Done: B'fast Play with Han Solo Nap (because my allergies kept me up all night) Dr. appt Post office Swept all the gunk that has accumulated under our furniture (how does so much dirt and dust get under furniture that sits directly on the floor???) Lunch Surfed the web Pulled out all the kitchenware that I set aside (we tossed everything into the laundry room so the movers wouldn't pack it) Dinner Moaned about the heat Gave HS a bath And now I'm soaking my feet in a concoction that removes dead skin (1/2c Listerine-must be Listerine, 1/2c vinegar, 1c warm water) and watching a movie.

myfunnybunch Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Ugh. I need some accountability today! Choir Board Call prospective board member. (Just did this right after I typed it so that I couldn't put it off any longer. We're meeting for coffee on Tuesday.) Email documents to other prospective board members who will be appointed at the next meeting. Write meeting agenda and email it. Type notes from last phone call with attorney. Make a phone call I am dreading. Ugh. Or get someone else to make it. Home Get caught up on laundry. Clean the piano. Get the kids to wash the car. (This is mostly a reminder for me, since I forgot yesterday.) Wash the dog. Pick up two flats of raspberries and freeze them. Make jam if I get everything else done. No way I'm getting these done. It took too long to walk to the yogurt shop. Walk to the yogurt shop with the kids and our exchange student. Finish the lesson I'm working through on my online "How to Learn Math" course. (Which I learned about here at WTM.) Still working on this--listened and completed most of it while caramelizing onions. Spanish homework (Crossing this one off, because I am counting having a very short conversation with our Spanish-speaking exchange student as "homework".) Make dinner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Got another 2 Qts. of peaches processing (I do it in small batches since I don't have good equipment. It's a pretty rinky-dink operation). Kitchen cleaned up from lunch. My problems are afternoons. I lose all motivation and degenerate into watching Dr. Who on the iPad all afternoon.

I was lazy with my peaches and threw them into the freezer whole. MAYBE someday I'll get up the gumption to make some jam or peach sauce.

Tress Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I realized that I only come to this thread to whine. Sorry. I think that's because when things go well I'm not on the Chat forum at the time this thread is around. Anyway, I'll try to be more constructive :). Thursday: -pain in my jaw is tolerable, although I made a mistake when I sat in the sun after dinner.....wow, the dental surgeon was't kidding when he said 'keep out of the sun'. -birthday breakfast with cake for my dd7 -gave birthday presents (they were a big succes) -did light school with the kids -made report cards (grandma is very vocally anti-homeschooling and wants the kids to have report cards. The kids like the idea....so report cards it is :) ) -took my dd7 to hair dresser for a coloured feather in her hair -enjoyed the Stanford Math course I'm taking -had 4 neighbouring girls over for dinner....that made 8 yelling and screaming girls in our yard It's Friday now, plans for today: -finishing up last few assignments for school, then we can start our summer holidays -give out report cards and little presents -do laundry -clean kitchen -make a list of the things I still need to do for the new school year, decide if I can take a break next week or not (probably not, I still have so much to translate into Dutch, CWP books, Henle etc) -watch session 4 of Stanford Math course -work on Latin vocab -try not to think to much about the political situation, which is difficult because the email from Dutch mailinglists keeps poring in, everybody is stressed out.

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 ((Tress)) I hope that your jaw pain is all gone very very soon. I'm sorry that things are stressful for you right now. But wow, you got a lot done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Did some reading with dd and took a nap. DH's cousin called and wants to come stay for the weekend with her 2 kids. I'll have to make sure the house is vacuumed tomorrow and the bathroom cleaned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
