Chris in VA Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 First day of eighth grade at ps for dd. She does look very nice this am, and is ready for a good year. I have flea control to do--probably mop the entire basement. Also need to re-season my cast iron frying pan, as my wonderful ds put it in the dishwasher last night. As a matter of fact, I am thinking of having HIM scrub it out (rusted) and re-season it...Yep, that's what I'll do! I am not going back to work until either later in the week or next Monday, so we shall see what the day brings. Have a lovely Monday, Y'all!

Tress Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Lunch time here. Had a much better morning than yesterday. Kids were cooperating much better, except for my dd2 who managed to let the rabbits escape, dropped the bucket with feed and decided to give the rabbits lots and lots and lots of hay. The days of letting her play quietly in the garden are obviously over now we have pet rabbits ;). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swellmomma Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Kids just got home. Heard back from the diner that interviewed me last week. I got the job. So that means I now have 3 jobs. The Diner is not open yet, they are fixing the dishwasher and running all the dishes through it, then the health inspector can check it out, and then waiting on the permit. They are hoping before the end of this month though. So Now have my writing job, the diner and childcare. Just waiting on this dayhome interview mom to show up. Hoping to still get a nap in, we will see. Time to make lunch and get some laundry done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MommaOfalotta Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Had a bit of a snag in my day.. Family is all out visiting other family so its just dh and the kids at home. I thought I would use this time to be extra productive but dd was invited over to my aunts. Just got back from visiting with her. Dd is still there. Now I'm trying to play catch up on all that I had planned to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 That's a good thing, right? I think so. I was just on the fence about whether I was going to go through with this appointment or chicken out and cancel it and now it's been pushed up and I have to go through with it!

swellmomma Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Interview family was a no show, which is just as well because my kids came home from gramma's rude and mean and nasty. Nipping that right now. ds15 walked in and left a trail of slobbishness so that has been an issue really ticking me off after all my efforts to clean up. Both teens have asked to skip cadetsm tonights. I called the sparks leader (girl guides for the 5-6 yr old range) for dd5, she starts next Monday night. Still no nap. Everytime I close my eyes for 1/2 a second WW3 starts up, so I am just going to power through and make it work. I am still hoping to get the boys room done tonight, but we will see, I am so tired I don't want to but it smells like something died in there so I should (what is it with boys stinking up a dang room) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaAkins Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Well, this day did not go as planned. Shortly after my post at 9am, I found out that our fridge was no longer working (long story). So, I had to make see what could be salvaged, store it in coolers, and go to town for large quantities of ice. I also had to make several phone calls to the repair company, who will not be coming before Thursday afternoon since they had to order a part. I also had to clean out the fridge. Considering this deviation from my plan, we still managed to get quite a bit done off of my "still to do" list. I am now "done" for the night. Anything else not finished will have to wait for tomorrow. I'm too tired to care anymore! school with dd6 English, science, and writing with ds history for dd9 and ds lunch order new math books for dd9 and ds afternoon chores reading time for kids naptime for daycare child drive dd15 to dance (3:30) drive daycare child to her mom's work (4:45) pick up dd15 from dance (5pm) pick up paycheck from work go to bank ds soccer practice (5:30-6:45) squeeze in a workout at the Y while ds is practicing get everyone home for dinner showers for kids evening chores get ready for an even crazier Wednesday look through spanish curriculum for dd6 and dd9 so we can start later this week fill out paperwork/write check for Spanish class that ds starts tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom in High Heels Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Since I slacked off yesterday, I had to get on it today. I had planned to go for a walk this morning, but it was pouring rain, so I watched TV instead. :) Done: B'fast First day of 6th grade! Cleaned kitchen Swept and mopped LR, DR, Kitchen, and entry Cleaned boys' bathroom Washed my hands about a million times because it was gross from the previous people who lived in this house. Blech. Vacuumed loft, MB and MBath and closet (yes, we have carpet in the bathroom) Lunch More school Nap (I swear I'm never going to really get used to this time change) Errands Dinner Gave Han Solo a bath and put him to bed Picked up the million little toys scattered all over the floor and on the stairs And now James Bond and I are watching Doomsday Preppers. This show is crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
