Tress Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Is it halfway through the week already? Yes, it is. Weird, huh? Plans for today: -Homeschooling the kids -Greek & Latin vocab for me -Greek grammar -Study Latin -2 loads of laundry -read a book -my dd7 got into trouble playing with neighbourhood kids the last few weeks, so she has been grounded and can't play outside for two days. That's going to be fun this afternoon :glare: . I'm starting to get a bit weird about my todo lists. My life seems soooo boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My "me time" didn't work yesterday, so I'm trying extra hard for it today. The goal is to read some of my book while ds naps. I'm really glad for this thread, because Netflix added the second season of Once Upon A Time.. and dh and I watched a lot of it last night. So I'm going to be tempted all day long to throw the to-do list out, and veg out in front of the TV :D (I couldn't even if I wanted to, but still. lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Together we got thru a bit of geography, Math, and Heathen Studies.

Bake my birthday cake--frosting is made. Pharmacy pick up DS pick up Get ant traps from Lowe's Hopefully DH will have picked up stuff for dinner by the time we get home, but he fell asleep so who knows?

MommaOfalotta Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Well, yet another snag in our plan. Dd has gone to breakfast with family. I guess I will try and get all the housework I can done while they are out, so that we can do school as soon as she gets back and (hopefully) not run behind. If we can survive this week, the rest of the year should be smooth sailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swellmomma Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Ugh hump day tackled me. So I saw ds15's big toe today. It was badly ingrown and infected and he had been trying to hide how bad it was from me. We I booked a dr's appt. He had a close to 2 hour meltdown about going, finally got there, dr put him on antibiotics, if not 100% better in 14 days they will be taking the nail off completely. Went to fill his Rx and saw the dr accidently wrote the wrong name (she had a list of patients in front of her not a file for him because he was a brand new patient). Went back and got the Rx fixed, got it filled and head home. of course leading up to that meltdown all 4 kids have been fighting and screaming and squabbling non-stop. This combined transition of a new year PLUS having spent a weekend with my family without me is really making life difficult on me. THankfully I kept the list short today. Of course my kitchen and livingroom look like I have never cleaned them, so going to go have a shower to cool down and then get to work on those. and Ds15 has refused to do school work all day so have to get that done yet. The rest have been doing pretty well finishing off even with the chaos and me leaving to take ds to the dr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Home, all errands run. DH had dinner ready right after we walked in. Unfortunately, the vehicle's driver window won't roll up and the brake warning light came on. Fortunately we were almost home. We finally got DD scheduled for a psychoeducational evaluation. Not sure how we're paying for it... Now if DS will just nurse to sleep before my dinner its cold and I run out of time to make the cake...
