MamaAkins Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Good morning, everyone! I need to tackle the day before it tackles me! I was up late last night chatting with my cousin and awaiting updates on my grandfather. The end of his earthly life is very near and I expect that he may pass today. At this point, we are praying for a quick, peaceful passing. (He broke his hip about a month ago and has now stopped eating and has developed an infection). There will be travel arrangements to make for my dad to travel to NY. I feel torn regarding my own decision as to whether or not I should travel for the funeral. daycare child (8-5pm) fold and put away 2 loads of laundry strip bed linens, wash, dry, and put back on beds (this will likely take 3 loads). empty/reload dishwasher wrap presents write out Christmas cards / take picture of kids / order prints from CVS / mail cards prep dinner in the crockpot dd16: APUSH, AP Language, finish Spanish, work on Chem mid-term, Pre-Calc ds: work on Emergency Preparedness, Environmental Science, and Archaeology merit badges for BS make bank deposit for dd9's GS troop dd16: ballet class (4-5pm) make final decisions re: Christmas baking / make grocery list vacuum / sweep wipe down bathrooms / clean toilets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaAkins Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 11am update: Kids were bickering this morning and I could see the day headed downhill. I decided to change the mood by making them a yummy breakfast (biscuits, bacon, and clementines). It seems to have done the trick and all are getting along better now.

swellmomma Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Finished my first aid corse early and now home for a bit. dd14 went back to bed this morning and slept through her latin class instead of logging on after I walked out the door. So not impressed with that one right now. She had only 1 more class before xmas break and she missed both of last week's latin classes because we were out of town on the road both days.Now having some lunch before I jump into chores and find the library items to return when I head back out for work in a bit.

MysteryJen Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Well, I am missing two addresses for three packages, so I might have to mail them tomorrow. It is not important that they are there by Christmas, but I just want to get it done! Still doing some chores and overseeing teens. It is a beautiful day outside and so the boys are playing football. P.E., right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Well, that was embarrassing. I drove all the way into the big city only to find out that my doctor's appointment is actually tomorrow. And I scraped the side of the car trying to get into a too small space in the parking garage as well. My kids impressed me by making pancakes for each other for breakfast and by fixing the digital piano so that they could have a jam session. They didn't impress me by leaving an absolute mess in the kitchen. And I can't walk in the living room because of the amp and the speakers and all the cords for the electric guitar. But oh well, they are happy and occupied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Today is the pits. I'm trying to talk to the library about their stupid new catalog system which does not work and creates all this extra hoops for us to jump through. Oh - he just came back to me on hold and told me that he can't make it work either. Just great. I'll have to try again later. Cancelled egg delivery for this week. I think that I ordered new checks but I'm not sure since the site doesn't make it clear whether it went through or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Finished my afternoon shift at work. THe teens are at cadets.
