KrissiK Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Good morning my cyber-friends! Hope you are all bright-eyed and bushy tailed this morning. I got up this morning excited (or telling myself I was excited) for my morning constitutional, walked out the door and it was raining. Usually I can hear the rain in the rain gutters before I get out of bed, but apparently not this time. So, I did some stretching and resistance band exercises and called it good. So, here I am with my coffee, Bible and devotional in a quiet house.It's a good thing. On the docket for the day.... ** school ** finish plans for Rocketry class at co-op ** babysit friend's boys this afternoon, while she and her dh go meet/bring home their new fost-adopt daughter. They've very excited. I saw a picture and she's got a sweet smile, both on her lips and in her eyes, so I think it's going to work out. Praying about the meeting this morning. And I bought her a "Fancy Nancy" book, as this is their only girl. ** dd7 has Kingdom Kids this afternoon ** dinner at my parents' house this evening Have a good day, ladies!

I have laundry to do but holding off to get all the wet clothes from the boys playing outside School--it's not snowing enough to call a snow day ;) Vacuuming that I didn't do last night Something for supper--I have some soup in the freezer that I will probably take out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Good morning! I am back from am practice. It was -9 F when we left at 5 am. Dd1 swims outside and it was -6 F when we left. Her coach looks like the Michelin Man with all his layers. She said it wasn't bad until the walk to the locker room. I thought it was cold inside the bagel shop where I had coffee and read the paper. :laugh: Dh and ds1 are off on the college trip and everyone else is still sleeping. To do: laundry shower and make bed school for ds3, dd2 help ds2 with edits on paper--ponder getting him tested for dysgraphia again check in on deadlines with dd1 work on school administration pick up study more decluttering get dinner ready to go for tonight pm practice: swimming pick up from judo, poor ds2 will have to walk if he wants to go. He did that on Tuesday and I received enough comments that I am officially the worst parent in the club. Dude, read The Long Winter. It is not that cold here. Habits: green smoothie write 30 minutes art/craft 30 minutes (if my fingers warm up!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tress Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Thanks, Jean! I was just coming back to post that I'm going to give up on Thursday and hope Friday will be better. Everbody is still alive, has eaten dinner (take out) and that's about all I can manage. See you all tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hello! It'll a little after 11:00am PST. Got quite a bit of school done, but the best part of the day is the rain! The hills were so brown, the poor cattle had nothing to eat, no rain for spring wildflowers, but now, looks like we'll have some grass and wildflowers. It's not drought breaker, and the politics around here are ugly because of the water problems, esp. with the environmentalists. They cause the most problems! But, at least the grasses and trees are getting a drink right now and there is some snow in the mountains. School is on it's way to getting done, the kids are reasonably cooperative today. Gotta think of something for lunch! Have a good rest of your day everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 I'm glad that you got some rain, Krissi. I hope you get a lot more soon. My noonish report: All my potions, libations and other medical tortures have been endured for the morning. Pet care is done. Kitchen is clean. Kids did morning school - Alg 2 for ds, reading and half of math for dd. They are eating lunch and then will head out to paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Struggling here today. It took me an hour but I managed to lug 4 baskets full of laundry downstairs, sort them all and start my first load of whites. (It would have taken my dh or even my kids less than 15 minutes. Sigh.) And no, they couldn't help me this time since they are off painting this afternoon. I'm going to have to rest for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Take it easy, Jean. Don't push yourself. I know, easier said than done! Well, school is done! Kitchen is almost cleaned up! Dropped dd off at Kingdom Kids Had a few more late RSVPs to rocketry class, so I need to prepare for them! Picked up extra kid #1 from bus stop. The school district makes you meet the kindergarteners at the bus. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Went through my desk, the dining room table and the mail before finding the insurance cards I needed. Got the right cards matched to the right insurance policies (the insurance co. had sent me the wrong cards initially) so that everything is now correct.

MomtoCandJ Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Krissi, that's why I put get dd1 off the bus on my list. She's in kindergarten so I have to be at the stop to get her. Dh puts her on in the morning. My weekday life revolves around being home at 3:45 to get her. Oh and all done with my list :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Sigh. Took myself off of high powered anti-inflammatories that I've been taking for an entire month because I was starting to have bad stomach pains. My throat is swelling up. Back on the stupid anti-inflammatories. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Chiming in at the end of the night since I was gone all day. So last night I got to my brother's in Calgary (5 hours from me) this am I went to the endocrinologist, still more queries than answers but have some more tests to do. Finished up there and drove the 3 hours north to Edmonton. Got to town just in time to go straight to the lawyer for ds10s MVA. Swore an affidavit, got filled in on where we are in the case now etc. Then scooted through rush hour traffic back to my mom's to get my kids. Loaded everyone up, got gas and dinner and drove the 2 hours east back to Vermilion for the teens shooting practice. They were 45 minutes late but that couldn't be helped. After shooting came back home, unloaded car, got littles into bed, now checking in here before I go to bed. Tomorrow will be crazy busy but at least all in town and I have another bad sinus cold so coughing like crazy again and needing some sleep. I can not wait for Saturday when I can sleep in.
