Audrey Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I'm out for the day. :( I went to the doc for a revisit on my ankle and promptly fell on my tailbone as soon as I got out of the car. I'm okay, but bruised and sore as all get out. This is awful weather for ice and falling as we've had slightly warmer, sunny days, so snow melts and rooflines drip and then it drop below -10°C again and everything is ice. *sigh* I'm sending dh off to do the grocery shopping. I'm going to catch up on paperwork. Ds just started his math test and then he's done for the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I'm better today! Hurray! It feels amazing to not be sick. Done: Hair (see above. I feel better! I did my hair all purdy) Everyone is up and showered and fed. This is a feat today. School: tests administered. All did fine or almost fine. ;) Ds9 redid is no-effort given assignement for yesterday and finished the book assignment for yesterday. Things fall through the cracks when Mom is sick. Filing is done enough. General tidying and straightening. Beds made, dishes done. Doing: Packing snacks, cameras and necessities for Ds9's very first archery competition today. Woot! Dh just got home, so lunch is up next. To Do: Ds12's friend will be dropped off shortly to accompany us to the shoot. So will my BIL. And....Enjoy watching my boy compete this afternoon! We're all pretty excited. He's more than a little nervous. We'll be eating at a restaurant after the tournament today. That's a rare treat, too. And my mom and brother will join us. We're using this competition as an excuse to party. LOL I think we're all a little tired of being sad. Time to move on.....a little at least. Glad to hear your dad's surgery went well, Jean!

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Audrey - I'm so sorry that you fell again. Ouch! Kalah - why do I have the picture in my mind that doing your hair involved a blue rinse and a set like your avatar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I would love a blue rinse! It actually looks a bit like Slocumb today! Curly with a kickin' new bow that I found on etsy. It's actually a headband with a wire in it. Ingenious! I'm not brave enough for all her rinses though. :) Thanks for the smile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night at orchestra rehearsal was the worst, but for some reason I perked up a bit after drinking some root beer during break. Probably shouldn't have gone.

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Zumba done. Talked to Y staff at length about problems we've been having with disruptive teens. We're getting a handle on the problem but it's been a bit stressful. I had a personal record today and led two songs in a row and didn't get confused at all while leading them! (I know that is braggy but I'm really proud of myself.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Rat Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 My to do list is done. We just got back from the archery tournament with a tired but proud little man. He scored 161 (out of a possible 300). It isn't his best, but the experience was more important and it was a good one. He was afraid of shooting all zeroes. And he didn't. :) The best part for me was running into his old coach. This kid helped him shoot for 2 years. Then he left the shop we practice in and is currently opening his own place. Anyway, he saw how nervous he was and talked to him for about 10 minutes. Not tips or coaching. Just encouragement and support. It was so awesome! And it really made the difference. It was new experience for all of us. We shoot again tomorrow at 7am. That will be all on my to-do list tomorrow. :) Have a great Saturday, All. Jean, I hope your dad is continuing to do well after his surgery. Audrey, I wish you a fall-free Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
