Joanne Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Actually, it was a productive day with little wasted time. That always corresponds with minimal computer time. In a couple of minutes, I'll be leaving to pick up an after school client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closeacademy Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I should be out helping dh put in the garden but I just finished up a game of Goober's Lab on Webkinz and I thought I would check in here before I go out. I did get the house ready for a birthday party though--so I didn't sit around and read these all day long.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Getting ready for bed......it's close to 11pm. But I LOVE this time of the day when the house is completely quiet and I can sit here without anyone needing anything of me....and there are still so many threads to read!

mommylaw Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Skiing. Ironically a spring snowstorm blew through last night and iced up the roads. It was too icy to head to the high country this morning. The 7 inches of snow has melted away and it's now nearly 50°. Whaaaa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrothead Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 With dh gone until tomorrow my time is my own since dd is outside playing with the neighbor kid. I've got other things I could be doing like folding laundry, vacuuming, cleaning up the fridge, cooking a real dinner instead of microwavable meals, etc. But nothing I should be doing.

Jami Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Whew, LEGO and Playmobil (and Polly Pockets, and Schleichs, and Cabbage Patch girls...) have been herded and contained. I showed great restraint with the trash bag. And the kids "ooh" and "ahh" at their sparkly clean rooms...which will be a mess again tomorrow no doubt. :glare: Now I suppose I should turn my attention to dinner, since these people want to eat *multiple* times a day. :tongue_smilie: I did pop off a chat message to dee-aitch (hat tip to Debra) requesting a lovely diet Coke (no scolding please) for my efforts and restraint. ;) Jami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elegantlion Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I just got up from my nap and am munching on animal crackers. it is the boys (dh and ds) night to cook, so I'm staying out of the dinner decisions. We've already had pizza this week, so who knows what we'll have. I can't do laundry because there is a clog in the drain line. Ds may have to wear, e-gads!, some of the clothes that are hanging in his closet that he doesn't like so much because all of the others are dirty. I'm supposed to be working on a summation of the Civil War for us to discuss in school tomorrow, don't wanna do it right now. I just got some ideas to fill in some plot holes in the story I am writing, so I'll mosey over to doing that next.

kristavws Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Well, our house is on the market, and someone is coming to look at it tomorrow, so I suppose, I should be further "decluttering" it. That said, I have now "decluttered" (is this even a word in the real world - that being the world outside of selling your house) to such a point that I don't even recognize my own house any more. Now, all I can think is - "who's house is this that I am cleaning up!" Please someone tell me that your house is on the market, and you too are living like this!
