joannqn Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Make dairy less, banana less smoothie and see how it goes The smoothie I make has about 3/4 cups grape juice (100% of course), a handful of spinach, 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, and 3 chunks of frozen pineapple. I add 2 strawberries to mine and a banana, if I have one. The banana isn't necessary though. As far as tackling, we...

Mom in High Heels Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I don't feel like I accomplished anything and my house shows it! Done: Took Dutch outside for a short walk B'fast Went to get our train tickets for Paris, only to find out they were $500, so we're going to drive Had our tickets to go back to the US changed to an earlier date for various reasons Went to the bakery and ate a rosininbrotchen (a non-sweet raisin bread) because I waited 2 hours at the travel office Went to the PO and of course the day I'm on foot I have 4 packages-fortunately, 3 of them were small and they were all light, so I made it home Lunch Took Dutch out Surfed the interwebs and stared at the dirty dishes on the counter with hatred Nap Dinner Tried to install European maps in my GPS system in my new car-didn't work, so I cursed quite a bit and even got colorful with my verbiage Played with Han Solo Put Han Solo to bed amid much "No Mommy! No bed! I play!" because we pulled out all of Indy's toy cars from the Cars movie and he wanted to keep playing-note to self, all new toys are to be given only in the morning, and not 2 hours before bed-he did go down easily once we removed him from the area where they were-whew! Watched 2 episodes of Psych that we haven't seen Looked up hotels for when Indy and I go to the Star Wars Con next month (didn't book though) Loaded the dishes in the dishwasher and ran it (I gave them all the stink eye while doing so) Read And now I'm surfing the interwebs again, even though it's closing in on midnight and I need to go to bed. Oh, and the ONE THING I desperately needed to do today I totally forgot to do. I needed to pick up my allergy meds, because I took the last of them this morning and did I? No, no I did not. Sigh. Tomorrow morning is going to be rough until I get to the pharmacy. So, I didn't so much tackle Thursday as get smacked around by it. Don't worry, I gave Thursday the stink eye too.

Tomorrow claim gets filed and he is arranging for ds9 to see a specialist to determine long term implications of his injury and find out why he still has so much pain in the leg. Tuesday marks 2 years since the accident and he still needs motrin 2-3 times a week to cope with the pain in the leg. Now enjoying a cup of coffee and then onto cook dinner and finish cleaning the kitchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Hey, it's "late", Jean - did you sleep better last night?

Dh is taking a walk with the kids. My back is hurting from bending over the counter making 25 DOZEN meatballs. But they are done and gluten free and everyone liked them at dinner, which is a blessing right there. Plus, I have them ready for several meals to come which is always a help.

joannqn Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Made eight half pints of strawberry jam. It's my first time ever making jam or canning. They popped and appeared to be sealed, but I'll to the proper checking tomorrow after 24 hours like I'm suppose to. DD13 helped make the next batch of eight more jars. Later DS11 will help make the last batch of eight jars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
