Luckymama Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Today we have family coming to dinner----the college kids, The Girlfriend, my sister's family (5), and the sister who lives in Colorado plus her friend (dsis is in this area for two weeks to teach some classes and for a poetry competition). Dh cleaned the wood floors when he got up :) I need to --make a double batch of baguettes (I only have the one triple pan so I have to plan when to start the second batch) --assemble two meat lasagnas (made the sauce last night; one will go in the freezer) --make a veggie lasagna (no tomatoes) --decide on a dessert... --oops, de-Science-Olympiad the dining room table :lol: I would like to --do some gentle Pilates --pick up library holds (could be done tomorrow) Dd has ballet from 11-4:30 today. Before she leaves she gets to do some basic cleaning. I am looking forward to later today :) We don't see our youngest sister that much--maybe twice a year--since she moved after my parents died.

KrissiK Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Morning Girls, DH is home. He got home around 9:00 last night, but will be off to Vegas next week again. His company headquarters is there now. Fortunately, it's only a 1 1/2 hour flight from Fresno and in our same time zone, so it's not really a big deal. Today.... ** bake DS's birthday cake ** make homemade icecream ** try to figure out what to make for birthday dinner tonight (grandparents are coming over) **dd has kingdom Kids practice ** clean house ** whatever else needs to be done It's a beautiful day out this morning! I wish I could work outside, but I don't think that's going to happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie in Ma Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Picked up dd from boyfriend's, 45 minute round trip.

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 I apologize in advance for inserting a rant, but here goes: If you had put away your screwdriver the other day when you used it, then you would not now be running around asking me where it is. I have no idea where it is and am not going to put myself into a lather to find it. If you had put the manual for the pressure washer with the pressure washer last time it was used (or gotten it back from whatever family member I suspect had borrowed it last time) then you would not be getting me out of the shower dripping wet to ask me where it is. And no, I'm not going to streak around the house naked to look for it. (I did look for it after I was dressed, but I have no idea where it is.) I am sick. Everyone knows that I'm sick. I am sick enough that I am spending thousands of dollars on medical bills and am now pumping my sixth antibiotic into my poor tired body. I need to rest. I cannot move the ILs. I cannot move the ILs. I cannot move the ILs. I have now bribed my dd11 with a promise of lunch at McDonalds for the privilege of not driving the hour plus round trip to drop her off at the ILs. She can't help out that much anyway - not with the big stuff that they really need help with. And. . . . I am sick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already today: slept in breakfast watched Game of Thrones with dh & put disk in mail cleaned up living room laundry going dh and dd went for a short hike at a nearby state park attempted to make secret agent brownies but they are too dark chocolate and a little bitter attempted to make whipped coconut cream, it tastes good but isn't fluffy still to do: tidy up more of the house figure out if I'm going to take the dessert anyway or make something else (home group with church tonight) figure out what I can eat for dinner before I go (they're having a baked potato bar) go to the home group meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 It is noon: The "boys" were out the door by 9:30 am. I managed to get breakfast and get showered and dressed and get dd to her volunteering by 10 am. Both kids fed and took care of their animals before heading out. Then I sort of "collapsed" at home out of exhaustion. It has taken me an hour, one blanket at a time, but my bed is now made! Now I'm going to work on the kitchen in short 2 to 5 minute bursts.

mom31257 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I made some almond flour muffin/cupcakes. They taste better than the brownies but still not great. I guess lo-carb desserts aren't meant to taste good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 I'm on a roll! I managed to empty and fill and run the dishwasher in one 15 minute burst of energy! Woo hoo!

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Took dd out for her McDonald's bribe. Dd took the phone call asking if we were coming to help with the move. . . :banghead: :lol: Um. . . no. Need to take meds. Then between rests and possibly a nap if my body will let me, I'll throw in some laundry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRG Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I did way more housework today than I care to do on a Saturday! My house was clean when I went to bed last night but throughout the day it was looking like a pig sty. I'm happy to say it is good shape again :) Sweeping, vacuuming, dishes, laundry--all done AGAIN!

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Watched two episodes of Dr. Who with dd. Got one load of laundry in the washing machine. Talked to my mom. I wish I could be there with them right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Worked all day. Came home and climbed right into the bath to get the smell of onions off me and relax my swollen ankles. Dinner now in the oven, laundry is going and I am getting ready to tackle my chores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Load # 1 is in the dryer. Load # 2 is in the washer. I went through the mail. I have to pay bills tonight. I'm not feeling so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
