Jean in Newcastle Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I'm just going to write down what I do as I do it. I don't think anything else is going to work right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Friday. Yay. (Trying to muster up some internal enthusiasm...) Done So Far: Breakfast Dd to music camp emails Stop at Parent-Teacher store Stop by the church - assembled bulletins, finished prep. & set-up S.S. craft supplies Lunch Irrigated eyes to try to relieve burning To Do: Kitchen. I don't' want to do this. Everything (not really) is covered in mushed-up blueberries Dishes. Ditto above comment. Figure out what to do with 1/2 bushel of peaches that aren't quite ripe Story Time Music practice w/kids More emails Pick up dd from music camp Dinner Irrigate eyes again Meal plan for next week Lunch - lettuce wraps, grapes Dinner - Quesadillas? or soup. Or something that doesn't require cooking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Done so far: Personal hygiene, dressing and all that stuff. I won't be embarrassed if the neighbors stop by! Made beds Animals are all cared for. The cat is wailing in angst but he does that sometimes for no discernible reason. Breakfast with no grains. Sigh. Couponing. A necessary evil. Got ds set up with his logic. Got dd set up with "The Jungle Book". She's complaining about the 'archaic language' but she will live. Next up: clean the kitchen. Hopefully my sister will answer the phone and it will make the time pass more quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 This is going to be pretty much a do-nothing day for me...dh and I "camped" overnight at the grand opening of Boudin Bakery to get a year's worth of free bread on Wed night - it was chilly and drizzly so I didn't get much sleep, plus there was a doozy of a car accident where I got to give first aid to the driver and wait for the ambulance to show up - guy will be OK but yikes...no one else wanted to check on him because they were sure he was going to be dead. :glare: So, trying to rest and recoup today although I have to take my dd to the dr later on this afternoon. Will probably do some laundry and school work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Wow, Sparkle. That was some night. I hope the injured man recovers quickly. Thank God you were there with your compassion and clear thinking. On a less serious note, I've never heard of getting free bread for a year. How does that work? 11:30 - Ds is done with his logic and has been assigned his Latin. Dd is done with her reading. I talked to my sister and got my kitchen clean and got the refrigerator cleaned out too. And I took my meds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 O:K - my head is spinning trying to figure out which one of the gazillion things on my mental list I should do next. So. . . laundry. We'll do laundry. I'm going to make dd get all the dirty clothes off her bedroom floor while we're at it. And per someone's suggestion on one of my allergy threads, it is time to do a very hot wash of all of ds's bedding again this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Matched socks and put them away. Ds's bedding is in the washer on the allergen setting. Dd and I "de-clothed" her bedroom floor. Her load is waiting its turn in the laundry room. Now - getting ready for a quick trip to the grocery store. Dd wants to make pancakes (which I can't have) for lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 New clean dry clothes have been brought up for me to fold. One load is done washing and is now in the dryer.

Or something that doesn't require cooking. It's 10 'til 5 and I still don't know what to make for dinner. Ordinarily I'd ask dh to pick up something cheap on the way home, but since we're eating gluten free for the time being, there's no such thing as "pick up cheap on the way home." Maybe we should have chef salad. Yes - that will do. I'll quick hard boil some eggs and cut up some leftover chicken. I have some gf tortilla chips, too.

I really should get a move on. It is 5 pm and I have to be at ds's job at 10pm to pick him up. So about 4.5 hours to get the list done.

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Playtime is over and I've cleaned the kitchen for a second time. I'm going to work a bit on my Bible camp lesson before starting to cook. I'm trying a "no 'mato" marinara sauce for myself tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 Made my Tomato Free Marinara sauce. Now I'm making the normal marinara sauce and the pasta. I'm just going to drop dd off at volunteering. I'm not going to Zumba. I know, I know, heresy. But I still don't feel tip-top. And I can't eat the regular pasta and so I have to make zucchini noodles - which won't take that long but will take longer than I have before Zumba starts. Having food allergies takes up a whole bunch of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 OK - I am such an idiot. I left to drop dd off at the Y and left the Tomato free marinara on the stove. I came home to the smell of burned beets and dh and my ds saying "What's burning?" :glare: Fortunately it was only burned on the bottom. It actually is very tasty! I had it on zucchini "noodles" which is doubly virtuous. But that's not what makes me an idiot. I had gf pancakes today at lunch so that I could join the kids in their pancake lunch. I never even thought to check to see if it was made with POTATO flour. I didn't check until I started to wonder why my pain was ramping up tonight. Sigh. Staying nightshade free is more difficult than I thought and being gf on top of it is going to kill me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
