Desert Rat Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I'm with you, Jean. Today is still semi-lazy like yesterday was. I'm working on a conversation with someone who wants to buy something I have listed on etsy. I hope I can reach a compromise! I have to run through my school stuff and make sure all my ducks are in a row for Monday. Library in a little bit. I might go to Target. I have a $25 gift card to spend. Or maybe tomorrow. Might rearrange book shelves or toys. That anxious thing again. When I get anxious, I clean/organize. And I'm worried about tomorrow. I'm going over my friend's tomorrow to help him do the cards for his daughter. I'm worried how I will do. Maybe I'll hold on to that Target card and do some theraputic shopping after I'm done at his place. That's a good idea! Pizza tonight. Another quiet day and night at home. Love it!

MamaAkins Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 4:20pm. I did not anticipate spending an hour at the Sprint store having them look at my 3 day old iphone. I also did not plan on having to go back to the store later tonight when they finish resetting my phone. UGH! The store is a half hour trip each way from our house, so it has taken a big chunk out of my day.

shanvan Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 We planned on being gone most of the day, so not much at home got accomplished, but I know 2 elderly women who are very happy we didn't stay home today. Done: Made my bed packed piano music, cranberry bread, and photos to bring with us today got kids up and Dd in the shower by 8:30 (they have been sleeping in during break) packed our lunches to bring with us today and thus avoid spending money on eating out picked up my great uncle visited a retired missionary who is in a nursing home and saw a beautiful 100+ yr old quilt that belonged to her grandmother tried to visit another elderly church member, but she was not home yet...so... stopped in town at a book trader and looked around (too much pulp fiction, didn't find anything) returned to visit our elderly friend and play piano for her dropped great uncle off at home made sure kids took dogs outside to play checked emails To do: finish grooming our cocker spaniel--if I have enough energy - worked on him for 15 mins and had to stop dishes check to be sure Dd has packed her sewing for tomorrow's 4H meeting take kids to dog agility class after dinner Wasn't much of a list, but it's done for the most part and I am tired. I can retire to the couch now! TGIF! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 2 pm - Music class called on account of our digital piano refusing to work. Sigh. I don't know what is wrong with it but one of the wires is awfully hot. . . Dd is working on a project that doesn't need me. I am going to roll up my sleeves and tackle the cat's bathroom. Send for help if I don't check back in an hour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsheresomewhere Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Tore apart the master closet. During the process I got fed up and went to Home Depot. Thanks to about 45 bucks I built a nice wood closet organizer and shoe rack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithr Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Reading all your lists, I realize I just ignore the house most of the time. I was trying so hard to keep up on things but. . . . so, still to do Evening tidy up Figure out dinner. I ,er, forgot to plan for tonight's dinner. But I did: pray first thing watch a Teach. Co. lecture on Ralph Waldo Emerson with my 17 yo Do Religion and dictation with 11 and 14 yo 14 and 17 yo did math with tutor while I did math with 11 yo Did P.E. with 14 yo and went for a fast mile walk with him Reviewed Latin with 14 yo Took 14 yo to speech/reading therapist Read more of my 52 Book book :) In between all this I talked to my 20 yo home from college. I should do laundry and I was going to work more with 14 yo but I'm tired now. I think we'll do that tomorrow morning when he's fresh. He's taking ADD meds and when they wear off his tired and kind of moody anyway. So tomorrow would be an more optimum time. Thanks so much for this daily tackle thread. It really helps me.

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 3 pm - I'm taking a break from washing the bathroom ceiling and walls. It has been more challenging than I thought it would be because I've found some areas that were not sanded correctly and one area that needed to be repaired from when they made the bathroom. I thought about the "just slap paint over it" approach but that isn't how I roll. Darn perfectionism! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 OK - It is now 4 pm and I just can't get the oomph to get started again. I'm throwing in the towel. I still need to go to the Y for 2 1/2 hours tonight and I don't think I can if I push myself now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readinmom Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Well, I still feel crummy, so I'm not likely to get anything done today. I hope I don't get a rush of energy at 9 p.m. and then not sleep. :closedeyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 7:30 pm - Graded algebra 1 hour Zumba. I felt like I had more stamina today. It was a hard workout! Now - grading logic and Latin. Then dd has a swim test at 8 ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
