Good morning!  It is going to be a busy day!

 

To do:

Prayer

Clean kitchen

Make corned beef for homeless shelter-didn't get to this yesterday.  I might make two - we didn't get enough volunteers.

Drive dd to rehearsal - ask her brother to pick her up from it.

On way home stop by to pick up potting soil from compost guy

Pick up Irish soda bread

Couches are being delivered @11 (we got our old couches reupholstered - wicked expensive!)

Finish laundry I didn't finish yesterday

Rest for a bit

Pick up food from parish kitchen

Go to hypothermia shelter and be dinner captain.

 

 

My family is on their own for St. Patrick's Day evening.

Happy St Patrick's Day

 

First item on my agenda is to go back to sleep, lol. I really, really was looking forward to sleeping in today, but dd has an early morning track practice. It's 25 degrees out, ouch. Poor child! But she enjoys it.

 

Make Guinness Cake with cream cheese frosting. It's supposed to look like a glass of Guinness with white foam on top, but you'd never guess this without being told.

 

Make Cheddar-chive Guinness bread, which we like better than Irish soda bread. (Cake and bread recipes are from kitchn.com.)

 

Corned beef, colcannon, carrots, horseradish cream. Finish making napkin rings. We painted them green last night, have to add shamrock ribbon trim and then modge podge.

 

Faithr, I wanted to add that I admire what you are doing. It sounds as though you are making a wonderful evening for a lot of people. I hope you post about how it turns out, looking forward to details.

I’ve never joined this thread. I just list my goals for the day and report back later?

 

Get Kitchen cleaned up

Get boys’ rooms picked up

DH work clothes washed and hung up

Hello, welcome! No rules that I know of. Some people list everything, other just highlights. Some update during the day, others don't. So, whatever suits you is fine, I think. One quirk is that most posters generally try to like all the other posts, if they have time, lol. At least that is what I've noticed.

 

ETA

It's pretty common for someone's goal to be what they didn't get to the day before, lol.

Make vegetarian lasagna. What for a side dish with this? Besides bread. Making this for church friends who need meals right now, and for us.

 

Take dd to volunteer work.

 

Work last shift at consignment sale (Last one until the August sale.)

Good morning!

 

It's an icy morning here after a night of freezing rain. Walking out to the barn was treacherous! 

 

Dh and ds19 were supposed to have client meetings for most of the day, but they have been canceled due to the poor road conditions. They will spend the day working on our flooring project instead.

 

•place orders with Chewy and Stateline Tack

•order vitamins and supplements

•pick out several items for house (kitchen lights, appliances, mantle slab)

•figure out what we're eating for the next week and make a shopping list

•read and relax

•dinner: ?? I'd like to make sweet potato sushi burritos, but I'm low on produce and probably can't get to the store today. Maybe homemade pizza...

I don't know if any rules. I am not or miss getting on here but I love this thread.  

Love to see what others are doing (also gives me ideas and reminds me of things I need to do.

 

Also love we can not only post a to do list but a done list.  No one may actually care but it feels like they do.  Sometimes you just need that "hey someone cares I scrubbed a toilet or cleaned up the dump and go pile"

 

Today:

open windows and let house air

file stack of papers 

laundry

school planning

meal planning

clean bathrooms

out away dump & go pile

Good morning! Jean, I hope you feel better as the day goes by. I took ds2 to judo and am home with no set plans.

All I know is there will be no chores- because it is my birthday!

 

To do:

Lunch out with dh

Maybe a movie

Or beer at a bar with basketball

 

Not sure what else

 

Have a great day!

Somewhat productive and mostly peaceful day so far ...

  • Slept like normal people.
  • Got the kids up and threw some food at them.
  • Packed work & gear.
  • Kid 1 to horse riding.
  • Kid 2 to check out Gym World.
  • Kid 2 to check out a ninja course place.  (I went to the wrong place, but might have found a good fitness course for her anyway.)
  • Picked up Kid 1.
  • Both kids to TKD so they could finalize their form.  They got it done.
  • Sent out some work from my car while my kids were kicking.
  • Signed up for belt test and ordered some new gear for growing kids.
  • Lunch on the fly.
  • Bought the kids some hiking shoes for the school trip.  Not sure this is really needed, but that's what the teacher says so ....
  • Got gas.
  • Cleaned out the car.
  • Went through the mail.
  • A few other household things.
  • Did some reading.
  • Caught up on social media.
  • Signed up for a class for my kid, and did some more research.
  • Should be working now.

To do:

  • Work.
  • Calendar.
  • A little housework.
  • Pay the $200 ticket I got for not realizing I was in a school zone last Tuesday (automated camera ticket).
  • Whatever I'm forgetting.
  • Calendar?
  • Read-aloud?
  • Kids to bed.
  • Work.
