Woke up with puppy.

Threw on a few clothes.

Took puppy out into the freezing cold and watched her pee and poop [emoji90].

Came in. In the few minutes it took me to make my bed she pooped again. Sigh. But fortunately she chose a vinyl floor. Cleaned that up.

 

Fed the puppy.

Now it is playtime while I watch diligently for signs that I need to rush her outside In a few minutes I am going to take (finishing typing outside where we rushed just in time. )

Kids are off school today, so I slept in, which was lovely.  It's still a working day for me, but my clients are banks, nonprofits, and government, so it should be pretty quiet.  The auditors will be busy though.  :P  Don't worry, I have plenty of work!

  • Slept in.
  • Texted with kids' driver.
  • Told kids what they need to do today.
  • Got some coffee.
  • A little exercise and reading and washed some dishes.
  • Getting caught up on social media.

To do:

  • Lots of "work" work.
  • Make the kids do their stuff.
  • Laundry and some more house cleaning.
  • Pay some bills.
  • Update calendars.
  • Read-aloud.
  • Kids to bed.
  • Work.

Well, Ds' first round of cake stuck to the pan and came out as crumbles. Argh! Never had that problem before. 

 

Second try is cooling in pans now.

 

Eta:

Woohoo! Came right out.  :hurray:

Showing my Ds how to be calm and try again when something doesn't work the first time. Possibly more important than multiplication lesson and literature reading he did today.  ;)  :D

 

The cake is supposed to look like a campfire when it is done. I'll post a pic later.

Oh, and Dh and dd puppy sat for me so that I could get a shower.  I have taken her into the bathroom with me while I shower so she doesn't pee or poop on anything while I'm occupied but she whines the whole time and it stresses me out!

 

I have loaded the dishwasher.  Now I need to run it.

 

And I need to do my laundry thing.

 

Having a new fur baby and having dh home today is totally messing up my schedule.

Juliet is chomping on Lambchop. 

 

I have started the dishwasher.

I have brought the garbage bins and recycling bin up from the curb.

I have put the overflow that wouldn't fit for this morning's pick up in the recycle bin.

I have done some more  black berry slashing while Juliet ran around and did her business.

I saved my puppet theater from dh's great Schoolroom of Doom Purge of 2018.  (To a resigned sigh from him and an "I told ya so" from dd.)

Scout, the biggest problem I have found is that the file can't be big. I have opened pictures up in Paint to resize them to load here. 

 

I only know how to do this from a computer not a phone.

I hope this helps!

Hi everyone! I am back from the trip which went well. Ds2 and I left super early and definitely missed most of the bad weather. It is snowing and we have about 3 inches of powder, but the road are very slick and starting to be snow packed.

Dd2 will be hoping for a snow day tomorrow!

 

Pink and Green, I hope the debut went well. Hs sports are more stressful than club, for sure.

 

Have a great night!

It poured nonstop today - a cold, hard rain. We got soaked to the skin doing both morning and evening chores. It's supposed to keep up for another 24 hours and then change over to freezing rain.

 

Between the weather and the joys of perimenopause, I'm ready to call it a day.

Ds remembered just in time that he still had swim tonight despite the holiday.  

 

We got a lot done in the garage today, but there's still more to go. We don't have any kind of outside building, so the garage ends up storing way too much. 

 

I got some of my bible study done while ds was swimming

 

Ds finished some school work but has more to do tomorrow.

 

Not much done in the house, though.
