Jean in Newcastle Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I might as well put this up for the "on the other side of the world" crowd so that they can participate while the day is young.

Tress Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Awesome, Jean :D. As one of the 'on the other side of the world' crowd, thanks! I hope you and Readinmom get some sleep! Only one child is slightly ill, so I am tackling Wednesday! -4 loads of laundry, dried, folded, put in closets. -visited a kitchen shop in order to look for tiles for the kitchen. Can't decide, so we will probably paint :). -tidied the living room -swept the living room floor -grocery shopping -told my husband I could not get motivated to prepare for next school year when I don't even know *if* there will be a next school year. Had a cry. -put some lesson plans in HST+ I'm now going to clean the bathroom and think about what to do next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 On my side of the world, there's nothing left to do with my Wednesday other than read a few chapters of my Anne Bronte book and go to sleep. A happy Wednesday to you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaNZ Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Lunchtime here. I have made some soup and bread for dinner. Done reading, maths and religious studies with 3 children, tidied downstairs and done some jobs for my DH. Time to go out for a play date and then karate. So far so good!

shanvan Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 My sleep has been very poor this week--disturbed is probably the best way to describe it--so I feel terrible today plus have sinus issues & headache. I hope your pain has not flared, Jean. All I can come up with so far for today: figure out what I'm going to focus on today and dump the list in my head onto paper. If I can get that accomplished I'll feel like I've done a lot. Confusion is reigning in my brain right now. So far I have... sat outside on the patio w/ Ds. spent time reading the Bible and praying (took me forever b/c I'm tired). discussed when we will accomplish visits to various people this week. reminded both Dc about piano lessons today and told them to practice one last time. beat myself up for having such a slow start to the day. reproached myself for getting very little accomplished. looked at the pile of books for the upcoming year and walked away from them. panicked inside at how I'll ever start school again if I feel like this every morning. gave myself a stern reminder to STOP IT.

Alessandra Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Read old newspapers before I recycle them. Find overdue library books and put in car. Laundry, as always. Convince myself to throw out kids' old sheets, since I got several new sets. The old ones don't reach far enough down their very deep mattresses to tuck in. But the old sheets are monogrammed and I used them on their toddler beds. Maybe I should cut out the monogrammed part and save it to make into a quilt, along with old logo t shirts? Not that I have ever quilted before. (I am not a natural declutterer, lol.) Already done: First two trips of 6 to drop off/pick up kids. Made toast in my new toaster oven. Both sides got toasted -- nice surprise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildiris Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Help is on the way. I've hired out the weed-eating and someone needs to help me clean the girls' room. How can such pretty girls live like little piggies. Every summer I clean their room from top to bottom, but this year I just don't have the three days it takes to do the job. Fire danger getting under control, weed-eater to the rescue. Maybe some garden chores too-like pulling out blackberry canes where they don't belong. Clean! Clean! Clean! My brother is coming for a visit. I haven't seen him in 10 years. His lives across the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 It's a little bit after 9 am. It was a rough night. I am very glad that I have a chiropractor appointment already scheduled. The swelling has pulled my bones out of their nice little tidy places. I get to use my new laptop for the first time later this morning at the library!

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Of course, "sit on the couch and relax" can be added to the list! Take control over your list! Seize the power! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tress Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 New laptop, nice!! I did not clean the bathroom. Ahum. Instead we went to the DIY shop and bought paint for the kitchen. Red! Then we took the kids out for ice cream. My husband painted one wall in the kitchen and it looks AWESOME. I'm in awe over our skill at picking the right color :D. I removed a lot of things from my 'to do before the new school year' list. I feel much better now :). I'm officially taking a vacation now, so I took a nap.

Poor thing. She's so upset that she'll miss the movie at church. I wonder if I can find it on Netflix..."No Time for Sergeants" or maybe something else fun for her.

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Dinner got cooked and eaten. Unbeknownst to me (and for some teenage reason I cannot fathom) ds16 put bbq sauce (with nightshades) on the chicken that I had carefully (I thought) prepared nightshade free. Sigh. Latin tutor came, saw and conquered. I can't believe I did this, but I signed up for information on our state virtual academy - just to look.

SunnyDays Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Well, I got the laundry and the kitchen done, and I totally mastered that sitting on the couch thing! ;) Pushing grocery shopping to Thursday or Friday instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Oh - I did get all the chicken picked off the bones and stored in containers in the fridge for use in salads, easy meals. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 ALL my papers are finally filed or otherwise disposed of :hurray: I have one smallish box of books that I still haven't figured out what to do with, but much progress has been made :) My bedroom hasn't looked this good in years. The major things I still have to tackle are the girls' bedroom and the laundry room/pantry. I will try to get through those in the next week or two.
