Jean in Newcastle Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Ooops. I had a really hard time last night. I was in one of those annoyingly shallow "twilight" sleeps for much of the night. Then I really dropped off after 7 am and now it is after 9! :svengo: Clean kitchen Laundry - need to catch up on this today. **** major priority Pack for trip Put meds in little baggies. Don't forget toiletries. or swimsuits. (Make sure dd's swim suit is washed and dried after yesterday's swim lesson. I'm not sure what she did with it.) Need to find and fill out card to go with the wedding gift. Anything else? Maybe we might dabble in some school too. We'll see. Probably Zumba Dd - volunteering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom in High Heels Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I had a terrible night of sleep myself. Must be in the air. Done: Had a private little chat with Jean online-Hi Jean! :seeya: Took Dutch out for a short walk B'fast Took Han Solo to get a haircut-Oh the drama! The screaming! The begging and pleading! It was awful. His hair is shorter though, so that's good Went to the pharmacy to pick up my meds, which turned into a 2 hour ordeal as one of my meds was entered wrong and it took a million phone calls and visits to different depts in the hospital get it fixed Went to the PO Lunch Took Dutch out Made some phone calls re: our trip next week (trip planning is stressful) Ate some cookies Nap Ironed-IRONED! I hate ironing 1 load of laundry Dinner And that's about it. I had much more on my list, but that 2 hours at the hospital really threw me off, so, whatever. It's Friday.

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Hi Mom in High Heels! :seeya: What is it with all the sleepless nights? My neighbor just came over and I had to throw on a bathrobe and explain that we're on vacation today and aren't normally sitting around half dressed. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Late to the sleepless party today.

Appt. for dd14 Phonics with dd6 Instrument practice Clean off/out end table Dinner Lunch - mashed sweet potatoes, peaches Dinner - cream of broccoli soup, veggie chips Dd was kind enough to ride her bike to the church for her afternoon meeting so I wouldn't have to pack everyone up to take her.

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 12:30 - We have packed all pills - both a.m. and p.m.. It is sad that I have to have a separate line item for this but there it goes. We have folded and put away 3 loads of laundry while having a sock fight in which socks were grenades and special socks were bomb defusers. Yes - we are weird. I have no idea what the neighbors think. Dd and I are running down to Safeway for some hot dog buns. We have other errands but we'll have to waste time and energy and do that later because it is already lunch time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plath Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 For some reason, I keep adding stuff to my list. No clue why. At least my house is relatively clean for the time being... less for MIL to complain/comment on when she comes over. Sorry for all the lousy sleep everyone! It's an epidemic. I hope mine gets better when dh returns from his business trip. Only two more nights to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 OK - I'm going to put on the timer for 10 minutes and do a cleaning blitz. See ya in ten!

Went to Starbucks and got some coffee, hoping to stay awake. Ds and I watched video of all spells from Harry Potter on youtube. Did two loads of laundry. Yay!

Sparkle Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Yes, stay home with me, Jean. Somehow I ended up home all by myself. The kids are all off to Music Circus, dh went to a choir potluck, and my relatives aren't showing up until 10:30 or 11. I'm sitting here drinking a mocha frappe and kicking back.
