Alessandra Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I'm hoping for another relaxing day. I opted out of multi-hour chauffering suggestion. 😊 I actually got a lot done yesterday, despite having no goals in mind. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Good morning! Dh has an early meeting and the kids are sleeping in, so I'm enjoying some peace and quiet (well, except for my loud and rambunctious puppies). We had a big storm last night and the wind just howled all night long, but now it's a beautiful morning. So nice to see the sun for the first time in days. •plan my week •groom horses •place grain and bedding order •do some kitchen prep, use up the veggies in my fridge •restock fridge with bottled water •read & relax •dinner: creamy broccoli soup 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

readinmom Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) Morning, all! Yesterday was a complete wash. We got to the library, and dd decided to wait in the car. She learned an important driving lesson about draining the battery. We were stuck for 3 hours waiting for AAA. To do: church groceries for mom, visit Costco bookstore read, lesson plan Have a great day! Edited February 25, 2018 by readinmom 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Good afternoon! Our trip to the beach was good. My sister has decided she can't go to Disney yet without her son, so we are postponing that trip. We don't have dates yet, but I think it will be awhile. Thankfully, she won't lose any of the money she has paid. It's back to the old grindstone tomorrow. Done: church ate out lunch lesson plans for this week for ds took ds to practice at church started a load of laundry To Do: look over tutoring lessons for this week begin planning co-op writing classes for this week finish laundry eat leftovers/sandwiches watch a movie together tidy house 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Sunday school & church. Scrounged some food. Theoretically working. Kids made cookies; I had to taste them. :P Trying to get my kids to stop fooling around and do their homework. Eventually I need to do laundry. Whatever else I get done. Read-aloud? Kids to bed. Work. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandra Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Dd and I had a nice afternoon tea again today, teacups at a table, not mugs taken elsewhere. Much better. It's cold and rainy, so we used a pretty English china with various game birds on it. And I made crumpets for the first time, not difficult. But I need to find a better recipe. They were a bit dense inside, whatever cooking temp/speed I tried. Because of trying different temps, we had to eat four each. 😉 I don't need the calories or carbs, but it was fun. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Ladies, I hate perimenopause. I say that because my migraine, the one that made the right side of my head throb for two days, is now returning on the left side. And my anxiety is through the roof. Urgh. I swear, in my next life I'm coming back as a male. :cursing: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandra Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) Well, I put away the crumpet batter after tea. I did not think it would rise in the refrigerator, but it pushed off the tight fitting lid of the storage container, rose up with the lid still on top like a hat, and sent cascades of extra batter down through successive shelves of the refrigerator. My bread dough does not rise when it's cold, but the crumpet dough has a mind of its own. Selkie, feel better.
