Jean in Newcastle Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 11 ish - dd is done with science. Ds is done with guitar. Ds is now working on Latin. I got a pillow and some blankets put away. This was not as easy as it sounds because I had to take a whole bunch of boxes out of the closet first just so I could get them into the right bin - which is why they've been sitting there for a week waiting for me to actually do it. But now it's done! Laundry is sorted and the first load is chugging along in happy soapiness. Next up: Work with dd on spelling and Japanese. I'd love to keep my momentum going on the house but I guess this teacher gig is important too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Thanks Jean, I had no idea what it was. Makes sense now.

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Almost 1 pm. Lunch is cooking and none too soon. I am almost dead but I think some lunch will revive me. Spelling and Japanese with dd is done. Ds is done with geometry and is almost done with Latin. Dd and I put a second coat on the cat's bathroom ceiling. Then I painted the trim the same color as the ceiling. The color which looks very lovely on the ceiling, looks pukey on the trim. I'm not sure if it's just because it needs a second coat or not. If it still looks bad after the second coat I'll paint it the same color as the walls (which are darker). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Right, it's nearing on 12pm, but the family is still away, have a half load of laundry almost ready for the line and that will be all done. Fold yesterday's washing and put it away Make breakfast in bed for DD2 Herd family out of the house Do a couple of loads of laundry and hang them out Sort out the dining room cupboard Sort out the corner in the dining room Sort out school work for the next nine weeks or so Sort dinner Go fishing with the family later Tie up the tomato plants with DH Vacuum so it is done for bbq visitors tomorrow Make the spare bed with clean sheets I tricked the blossoms before they went out and said do ten minutes in your rooms, so the rooms are almost all tidy again. It is amazing how little time these things take, but seem so daunting when you look at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithr Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Got community college stuff done, but didn't get haircuts done. My 17 yo looks so shaggy, it is driving me crazy. Still haven't done the next load of laundry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 OK - I've crashed big time. I've slept for an hour. I can barely move. My kids have gotten me food and water and I was able to get over here to the computer. This is only half of where I need to get to. I have to go to the grocery store - I don't have anything for dinner if I don't. And we need to leave for volunteering after that. OK - I'm going to put on my shoes. One step at a time. . .

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 5 pm - grocery shopping done. Shrimp scampi is being cooked. A pre-made salad from the grocery store is on the table. Dh came in, took one look and me and said "I thought you were heading for a crash." Got to leave for my dd's volunteering in 20 min. I get to sit and stare at nothing if I want. But I'll probably go to my Zumba happy place. Might not be the best place for my adrenals though. We'll see how I feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRG Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I did everything but dust--I knew it wasn't going to happen ;) I did an extra load of laundry because the boys played outside and by that I mean the 2 year old pretty much rolled around in the mud(remember all that rain we had the other day?). He was covered from head to toe. There was mud(and I mean real mud) in his diaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I'm coming in very late. I love this thread because it always inspires me to find "just one little extra thing" to accomplish. Done Today: Happy Birthday Breakfast for dd4 (is it possible that my baby is 4yo?) :001_wub: Cleaned off lotion that was spread all over bathroom mirror (as accomplished by newly 4yodd) Cooked, pureed, & froze Halloween & garden pumpkins (yes, they've been on my kitchen counter that long) Cleaned pumpkin seeds and set out to dry for planting next summer Supervised the removal of cardboard boxes, lumber, and bubblewrap from the stream out back (perpetrators - 6yo and 10yo dds.) Lunch Bank, grocery store, gas Food co-op pickup Wrote a pretty scale and arpeggio arrangement to teach the youngers (2 violins and cello) Still to do: Listen to some Santana while finding a new home for my cluttery kitchen counter paper catcher. Modify embroidery pattern Finish reading The Passage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 8 pm report - Went to my Zumba Happy Place. I didn't lead anything today so that helps save some energy. Took my instructor friend home so that she wouldn't have to walk in 29 degree weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 It's 10.15pm and I'm going to bed. I will vacuum in the morning, but that's a fairly good list done today. I'm pleased with all I've done today and had a great evening out with my family.
