MomtoCandJ Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Thanks Tress, I would take myself now but I'm running on like 45 minutes of sleep and I don't think that would mesh with contractions and an over hour drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Jean--I pray you feel better soon! Tress--I hope your day is better than your night! Melissa--Praying all goes well with Juli! Ds started running fever yesterday afternoon, and it's coming back around the time he can have more ibuprofen. I don't know whether to take him to the doctor or not. I hate to expose him to other stuff when it could just be a virus. I may call this morning to see what they say. Today: breakfast/lunch for dh coffee and computer time breakfast for the rest of us Dd school may read some with ds for school lunch pay bills get help lined up for Awana if I'm not there tomorrow night go to grocery store dinner get lessons together for chemistry class and writing class later in the week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 -get dd up for school and on the bus then have dh take me to the hospital (will leave by 7 am). This is ridiculous, been having contractions on and off for last 24 hours. That happened with my youngest----I contracted unevenly for two days, unable to sleep. I called my dr that third morning, saying I just couldn't take any more. He sent me to the hospital to get checked. I was on a pit drip for two hours to regulate the contractions, and then labor progressed normally. We'll be thinking of you today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizzie in Ma Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hope and pray for good days and better health for you all. Clean up kitchen Take trash barrels and recyclables down to the bottom of the driveway. Feed feathered, finned and furred Fill dd's pillbox for the week Lesson planning for the rest of the semester (still not done) I am waiting to hear about my cat's bloodwork this morning, he has dropped over half his body weight, they tested him for hyperthyroidism yesterday. I know he is old (13) but he is my dear friend and I love him. He is in good spirits though. Hoping it is something we can fix with medication. He is so emaciated though he is constantly eating. Off to see the Dr. about my stupid arm at 11:30. Hurt it on the 13th and it is still very much a problem. Youngest wasn't feeling well yesterday at all, no fever, just crappy, so we shall see about school today. Oldest mostly in tears from feeling crappy with ongoing chronic Lyme issues, she is begging to go on IV meds to give her stomach a break but I don't think our Dr. is comfortable with the idea at all and I don't know that I am either. Just more hell in 7 years of hell for her. The whole thing just breaks my heart. She was doing well for a little bit over the summer and fall, had even gotten a good start on school this year and now we are back to crap. DH still in Sierra Leone til Thursday. Need to prepare for biology lab tomorrow as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I spoke with the nurse, and I'm taking ds to the doctor this afternoon. I want him well before the end of the week, if possible. Our first co-op of the semester is then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Wow, it looks like we need to set up a "tackle group hospital ward" with soft soothing music (for those who want it), made to order meals, fuzzy blankets, maid service and a full-service daycare/schoolroom for the kids that feel well. One can dream, right?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shukriyya Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I'm sitting here looking at a very messy kitchen. Dc, who's been sick the past couple of days, is now on the upswing but not well enough to attend anything so we've missed two days of homeschool classes. You'd think I would get a lot done while he was in bed but nope, the usual mess awaits me :glare: Not sure where yesterday went...I'm hoping to get in some math and science today if dc is up for it. And reading. Other than that there is laundry, cleaning, bird care and meals for the family. It sounds like everyone on this thread could use some :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Today is a busyday around here work 730-830 at daycare drop ds15 off for his community service 9am work daycare 3-6 return library items teens cadets 630-930 younger 2 swimming lessons 6-645 work diner 10-11 laundry pack youngers swim stuff get ds15s cadet uniform ready and make dd14 get her own put garbage can out to curb clean kitchen school x3 clean entrance clean bathroom reschedule planning meeting for tomorrow find my supply of colored rice to take to daycare for craft today continue organization of school shelf make sure I pack the cadet camp forms to hand in tonight (this one is urgent) clean livingroom I am not 100% better yet but much better than yesterday. When I get those nauseous or dizzy periods today (I am able to go hours between them now which is good) I will be reconfiguring ds15s lesson plans. For the rest of this month he is working nearly fulltime at the recycle center for his community service hours. Instead of making him only do 2-4 a day around school until done, I decided to make him finish all 60 in about 2 weeks. It will get them out of the way and fulfill that requirement of his probation, but also I want him to get a taste of working a crappy job fulltime because if he doesn't start focusing on his school work more that will be the kind of job he will get to work day in and day out. The bonuses to homeschooling, even when your kid screws up you can use it as a major concrete lesson rather than a mere inconvience. He will still go to his extra currics and will still be joining us for the fieldtrip tomorrow I already paid for, but the hours will keep him busy enough that he will pretty much be off the video games for the most part busting his butt. Works for me, just makes the tweaking of school harder because he was already struggling to catch up and now he will have a bunch of courses that we wanted done by the end of this month (online ones) that he will still be working on next semester and setting back his 2nd semester courses by a few weeks.

