Ameena Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Nice, Ameena! Thanks - they need a little work, but nothing major. Going to sand down the chipping veneer on 1 then paint it with a free paint sample I got from Lowes. Other one just needs screws tightened {and maybe a tiny bit of super glue added when I do it}. I did GOOD in the bulk pickup this year - a PC for parts {dell desktop}, desk, the 2 end tables, 2 rolling ice chests {which we had needed desperately for getting cold groceries home on the bus} - nothing wrong except they got muddy, some clothes for dd & a bunch of disney princess stuff for her too - pillowbook & some totebag thing that unrolls into a pillow & blanket. I was amazed at what people in my new neighborhood throw out lol. Some people just put everything out they had left from yard sales - I'm like geeze people don't you realize all that stuff goes to the landfill? At least call one of the local thrifts to come get it instead. I saw a big teacher's cubby unit 2 streets down, but couldn't get it unburied out from under everything else so I had to pass - otherwise that would have been installed in my pantry :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saw Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 My goal for the day: get my US taxes sorted out -- tax advisor has done the work, but I need to review and confirm everything before filing in Oct. When I've done this one, I'll be very happy. make plan for the week for all the stoopid little stuff review Kumon/math and dds' schoolwork parents' meeting for rowing club (and try to avoid volunteering too much time since I know the scouts are going to be after me too!) write down goals for this school term DS12 went back to his boarding school yesterday, so the place is very quiet. I have the feeling that summer is now truly over and it's time to get back to work! Good luck to all with Monday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amo_mea_filiis. Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 More coffee. Wash ds's sheets.... Again. Iron a part of the top sheet (it has a bad crease that I can't get to stay flat). Put away the rest of the laundry that was done and sorted yesterday. Finish ds's reading lessons. Make some more pages in the math notebooks. Piano and young adult for dd. figure out how to arrange the living room to add a couch. Dust and vacuum dd's room. Think about dusting the blinds, but decide it's a big pain and put if off again.

Household: vacuum and dust the first floor wipe down bathrooms and basic tidy. Simple supper ...roast, potatoes and carrots in crockpot with salad and homemade dressing.

It's raining so I'm not going to work in the garden ;). I did bike to the library while it rained. My dd7 has fallen in love with a horse book series :hurray: and she wanted to pick up two new books. It is only a 6 book series, so I really need to find a new series soon. We bought a (secondhand) treadmill and I plan to do Day 1 of Week 1 of C25K this evening. Yeah me!

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 I just got up now at 8:45. I went to bed at 11 pm. I still feel tired to my very cells. I had my usual wakings in the night plus an extra one when the phone jarred me awake at 4:45 am and no one answered my "hello". When my husband came out of his room at 7ish, I moved to his bed and dozed some more. I am not allowed to nap any more now that I'm up for the day. There is tons to do around here. My son has a class that starts tomorrow morning at 8 am. They sent me the teacher's text instead of the student's and I have to copy the first chapter and white out the answers. I started working on that a few days ago but haven't gotten it done yet. This is a stop-gap measure until the student book (which apparently has been sent) gets here. I probably won't be home by 8 am so he's going to be on his own to get started with the class without me. He's 16, so there should be no problem with that but he has some ADD stuff going on that makes him a bit of an airhead at times. I just don't want this to be one of those times. The laundry has gotten out of control. It doesn't help that half of the laundry smells like mildew. I'm going to have to rewash it all with a vinegar rinse. Sigh. I think I'll put a roast into the crockpot for dinner. I have to leave by 6 pm to get to the sleep study place in time so depending on when my husband gets home from work, I may or may not see him before then.

swellmomma Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Fun times, so looks like I have dd14s head cold. After posting my list I ended up feeling really light headed so I went back to bed for a few hours. Woke up with a headache, sore throat and a cough. Fun fun just what I needed at the start of a busy week. So far at 11am all I have accomplished is AAR with dd5 and that nap. Oh and I am out of my favorite coffee creamer which sucks so just plain cream and sugar for me today which is so not the preferred way especially when sick. I did take a phone call from the kids online foods tutor to let me know what sorts of pictures they need when the kids get to the lab portion so they can be properly graded (since the tutor can't see them otherwise, and obviously won't be here for tasting). Going to try to eat something and get on with school today. I may have to surprise the kids with a school lite day if my throat gets much worse, but I won't be telling them that until it is time to be done :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom in High Heels Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Oh, Jean, that's awful. And I did, in fact, know that you could vomit from exhaustion.

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 11 ish report - Ds has cleaned his room (according to him.) Our definitions don't totally match but it's better than it was, so I'm not going to make a fuss. Ds is sending out some stuff for charity. Then he is supposed to start on his geometry. Dd has helped me assemble the ingredients for tonight's dinner and made a list of what we need to get at the store. I called my Mom and Dad and did my weekly check in with the "old folks". I've emptied and filled the dishwasher and that is running. I cleaned the stand mixer extra well after all of this weekend's baking orders. I'm taking a break from cleaning the rest of the kitchen to take my meds (which is why I can sit here for a minute) and run to the grocery store for a few things like potatoes and onions.

Julie Smith Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 The neighbor dropped in at 1pm to play. We had a slow start on school this morning so had only finished 1 subject (French). So the my boys are going to end up owing me a school day. The neighbor is also homeschooled and we usually have 2 days a week scheduled for him to drop by on. But his Mom and I were still discussing which days. I said "Monday" would be fine. Well I guess Monday it will be, but I wasn't prepared for it to be this Monday. - I do know I could have told him to come back later. But we rarely see him other then the two scheduled days a week since he has a busy schedule. My Boys like having him over and they have played together for 10+ hours a week for over three years without a fight. So I wasn't going to send him away. But I might end up making them all walk to the library with me since I have some good stuff waiting for me on the hold shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 OK - it is 1:22 my time. And I'm sleepy after my lunch. But I must. not. sleep. I'd better not read either because I tend to drop off while reading! So - next up - Do a load of laundry with a vinegar rinse to get rid of the horrible smell. And work on copying ds's book. Dd has decided to weed and hack at the blackberry bushes in order to earn money. Since our yard is a disaster area (I'm voting to call it a natural habitat) I don't mind if she weeds.

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Laundry is all done! Ds was a huge help. Dd is motivated financially to make a huge dent on the blackberry vines. I got a call from a very long-time friend that was a great surprise. Talking to her helped to keep me awake. Now - I have to run to the store for some white-out. I only have a couple more hours until I have to leave and I still have to get the Algebra book done for ds' first class tomorrow morning.

swellmomma Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Well my list never did get done. I did get dd5 to her sparks meeting and stayed for the parent meeting with it. But beyond that nope. I slept a lot, and read and sipped ginger ale and tea and took it easy. It paid off. I am feeling way better today. Still have the head cold nagging in the back trying to take hold, but my throat is feeling loads better and I know I will accomplish much more.
