Hope most got done. Revise school schedules because I know much didn't get done while they played in rare snow Create plans for new astronomy study for science Look on boards to see if someone else came up with plans suitable for middle school Print out and organize materials for mapwork/timeline, since we have done almost none for 2 months Watch episodes of Downton Abbey, Season 2 Read Bloodletter's Daughter (good book, so far) Notice there is just no room on the list for cleaning/cooking. Darn. ETA: skipped all the school part, went straight to DA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicagoshannon Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I'm going to try to tackle the master bedroom today. I need to go through the closet and clean off the dressers. I cleaned the cabinets under all three bathroom sinks yesterday. :) DH and kids have been assigned to clean the playroom. If the snow stops we'll make a goodwill run.

Impish Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 *groans* I should be here more often. Accountability might help. I suppose 'nap' shouldn't be on the list, right? :P Ok. At the very least, today I need to: Get laundry done. Now, I'm not insane, nor am I Superwoman, so I'm not about to say ALL the laundry. But a cpl of loads through, and maybe *gasp* even some put away, rather than living in baskets would be a good idea. If for no other reason than I'm running out of baskets. Wipe down appliances, and remove Boo's art wall. (Honestly, I don't know why I bother to wash that particular wall. He's chosen it for his artistic display, and no matter what I do, manages to find another crayon/pencil/some sort of writing drawing implement to redecorate it) Bathroom. And...nap.

MysteryJen Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Good morning! Snowing here. Still. So I will have to get kids who aren't at swim practice (outside!!!) to shovel. Most of us are going to see Hamlet this afternoon with mil. So I only have a few hours. Make a cake for dessert/dinner stuff is all ready to go. Clean kitchen pick up downstairs That is probably all I will get done....best not to be too ambitious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Morning Ladies! Well, I slept in (7:30 is sleeping in for me) and got breakfast finished. Kids are doing their usual Saturday chores, boys have extra chores for sloppiness in cleaning up their room and general disrespect. It's been helping that I make them lists and schedules. They tend to work much better when things are mapped out for them, they can check things off. Today... ** work on Children's church lessons ** do some yardwork, including dormant spraying our two fruit trees before they start blooming. With this weather we've been having spring has come a month early. It's very bad. ** grocery shopping ** fold laundry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Can barely function this morning. Dh has banned me from painting his parent's house at least for today. (Yay! He realizes that I have trouble saying no.) Dh is working like an energizer bunny. He made pancakes for breakfast with dd. He has cleaned the kitchen and is mopping the floor. I've managed to get dressed (but not showered) and have eaten breakfast. And I did manage to make my bed. (faint woo-hoo!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Well, it's almost noon. I sprayed my fruit trees and roses with that insecticidal oil stuff. I did a lot of clean up in the back yard, cleaned up and cut back my herb garden. I love winter clean up. Now, shower, lunch, then grocery shopping. Brandy - I noticed that little "got fired" in there. I'm sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swellmomma Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 applied for a new job doing some major science planning because we are WAY behind, we pretty much neglected it all last term, yikes! did some work in the kitchen, livingroom and backroom, but none of them are done because I have been pulling out all the science and math books from my backroom storage to reorganize in the livingroom shelves, which means they are piled on the kitchen table, couches etc. made pork chops for supper house is very quiet, dd6 is away tonight, dd14 is sleeping due to a headache, ds10 is watching movies he got from the library in the basement and ds15 is watching the movies he got in the livingroom. I have been able to catch up on the tv episodes I missed last week while lesson planning. It's wonderful and a rare event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I was able to go yesterday with no problems. Mother isn't in pain, and the plan is to keep her as comfortable as possible. I hope and pray she could hear me. I talked to her Sunday before this happened Monday, so I'm glad I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Smith Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 The boys friend came over at 11. Since right now they just want to play computers I took them for a walk to Harvey's (fast food restaurant). With the stops in snow piles, play structure, snowball fight. The walk there and back took 2 hours. Dh even joined us. Then I shoveled the sidewalk a bit. After the boys played computers for 2 hours. (Dh gave me a rub while they were playing. :)) We all played Apples to Apples, then The Great Dalmoti, then Poo. Then more shoveling, and friend went home. The rest has been a nice quiet night. Dh just made me cupcakes. Tommorow, tommororw I'll clean more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
