nmoira Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Me, me, me. :D Meals, school. Maths lessons prep for rest of week. Continue to work on master biography list Figure out what to do about Latin... we're stalled and no one cares (including me), though DD the Elder wants to continue, maybe with a different program. We had a party on Saturday, so all the house needs now is a quick sweep and vacuum. Laundry - 2 loads Sort the last stash of the picture books for storage/donation/disposal Make a batch of breakfast muffins. Get produce and meat for the week, make marinade and marinate chicken for tomorrow. Tonight is out to pub trivia. We were sooooo close last week in a big field, coming back from the middle of the pack with a final question about Professor Cuthbert Calculus, only to lose by a smidge.

Lizzie in Ma Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Good afternoon! Got up and fed the feathered and furred. Thanks to my Mom's getting me a birdbath heater for my birthday, I no longer have to take 3 or 4 kettles of boiling water out to thaw out the birdbath, clean and refill it. Gotta say, very nice! Woke eldest up early for new meds protocol, day 2 and let her go back to sleep til 9. Hopeful. Made lunch for dh and a fresh pot of coffee that we promptly went through. Got stove going and brought in wood. Did some more straightening, vacuumed the living room and staircases, went over Chemistry with older dd for lab this afternoon. Making a ham for supper, need to figure out what to make with it. Maybe biscuits and peas? House looks lovely I must say. Kids did all their chores and school is done for youngest who is back downstairs playing new game. It is pretty fantastic. http://ninokunigame.com/ In my new quest to avoid reading something new, to avoid dealing with stressful things and avoid knitting a second sock to match the one I already made, I have reached 67.8 % completion on my Lego Lord of the Rings. Due to my yelling "Legolas, you rat bastard" one too many times, dh has suggested that perhaps I might try something else for a bit. ;) So I got out my Lego Harry Potter. Spent 3 hours writing intros to the scenes from Shakespeare recital in two weeks only to realize there is almost no way we can pull it off in two weeks. Panic has set in. Spent another hour writing a letter to kids and parents about costumes and props. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She hasn't done anything since Thursday! Arrrgh - I can just feel us getting behind... Anyway, today: I walked a mile, outside in the sun - beautiful day here! Did a load of laundry Bought extra computer paper and more groceries Revised course summaries and printed them out - they were due last week - oops! and that's about it. We are having easy heat up dinner tonight, so no cooking - yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
