Lizzie in Ma Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Good morning everyone! TGIF! Company coming for supper so I need to vaccum and clean the bathroom. Dh is going to grill the steak tips I am marinating so I just need to make the salad and brownies. Doing laundry because all my favorite things were dirty. Need to run to dd's boyfriend's house to drop off another day of her pills for her and a card and cookies for him. School with youngest. Read some more for my self imposed modern history learning.

mom31257 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Good morning, how are you Jean? I slept in after having to get up 2 times during the night to take care of Aunt Flo. I took ibuprofen 2 days in a row before I started, and I'm wondering if it could have made this worse or not. I still feel yucky, so we'll see what gets done today. breakfast ds' school: the writing assignment is the biggest priority today, then math. I'm going to go back and review fractions with ds. I'm seeing some mixing up of new concepts he's learned recently. dd' school: chem, alg 2, writing, test prep lunch haircut for ds any house work I feel like doing dinner watch next Game of Thrones disc from Netflix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Yay for Spring Break, Kristi! I wish we were, but we're taking our Spring Break when the schools around here do, so my kids won't be inside doing school while the whole neighborhood is out playing. So, we have another month to go. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Tress, you've had "one of those days"! I'll let you know later, how I am, Amy. I have a feeling that it is going to be a rough one as I get my meds properly sorted out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRG Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Next week is Spring Break for most TX schools so we're taking it. I'm looking forward to the break! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Today's immediate challenge - Operate in a house with only partial electricity. We do have electricity to the stove and the refrigerator, though nothing else in the kitchen works. I have electricity to my computer, though nothing else in the living room/dining room works (don't know why!) We have lights in the bathroom and the furnace works. I'm not sure yet about the hot water heater. I did get the kids to run a long extension cord down to the garage freezer though so we won't lose all our meat. So breakfast - eggs are cooking on the stove. I have one light - the one on the stove hood. I have an English muffin in the oven because I can't use the toaster. My broiler on the oven is broken though so I have it on bake. I'm going to have to juggle things around so I can use one of the few working outlets for the rice cooker for dh's dinner.

mom31257 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 A month ago today, we said goodbye to Mother at her graveside service. I miss her so much! I think I've cried a little every day. Enjoy your parents if you have them because I really had no idea how much it would hurt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Jean--how's your dad? I don't know. Phone is out with the electricity. I need to call my sister's husband and leave a message with my cell phone number so they can reach me that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Updates - power company has given us a temporary transformer. We have lights, power, action! The dishwasher is washing. Pigs in their blankets are in the oven. Dr. Who is being "dialed up". (My kids say this is not an appropriate way to describe what we are doing on Netflix. How do you say it in a more modern way?) My dad is not going to have surgery. His bones are too fragile and his hip is in shards that leave nothing to attach anything to. He's in the hospital at least until Monday. They will have to figure out what then. I think his independent life is now over. I have most of dh's dinner ready. The last bit just needs to be warmed up in the microwave. Yay, I can use the microwave! I'm back on my full meds and that is a good thing. I think this afternoon is going to be trying to put things back together after the last 16 hours of very cushy "camping". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Hugs, Amy! Jean, glad you have power! Just got back from co-op. We're building rockets. It went well. I'm just exhausted. ** leave in 5 minutes to take DS to guitar lessons ** come home! make salad quick! pick up DS and take the gang over to my friend's house. We're both "single moms" right now (her dh is out of town on business, too) so we're doing pizza and salad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
