  6. 7pm update: DD6's orthopedic appt took a little longer than I had planned, but she has a new (skinnier) cast. That should make it easier to get clothes over the cast! She also has the ability to move her fingers a little more than in the previous cast. I totally goofed on my calendar and did not have an extra daycare child for two days this week, as I had previously thought. It made for a slightly easier day (although I am out two days of pay). prep dinner orthopedic appt for dd6 (praying that they change her cast and put on a smaller one) dd16 - Govt class (9-10:30) school dd6: phonics, math, spelling, reading dd9: WWE/FLL, MUS, TT, hw, ds: English, TT, science, Spanish hw history (together) grocery store - our fridge is looking empty & pitiful 1 load of laundry bake pumpkin bread or muffins go through pile of magazines and recycle what I'm not keeping household chores (dust, sweep, mop, vacuum upstairs, wipe down kitchen & bathroom counters) dd6 - dance class (4-5pm)...it's observation week, so I'll be staying for the class dd16 - dance classes (4:30-8:45pm) ds & dh - Boy Scouts (service project before meeting) 6:30-9pm At some point, I need to make time to take the kids shoe shopping (as the seasons change, I'm finding that they have outgrown most of their shoes). I also need to take 3 out of the 4 shopping for pants.
  7. I need a longer weekend! extra daycare child today (8-3:30) prep dinner (crockpot?) orthopedic appt for dd6 (praying that they change her cast and put on a smaller one) dd16 - Govt class (9-10:30) school dd6: phonics, math, spelling, reading dd9: WWE/FLL, MUS, TT, hw, ds: English, TT, science, Spanish hw history (together) grocery store - our fridge is looking empty & pitiful 1 load of laundry bake pumpkin bread or muffins go through pile of magazines and recycle what I'm not keeping household chores (dust, sweep, mop, vacuum upstairs, wipe down kitchen & bathroom counters) dd6 - dance class (4-5pm)...it's observation week, so I'll be staying for the class dd16 - dance classes (4:30-8:45pm) ds & dh - Boy Scouts (service project before meeting) 6:30-9pm At some point, I need to make time to take the kids shoe shopping (as the seasons change, I'm finding that they have outgrown most of their shoes). I also need to take 3 out of the 4 shopping for pants.
  8. I'm going to seize the weekend. We need some fun! DD16 is off at a dance weekend--lots of classes and performances. It's only about an hour away, so she'll come home this evening and go back for tomorrow's events. DH is running a 5K this morning. DD9 has a soccer game this morning. DD6 can't play in her last game this morning (broken arm), but will be going to cheer on her team and to attend the "awards ceremony." After these morning events, we will try to reconvene at home for lunch and then to find something fun to do. We may take the kids to a corn maze or pumpkin farm, if the weather holds out. I do need to make sure the following things get done around the house: 2 loads of laundry,sweep/vacuum, wipe down kitchen counters & bathrooms, load & run the dishwasher, move all of our frozen items out of our old deep freezer and into the new one that was delivered yesterday. I do have to work tonight (8pm-midnight).

  21. 2:45pm update The early morning rising, in combination with the steady rain, has made it difficult to be as productive as I had planned today. We have not done much school today (mostly independent subjects). However, I did "help" the girls clean their room....and then I purged even more "stuff" once they were done! We are now getting ready for dance classes, dinner, Boy Scouts, and Girl Scouts. I am really sleepy and hope that I get a "second wind" soon! Too bad I don't like coffee--I certainly need the caffeine!
  22. I've been up since 5:30am and I am really not that much of an early-morning fan! It's going to be a looong day!
