dh spent at least an hour on the phone with them and they were apologetic, said it was a mistake and our account would be credited. Well, we just got this month's bill and it is $454.00! Dh is on the phone with them right now and this is what he looks like:  :cursing:  :angry:  :banghead:

Ugh.  My parents had a similar problem with their cable bill (not AT&T).  My poor father was on the phone for over 4 hours.  Good luck getting it straightened out!

I "fell asleep" last night in the wee hours - kept getting that dizzy "gonna pass out" feeling, so I decided to "take a nap."  You know how that usually ends.  Got up about 6:30 cussing and throwing things.  So much for meeting my commitments.

 

I did finally finish the big report about 2pm, which is when the conference call regarding the same project started.  Finally pulled my head out of that mess around 3pm.  I haven't done anything else all day.  Now I need to get a couple things done before close of business Central time.  Wish I could just quit for the day.

Laundry still going, guitar lesson done, quick trip to get wrapping paper, etc, picked up my new glasses (progressive lenses, sigh), now I am trying to get used to them at home. 

ds2 has a bad cold, so no aikido. Just rest and study for his final tomorrow.

 

The afternoon cleared up pretty nicely for me. I will wrap presents after I drop off ds3 and pick up dd2.

 

No snow here, sunny, dry and 60 degrees!

1 load of laundry washed

 

Had my check up.

 

I got my first flu shot in 25 years today. I had a bad reaction 25 years ago and avoided them afterwards. But this year the news I am hearing locally about how bad a flu season it is caused me to decide to try it anyway. It’s been an hour and I am fine. Not even much pain in my arm so far.

 

Had lunch with Dd at a gluten free cafe.

 

Went to Best Buy to replace charging cables that the bunnies destroyed. One of the cables is the wrong one. [emoji20]

We turned around and went back to Best Buy and I got the right charger to replace the one that Bailey (aka Fang) bit through - and stopped at Trader Joe's for "fast food" (aka gluten free food that I can just pop in the oven).  I'm tired but my vaccined arm still feels fine - or at least no more achy than it does every day of the year.

 

Oh and I put one load in the dryer and put a second load in the washer.

Got my mom and dd to the piano recital and now back home with ds. 2 hrs of driving - yuck. 

 

My cough is worse. I am now having pain in my left side/chest when I cough.

Ds' fever is back to over 100, with tylenol. Possibly seeing the doc tomorrow.

 

Dd is way, way behind on her work and has three things to finish before tutorial tomorrow. No how can she do more than 30 minutes worth tonight or tomorrow morning. 

Oh well, she has to learn sometime. Better in 7th than in 9th grade! 

 

Bath towels almost done in the dryer.

Well, I decided not to work in the car, but to go shopping.  I went to a little place that has a Lowe's, a Malley's and a Target all in a row.  Figured I'd grab some dopey gifts for the people I don't know well enough to buy for, and some stocking sfuffers / candy for my brats.  Well funny thing, I was in Target and I had about $200 worth of Lowes and Malleys in my cart as I browsed.  I walked away from the cart at one point without realizing it, then later thought someone else had accidentally taken my cart instead of theirs.  It wasn't until I was checking out that I remembered my $200 of purchases were in there.  I went back and retraced my steps, and there it was, right where I had left it.  I think I need some sleep!

 

So I think I have pretty much what I need to finish Christmas.  Might need to pick up one or two things for boring people, but I can do that at Walgreens on my annual photo run.  So now the main thing I have to do (gift wise) is wrap.  Not sure when I will get time for that ...

 

Oh and when I got home, I started reviewing math homework and my kid comes out of the bathroom saying the toilet is leaking.  Turns out there is a huge crack in the toilet tank.  I don't even want to know how that happened.  I have never even heard of such a thing.  I cleaned it up and went back to checking math.  I am so sick of leaks and broken stuff.
