Jean in Newcastle Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 TGIF everyone! Clean kitchen Laundry - sort everything from the hampers and do two loads. School specials: Ds15 - the week in review Dd11 - Science experiment grocery store to get what I need for the science experiment gas station since I'm running on fumes. Go to luthiers to get guitar and bandurria? Dd11 - volunteering tonight Me - grading swimming at the Y? Zumba? Not sure what my body can handle right now. Need a quiet moment to sit down with the calendar and figure some things out. Need another quiet moment to sit down with the finances and figure some things out.

Liz CA Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Is it really already Friday? Sitting around with 2nd cup of coffee listening to Italian operetta Contemplating taking the dog for a long walk before getting ready for work. Pretty boring, eh?

Susan in TN Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Whew. Friday already. I've been thinking about you this morning, Jean - how are you doing? To do today: Avoid sitting and worrying over things about which I can do nothing Finish decluttering kitchen cabinet Dishes Laundry Monitoring TOG Meeting DD to ballet class Reserve next week's read-aloud from the library Buy rabbit and hermit crab food Pick up ds from Mid-State Orchestra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amira Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Yes, how are you doing today, Jean? Today I've gotten the boys through school, made pumpkin bread, fed everyone lunch, finished organizing this week's service project, made dinner for the skiers, and I just sent most of the family skiing. I love that we can go skiing for PE. I still need to plan tomorrow's trip, start organizing next week's service project (I'm in charge of coordinating 40 hours of volunteer childcare for a woman at my church), download some ebooks and audiobooks for everyone in the family, do the dishes, find some sort of electrical engineering kit for my oldest son, and start preparing to speak in church next Sunday. And play with the five-year-old who's still home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Thank you to all of you who have asked how I am. I'm ok. I'm in a lot of pain still but my feet are a bit better so at least I can walk. I'm trying to put blinders on and focus on getting my work done even if it is 5 or 10 min. at a time. (And no, I'm not a masochist. Resting doesn't help so I'd at least like to get my chores done.) You can all chip in to commit me to the mental hospital - I just agreed to let my dd have a friend over for the weekend. The idea is that if she has someone to keep her busy that I won't have to be the one doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Smith Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I don't know what we are going to do. This morning we made sure to finish school this morning since a friend was suppose to come over swimming. I talked to his Mom on Wednesday and she said he may. He almost always comes swimming with us on Friday, has for weeks. But he didn't show. She I called, no answer. Kids ran over and knocked on his door, no answer. Now Eldest is grumpy since friend isn't here. So we aren't going swimming. That leaves us with a lot of time and no plans. (He usually plays at our house after swimming till dinner time. We might end up walking to town for shopping, but it's minus 20 out, and I don't really want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Smith Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Pretty boring, eh? Well this morning I felt a bit like a rebel. I always eat peanut butter toast on thin sliced white bread and a glass of water. But this morning I ate a bagel with cheese and tomatoes slices right on the bagel. :ohmy: I admit it did make me feel very adventurous (I did mention I put the tomato slices right on the bagel, the bagel that already had cheese on it. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to be adventurous! I'm sorry the friend bailed. I'm glad you're soldiering through, Jean. I would do the same. Sounds like everyone's having a pretty good day! Have a great weekend, too!

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Kitchen is clean. I'm going to give dd a spelling test and then we're going to the grocery store for our science experiment stuff - and an onion for the chicken adobo we're having for dinner.

mumto2 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Now I am going to sit in my armchair with my old fuzzy green blanket and a Mrs. Jeffries mystery. I am not done with my work but I need a break. Jean--I am glad you are improving a bit. I don't normally look at your daily thread but I wanted to know how you were. By the time you are starting my day is almost done--at least the productive part. So all your plans make me feel like a failure normally.;) I have a question about the Miss Jeffries mysteries. Would they be appropriate for dd14. She loves agatha christie etc. Basically she likes good clean mysteries, not fond of tEa scenes. Would these be good for her? Thanks!

Or. . . you could feel superior because you've done stuff before I've even rolled out of bed! Yes, Mrs. Jeffries would be great for your daughter. They are absolutely clean.

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 5 pm - laundry sorted and going finally. I'm getting ready for dinner, gas station and the Y in that order. I've decided to go swimming and see how my muscles and joints do with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
