Mom in High Heels Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I'm not sure why I ever think TGIF. My days are pretty much the same whether it's a weekday or a weekend. Blah. To Do: B'fast, lunch, dinner (Enchilada casserole) Exercise! 1 load of laundry School -Math -Science -History -Latin vocab -Greek vocab -Reading Make a batch of dough for croissants (it has to sit in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours, so I won't actually make them until Sat) Make a batch of homemade hot pockets (Indy and James Bond have already eaten the ones I made the other day) Clean kitchen Give Dutch a bath Sweep LR, DR, kitchen and entry Think about Sherlock-JB and I watched S3E3 on Thurs night Consider flying to England, hunting down Moffat and making him speed S4 up! I want it now! Try not to eat the batch of homemade pop tarts I made on Wed Probably fail at the above-I need something to munch on while I think about Sherlock! Nap! Watch TV Waste time on the interwebs Order an apron Whew, I'm exhausted just thinking about doing all that! Maybe I need a nap first!

Lizzie in Ma Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Hey everyone, I hope you all have a wonderful day. I am still reeling from eldest's Dr. appointment yesteday, it was a rough one. I have never, ever, seen her so defeated in the whole Lyme battle. Meds changed again, and we are seriously considering IV meds, which scares me on a fundamental level. She was in such rough shape from the stress and anxiety of pouring it all out there, and in pain, emotionally, mentally and physically that dh and I went and picked up her boyfriend at 9:30 last night, if he is the only thing that comforts her, so be it. We can have him all day today. We just sat around watching Malcom in the Middle for some levity while he sat with his arm around her while she cried and shook I have fed the pets, made lunches, done the dishes, cranked up the woodstove and made coffee so far. Will do school with youngest today and I need to go out and get more cat food for my emaciated old fuzzy guy. I wish I could just go somewhere for a good cry for me, it is so hard to stay strong and this is the first time I've had to beg Rowan to keep fighting. She has been such a trooper for so very long. My heart is breaking. Praying the new meds get her stablized at least. I am waiting for CVS to call and tell me they are in. Will run out and get them as soon as they call. Sorry to be such a downer today. Thanks for listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tress Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I'm procratinating (sp?) with my Latin self-ed, so I did laundry and cleaned the bathroom instead :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Good Morning everyone. Thanks for the early birthday wishes yesterday. I do love this group of friends here on this thread. You are all so sweet. Had a good dinner with my folks. Mexican food. Not low-carb (I've been doing Atkins), but I gave myself a meal off. Sometimes you just have to enjoy life. Strawberry shortcake for dessert. Melissa - once again, congratulations on your sweet little girl. Rest and enjoy! Today's plans.... ** school ** lunch at McDonalds with the kids for my birthday (I'll be having a salad, but I do like McDonald's salads) ** co-op this afternoon ** dh and I were going to go out for my birthday tonight! but our sitter had to postpone, so we'll be doing that tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Think about Sherlock-JB and I watched S3E3 on Thurs night Consider flying to England, hunting down Moffat and making him speed S4 up! I want it now! Try not to eat the batch of homemade pop tarts I made on Wed Probably fail at the above-I need something to munch on while I think about Sherlock! Ahhh...Sherlock! I loved this season, and I am dying until season 4. Okay--how do you make homemade poptarts? Can I eat them with you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Okay--not getting up with dh is never good for my day. We slept until 9:00. We found out dh has to go to work tomorrow to help with the basketball games. Yes, teachers have to help out, but you think, since he lives 100 miles away, they could have scheduled him to do it on a week day when he's already there. Due to my sleeping in, I think I'm going to focus on the house today, and we'll do more of the schoolwork tomorrow while he's gone. Today: Breakfast Coffee and computer time Clean bathrooms Clean kitchen/dining room Lunch Laundry Clean living room Make a plan on big projects I want to do over the next month or two (mostly clean out areas in the house because I'm a pack rat and don't put things where they belong or don't make sure things have a place to belong) Dinner Everyone tidy their bedrooms Watch Great Gatsby (Netflix dvd came yesterday!)

mom31257 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Lizzie--I'm so sorry for all that you are dealing with. I pray you have peace about the treatment route that is best! I have a friend's husband who has advanced lyme disease, and he has been allergic to the antibiotics they've tried. I forgot that dd and I have hair trim appointments this afternoon.

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 I've got 20 minutes to try and find matching socks. . . before I have to go to the dentist. In this house, I might need the entire time! Human care including breakfast done Brushed teeth extra carefully. Took all meds including probiotics in an attempt to counteract my body's rebellion against being on antibiotics for a month. The timing issues are the biggest pain - I have to space antibiotics and probiotics a couple of hours apart. Also drinking kombucha to try and foster healthy gut bacteria. Dh appears to be staying home from work today. Talked to both kids about today's school. Talked to ds about his reading in Paradise Lost and the paper I'm going to assign him so that he can be thinking about that. OK - off to find socks. . . wish me luck!

swellmomma Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 work is all done, kuk sool is done, only the girls trained, both boys were having crying fits during their own lessons. Ds15 did his community service hours. Only 20 left to go out of 60. Meeting with career counsellor went well, he seems more on track with suggesting college programs that may only be 1 year certificates but require ds to actually graduate with proper levels not just bare minimum for trades. I had a nice soak in the tub and it helped me feel more human. It is not 1040ish pm and I have to be up at 4am for work so I am headed to bed. School did not happen beyond listening to more of the BBC audio we are listening to of the Odyssey and dd6 practicing skip counting by 5s on her fingers and toes but it was still a good day.
