Kelly1730 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 My job today is to hold my temper in check. I may have to join you in this :tongue_smilie: Have two grandsons here this week (and next) along my my own two so patience is key. Morning started with a spilled glass of OJ because we were "trying a trick" so mopping kitchen floor goes to top of list. Basic cleaning was done over the weekend so: 1. Laundry 2 Meals 3. Begin Thomas Edison unit with boys 4. Start work in schoolroom; cleaning out and organizing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom in High Heels Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Blah. We're moving NEXT week and we're in a bit of a holding pattern. So far today: Exercised (double blah, because my abs hurt now) B'fast Emptied dishwasher Gave away all my excess food (and good grief was there a lot) to another hs mom I know who is on a very tight budget Vacuumed the LR Lunch Went through some rental house ads with James Bond to narrow down our search Post office for more than an hour to mail some packages Thought about ironing-decided not to Watched an episode of Merlin with James Bond Ate half a Kit Kat (JB at the other half. I clearly married an unchivalrous man, because if he were chivalrous, he would have given it all to me!) I need to make dinner in a while, but I don't want to, because it's too hot and I'm tired and lazy and then I have to take Indy to Scouts. They'e doing their summer meetings at Rheinblick, which is about 20 minutes from here, so I'll have to wait in the car for 2 hours for him to finish. It's too far for me to drive 4 times. Ah, well, at least I get 2 hours of peace and get to read a book. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairfarmhand Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Update: Got the bathrooms cleaned and the kids did a bunch of chores for me. (we're getting in to a new chore routine for the coming school year, so this week is a preview.) I ironed, went to the grocery store and taped and painted all the trim in my kitchen. I am hoping to paint all the trim in the common areas of the house by the end of the week. Next, the kids are picking corn for me right now, and I will husk and blanch the ears. Then I will get them in the freezer. I am hoping this will be the last bacth of corn for the year. After that, I'll be mixing my chemicals for the field so I can spray the weeds.

Half the spraying done, but then by the time I mixed up the next batch it was beginning to rain. I got so much done today. Now off to the shower and to cook supper for my crew. (hamburgers, tomatoes and macaroni) Can't wait to continue my painting project tomorrow. What I got done looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Ds - done with Latin. Ds has helped me put the rice on. Dd is going to help cook the veggies once we're closer to dinner time. I bought a rotisserie chicken. Dd - emptied dishwasher Me - filled and ran dishwasher. If I can get up the energy, I need to complete the 'clean the kitchen' process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hi, ladies! I am back from my mini vacation at my sister's. Lots of swimming and eating good Mexican food. My sister also took my girls shopping and bought them several outfits, which was super nice of her. My dd10 got bitten by tick while we were there, although I don't think it was on her long. Hoping nothing comes of it. Done: Unloaded car Sorted laundry Printed mailing labels for PBS books Fed cat Going to veg out for the rest of the evening. Jean, how are you feeling? Any improvements the last couple of days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Welcome back, Yvette! Unfortunately my health is still really bad right now. I'm slowly trying to get things together so I can make a doctor's appointment - which sounds weird but doctor's appointments take a lot out of me since it adds a couple of hours to my schedule. We have decided that I am not well enough to go on the family vacation this year. The kids and dh leave later this week. Managed to get one more lesson written for camp. Got part of the camp registration done but was told that I don't have to stress about it since we're staff and they were counting on us being there anyway. ;) I am gong by sheer faith that God will allow me to fulfill my responsibilities to teach again this year. He's managed to get me through despite some bad times the last couple of years so there is no reason to doubt that He won't come through again.
