mom31257 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Lovinmomma--how do you do that? I hope you get some good rest! Tress-- :grouphug: for you and your dd! We spent the weekend traveling back home, stopping to see my mom, and unpacking. The doctor's think her liver problems are very advanced, and she's continuing to build up fluid that they are having to try and get off. She start wheezing before we left Saturday, and she had Daddy call the three of us girls during the night because she couldn't breath and was afraid she wasn't going to make it through the night. She was better by morning, but they are having to restrict how much she drinks now, too. They are going to look at rehab places possibly close to my older sister so Daddy can stay with her. That would put her an hour closer, so I'm hopeful it will happen. It still means driving through Atlanta (the worst part of all our trips!), but I'll be able to see her more. On to today because I have a lot to do! breakfast and lunch for dh plan assignments for December for ds and make a checklist of all of it breakfast for us Ds' school: give mostly independent work today because of all I need to do to get ready for the book club I lead tomorrow Dd' school: same thing Call assisted living to arrange singing time for our children from church Call Honda dealership about recall notice we got in the mail Lunch Bake cookies for tea this afternoon Dd did this for me!

Lizzie in Ma Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Whew, you guys are so busy! I hope you are all hanging in there. I am in the throes of another Thanksgiving meal because our "son" was away with his family and it just wasn't the same without him. He got home late last night and worked at 6am so I have yet to see him. Can't wait. Turkey ready to go in the oven at 2:00 (background you may feel free to ignore, he is the son of a dear friend who moved in with us two years ago. He is the dearest, sweetest, kindest young man and the kids adore him, best big brother they could possibly have) School is in the process of getting done. Heading out for a Christmas errand with my Mom, she is going to do a basket of teas for our eldest and has no idea what to get. There is a new tea and spice merchant in town so we are going to check that out and have lunch. Major heart attack for about an hour. Stupid therapy bunny wanted to come out of her cage so I let her out and then she disappeared!!! Had to wake up dd after I had exhausted all possibilities so she was hysterical. The silly creature usually comes when it's called for treats but nothing. Finally found her sitting on top of her cage in a blanket. Probably snickering at us. Bad therapy bunny! Vacuumed washed dining room floor folded laundry fed feathered, finned and furred made dh's lunch and sent him off to work wrapped another couple of presents that have trickled in this morning from Fed Ex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see I tried, but out outside outlets aren't working, so I had to call the electrician. He's working on it now, so maybe tomorrow. I didn't want to do all that work if he couldn't get the outlet working. -Take the boys to get flu vaccines -Drop Dutch and Bella at the groomers The groomer called and apparently Bella flipped out on them, so they couldn't get much done. She weighs 4 pounds, how hard can it be? -Redo our holiday wreath I'll do this after the boys go to bed, probably while I watch TV -Watch TV and mope because there won't be a new Castle until Jan, but watch Sleepy Hollow and the Blacklist instead and be semi-happy Still planning on this! -Read -Try not to lose what's left of my mind TOO LATE! -Eat cookies I may have more later!

mom31257 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Well, I'm not getting to the cleaning stuff tonight. I had some calls about my mom this afternoon before we left. I had to go to 2 different libraries to find what I needed for tomorrow. We were out later because of tea, so the kids were hungry. We stopped and ate out, so I'm not eating a protein smoothie today. I've still got to get the rest of my stuff ready for book club tomorrow, too. Dh is spending the night in his work town tonight, so at least I can sleep later in the morning!

swellmomma Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Went to job #2, ended up staying 30 minutes late finishing cooking sugar cookies with the kids, zoomed home, grabbed ds15, dropped dd6 off at sparks, made ds15 help me at the diner doing cleaning. He did a good job with little complaint after the first few getting into the car. Went and picked dd6 back up, submitted her form and money for camp, grabbed the mail. Found a lovely card there as a surprise that really made my night. Now back home, having a bite to eat, and in a moment I will be switching the laundry and doing more cleaning. We did not get 3 hours of school done. Only 1 hour was done, but I am going to have the teens do a bit more tonight. Still not 3 hours but better than nothing, which is what we usually do in december. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only a 5 min. drive to the Y where I can get in my steps in the warm dry building. But I don't wanna. But I will because I'm on day 29 of my habit and I just can't quit now. So. . .
