swellmomma Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I seem to have caught a cold to go along with the sinus thing that caused my weird mouth thing, and now my chest hurts and my throat hurts from coughing. Hopefully this won't last too long especially since I don't have any puffer left and I have virus induced asthma. I don't have time to get to the dr and get a RX for a new one or the money to buy it anyway. So hoping this cold & sinus medication helps me get through my list and not slow down too much. dd14 latin class 845-945 work job #2 3-530 cadets for teens 630-930 work job #1 10-11 pm laundry school pick up parcel waiting at post office clean entrance scoop litter boxes change guinea pig cage put up new decor I bought yesterday choose a meat from the freezer to haul out and thaw clean kitchen clean livingroom shovel walks put garbage can out on curb for tomorrow's pick up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can't find those receipts, dd won't have a Christmas (we were going to buy some small ones and travel out of town to relatives for larger ones, but if I can't find those receipts, the money that would have been for gas would go to the house payments)- Can't find the freaking things, trying to figure out some way to get assistance for the payments - dishes - take out trash- done - put away laundry (it's all foldded in baskets in the room they belong)- done - tidy up- done - bassinet sheet- I'm going to wait until I can use dmil's sewing machine - crochet- done for now - read - get dd off the bus - dinner- meat pulled - finish decorating tree - bedtime routine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoughCollie Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Today is the dog club's Christmas banquet. I am only helping because one of the caterers let my guys watch the ALCS and WS at her house. This is my third and last year of doing this, because I do not enjoy it. The 2 dog club members who cater it bicker about it all year because each thinks the other wants all the glory and they don't agree about anything. Bickering is their hobby, which I am convinced is the reason they don't hire a real caterer to handle this banquet. My day: Breakfast/shower/dress/meds/teeth Clean kitchen Feed Aidan and put him outside for 15 minutes Change write-on wall calendar to December Laundry 1 Laundry 2 Laundry 3 Take kids to school @ 11:45 Make a few phone calls re banquet Call friend who just returned from VT Call neighbor about fence and lunch on Friday Lunch @ 12.45 Tidy dining room Tidy living room Tidy bathroom Clean dog's fenced area Tidy master bedroom Apply makeup, change clothes Put addresses in GPS for DS1 Put DS3 in charge of Aidan Leave msg on office answering machine about what is going on (DH doesn't text) From 2:30-10:30, help with banquet Take meds/talk to family/pay attention to Aidan/remove makeup/go to bed Wake up happy in the morning because the banquet is over and I'll never do it again! Ignore all phone calls from bickering, catering club members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm proud of myself for finally getting off of my butt and doing this. DS - done with robotics. The cat was alternately fascinated and scared of the latest robot.

swellmomma Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 dd14 signed on to her latin class and I went back to bed. I slept until 11am, which felt pretty great. Since then I have made and served lunch got load #1 of laundry into the dryer and load #2 into the washer and am getting ready to switch them shortly. Kitchen has been getting cleaned. Cadet uniforms are at the door waiting. I am going to go have a hot shower as soon as this episode of castle I am watching ends and get ready for work. I still need to remind dd14 to gather up the hair supplies she needs to get her hair done for cadets tonight. Items needed to be returned to the library are being gathered, the 3 olders will be hanging out there today while I am at job #2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteryJen Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Just a quick check in. I submitted the syllabus to College Board. It was harder trying to get my account set up and the syllabus page up than to write the darn thing. I guess I have to wait (and hopefully, not have to revise it), the email said to allow 60 (!) days. Dd1 wants to have AP on her transcript--I know why and I generally agree, but the hoops and the hassles are aggravating. So the kids did school, ds1 is getting ready for his final in Philosophy. I am pooped and and hour and half past lunch. Still have to oversee chores. Quilting is not going to get done, so sad, because this weekend is nuts. Off to have lunch and drink water :001_rolleyes: Melissa, thinking about you and hoping you find the receipts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 Sigh. Ran insurance numbers. But since I don't even know if dh will have a job after two weeks, I don't know what good it does. But I have to do it anyway so that I have some information to work with in the future. OK - other than going to Zumba and going to the library, I have finished my responsibilities for the day.

swellmomma Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Home from job #1, garbage is at curb. Cleaned the entrance, and both the guinea pig and rabbit cages. First section of holiday decor is up. ds10 is making me mad. It is 1130pm and not only will he not go to bed but he won't simply be quiet either. I was done with kids and noise 2.5 hours ago, I am about to blow up and start flipping my lid at him. That child just never knows when to quit, he makes me madder than ds15 ever could with his crap, because as much bad as ds15 does he knows when to shut up. I am so sensitive to sound and at a certain point it puts me into a rage if I don't get a break from it. ANd this late at night when I just want to finish up some chores, unwind and go to sleep he is still going on and on. argh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
