Spring Break! A day trip to the U.S. Space and Rocket Ctr., a morning at the used bookstore, an all day hike at the park, breakfast at the Waffle House, watchin a movie or two, maybe a couple days to sleep in. Less driving and more sunlight!

Yes! It made me so happy to see my labrador retrieving. She was so thrilled to bring back the ball, every.single.time!

Mine is the name of the dog in my avatar pic. I've had many dogs, but she was the best. I still miss her. And I live in TN.

Dd frittered away her morning, so now is spending the whole afternoon and evening doing math that is due Monday morning. Maybe one day she will listen to my suggestions about how to manage her time? Wondering if she's going to get a spring break. It may take her the whole time to do her homework. Housework isn't done yet. Dh isn't home yet. He had to go to a funeral out of town. I don't feel like making dinner. Just want to curl up with a book. Too tired to do AHG work. Need a brain and some energy for that. Scout store was closed, so I'll have to go back next week.

Good morning! Selkie, one of our local parks has an owl trail that loops through an area where the barred owls can often be seem and heard, even in daylight. Today: Tidy ds' room and put away his laundry before he come home. He does an ok job of these things, but it really helps if I restore mom-order every so often! Recycle glass! ✅ Write an important letter. General house tidying and make kids do their chores. ✅ Get storage unit prices. ✅ Lunch with mom and help her with moving prep. Bring ds home with me. ✅ Trader Joe's, bookstore, and Scout store. ✅ Church prep ✅ AHG badge prep? Library? ✅ Watch a movie after dinner? Dinner is Tikki Masala, rice, and roasted cauliflower. ✅

Watched Angelina Stanford's class. Made brownies. Had a yummy dinner. Ate a brownie with ice cream. My body will not be happy tomorrow, but it was SO delicious! Signed Ds up for some fun stuff at our Nature Center. Working on Spring Break plans next. Day trip to the Rocket ctr. in Huntsville, breakfast at Waffle House followed by trip to McKay, a day hiking at the park, a day to sleep late and do nothing, a day for dd to hang out with friends, a Sundy school party, another trip to see the Impressionist exhibit that we saw today, a few hours to clean the house and pay bills. Mostly waiting for Dh and Dd to get home. Tired of my empty house. I rather like it during the day, but not at night.

Dropped off kids and food. Got in and out of Walmart (just the small neighborhood market, not the huge superstore!) and home in good time. For now, I am steadfastly ignoring a heap of laundry that needs to be folded and the folded stacks on the sofa that need to be put away. Not going to tidy Ds' room. Toodling around the web doing some planning research for next year. Next up: watch a webinar and heat up some dinner. Chx and white bean chili, yumm!

Makes DE look more attractive to me. Esp since it is free/very inexpensive in my state.

My hound mix hunts and digs up moles all the time and it hasn't changed his disposition around other animals or people.

Home from the museum. Resting. Next up: RA Church to drop off dd for a youth event and also to drop off some food for tomorrow's Habitat build. Ds to my mom's. Be home by myself for a couple hours. What to do?!

Oh, I hate days like that and I'm sorry you are having one!!

This!

I love this thread. Today is the first time I've opened it on my laptop instead of my phone. Funnier on the bigger screen somehow.

Haha! I fed mine today too.

My guys are off to Scouts. Done: AHG badge planning, texting with the board, and paperwork for Dd. Cleaned up dinner, mostly. Got dd on task. Next up: Off to the store b/c we are out of shampoo! Think about tomorrow. Read and relax.

Jean, I hope your Dd is ok. Ice is terrible! Margaret, sorry you are sick! Get some rest? Sunny here too, but rough day with Ds. Last February was horrible too. Wondering if there is a vitamin D issue? May have him use my Happy Light for a few days when he reads in the morning, to see if it has any effect. School with Ds is done. Dd is still working and has tons lift to do. Swim practice is cancelled because the pool is closed due to flooding complications. But we didn't find out until we drove over there, so 30 minutes of pointless driving. Bake sale goods are ready for Dd to take tomorrow. Ds is playing outside. Next up: unload the dishwasher dinner prep start laundry draft a letter/email, but don't send it yet (this is a stressful thing, an unpleasant situation to deal with) organize English section of my planner too tired for this. clean out a bathroom cabinet think about tomorrow Dinner is pork chops, broccoli, and roasted butternut squash.