Don't go all the way home, head for a nearby mall and go walking. Once I hit 4 it's only a matter of time, I go from 6cm to 10cm in mere minutes, getting from 4-6 takes me about 2 hours so I would actually refuse to leave, but your body is not the same as mine. That said, given the length of drive you have I would not risk it, I would stay local to the hospital because I bet you would get home, walk in the house, go to the bathroom, yell oh crap and get back in the car right back to the hospital, and then be in the midst of hard contractions.

KrissiK Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hugs and a virtual cup of peppermint tea and a scone to all. Sound like we all need it today! Well, as for tackling Tuesday.... ** school - in progress ** call for dd's birth certificate (adoptions and out of state birth certificates create much confusion). I'm prepared for a long wait on hold. ** ds's first basketball game. Of course it starts at 8:00, which is past the little girls' bedtime, but... we'll all go. I'll just make sure they get a good nap. ** prepare for co-op on Friday. I am leading PE. Me! Completely non-athletic me. So, we're going to start flag football this semester. Did volleyball last semester. Fortunately, there's lots of resources on the Web for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 History, English, and astronomy are done. I dropped off the textile recycling when I picked up dd18. And that's it (well, lunch). Sigh. I need to use the laptop for uploading documents and printing from a CD, but I cannot until after the markets (stock, bond) close at 4. Dh uses the laptop when he works from home (I have an ipad).

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 1 pm check in. Pet care (done by kids) done Human care (everyone for themself) - sort of done. I ate breakfast and took my meds. That is it. I am still in my jammies and robe and am in need of a shower. Maybe later if I can stay upright for longer than 5 min. Morning school done by kids who were given their assignments and let go. I have no idea what they've done. I have a vague idea that my son came and talked at me for awhile while I was comatose. I think I managed to open my eyes but why he thought that meant I was cognizant of what he was saying, I have no idea. I am awake to take some meds and to eat something so that I don't have a bloodsugar crash on top of everything else. And to check in here for a couple of minutes. I am having the worst headache this morning - I think the battle of Armageddon is being waged in my head by the insurgents vs. the rebels.

swellmomma Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 bathroom clean, cadet uniforms ironed and ready at door, swim stuff packed and at door, library books in bag at front door, dd14s hair done up for cadets already, dd6 done school. On our way out to get to work (with dd14 and ds10 being dropped at the library), then swimming lessons and cadets right after work. Nothing like a go go go kind of day. Ds15 is done at his community service today at 5 and will walk over to the daycare to meet up with me, the plan is to hopefully get out of work early tonight since there is a staff meeting and get to swimming on time for the first day.

KrissiK Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Wow! Got it all done. Didn't have to wait long with Vital statistics and got an easy answer to our problem. Thanks to the internet, got my flag football practice planned out. Now, I need to salvage this chunk of meat I put in the crockpot. I'm not good with chunks of meat. I think it's going to be too dry. Need to find some sort of sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRG Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I actually got grocery shopping done! It was touch and go there for awhile and I almost decided against it.

swellmomma Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Finished my shift, boss rescheduled the staff meeting for next week so I wouldn't miss it. Youngers did their swimming lesson, teens are at cadets, ds15 is suitably sore after an 8 hour day at the recycle center, late dinner is cooking, talked to my dad on the phone. in about 90 minutes I have to leave to pick up the teens, get everyone home then go to my cleaning shift. Hoping to get a few things done after I eat before those 90 minutes end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Dh has come to save the day. Dd and dh have made shrimp scampi for dinner. Dh and the kids have cleaned up after dinner and have cleaned the kitchen twice - once before dinner since we had absolutely no clean plates in the house and once afterward. Dh has done enough laundry for him to have some clean scrubs to wear to work tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
