We are now down at the library (only 5 min from our house) where it is raining instead of snowing like it is at our house on the hill. :I have organized all my school paperwork. Dd has finished her science reading. Her complaints about it were almost as long as the reading. . . She's now doing reading comprehension. Ds is working on his Augustine paper. Next up: Grade geometry, Latin, spelling and handwriting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I'm in such a grumpy, befuddled mood today...bah. Done so far - paid bills and put kids' coats in to wash/soak. Dinner is planned and easy to throw together, so my goal is to finish just one item and then hole myself up with a book or embroidery project. I think I'll go thorough the pantry and cabinet and find all my broken blender parts and throw away. Don't know why I still have them. Maybe I'll spend some time washing dishes by hand after dinner. The bubbly warm water tends to soothe my agitation. ("Queen of my tub I merrily sing while the white foam raises high...") :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 2:30 check - in Dh and dd (with a tiny bit of help from ds and I) have taken out the kitchen table. Then dh and dd mopped the kitchen floor. Then they assembled metal shelving the kitchen for me. It's pretty ugly but we can't afford a badly needed kitchen remodel and things were stacked in untidy boxes before because there just wasn't enough storage room. I was telling RC that my house has areas (including the kitchen) which is reminiscent of Hoarders. I don't hoard but years of being on Emergency Mode means that there are years of stuff that has piled up without being attended to. I want to thank all of you tacklers because having you tackle things beside me has made such a tremendous difference. I've had some health improvement in the past month - a noticeable increase in stamina - that has allowed me to start to power through stuff. But it is such a huge job that it is overwhelming. I had to stop dh this afternoon and make him understand that yes, we're getting to this stuff but I cannot get it all pretty all at once. There is just too much. I'm in pain now and if I don't stop for a while it will get worse. I am currently in the process of setting up my 2013 calendar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 7 pm - cleaned the kitchen for the last time today. I'm going to work a bit on clearing out the living room. Otherwise ds won't be able to do school in his usual spot tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRG Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 9:30 and I just got the kitchen cleaned. No grocery trip--it rained 3 inches here today. I will go tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 7:50 check in. The kitchen shelves are now loaded with everything we had dumped in the living room. Dd and I cleaned out a bunch of snack stuff that was just gross. Now stuff is easily reachable and hopefully will be much easier to keep up with. Latin tutor is here. I'm proud of myself because I figured out what ds had done wrong and she confirmed it! Going to get a tall cold glass of water and then work some more on the calendar.
