Rosie_0801 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 There's nothing much left for me to do this Monday other than heat up dinner in an hour or thereabouts, so I'm watching more online lectures. I've been doing that interspersed with by bouts of housework for most of the day because I didn't have to do school. It was a public holiday and dd was with her dad. 3.45am? That is uncivilised.

Luckymama Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 No signs of spring here so I know what's going on with me isn't allergies! I'd better feel normal by Wednesday---dd has a ballet performance at the children's hospital. I won't be allowed in the door with even a sniffle. Today: --wake up dd (not sure if she changed her clock the other day) --facilitate her Science Olympiad needs --set out everything for this afternoon's practice event; make copies; run the chromatography ASAP --email Math Olympiad kids re Friday --exercise???? maybe a gentle walk on the treadmill This is a non-teaching week for me :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie in Ma Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Morning! I am not ready either Jean. :grouphug: Trying to do my chores queitly. Dd and boyfriend on the couch, asleep at last after the mother of all panic attacks last night. We prayed with her for some time and let them stay in the living room watching mindless sitcoms to calm her down. Broke my heart. I don't understand why they are getting worse when we've upped her meds. Makes me sad too, that I am no longer the one that comforts her most, but I am very glad she has him. Smelled smoke at 3am, housmate was trying to get the woodstove going, I forgot to tell him I was letting it go out so I could clean it. Had to open all the windows and doors for a bit. Always an adventure. Plus, daylight savings so we are all a bit tired. School with youngest Going to go help a friend set up a new computer at 10:30, then help another friend who accidentally deleted photos on her phone. Need to take the boyfriend to his dual credit classes at the college at 3:00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twooakharborhicks Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Oh my goodness, still haven't been to bed because we are all about to die from horrible spring allergies. Coughing and hacking all night, so nothing will be done, but I'll pretend. Me: Do the dishes DH left in the sink last night after dinner, no I don't have to check, they're definitely there Do yoga to convince myself I actually want to get up DO NOT TOUCH THE GIRL SCOUT COOKIES, cookies are not breakfast Eat Salad Go for a walk or if that's not possible workout inside Take my vitamins Drink green tea with honey in it Pretend I'm not dying from this horrible chesty cough whenever the children are looking. DS7: Write his short story, no it is not as bad as a root canal, stop acting like it is Read, I don't know, something. Yes read something. Go to classes. Ugh. Some math clearly needs to be done. DS4: Do our reading, he's up to reading a few simple words himself now. Must not slack off. Give the poor kid a paint brush. He just wants to create, why am I always stifling him? Oh right, because it's a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 work 730-11am at the daycare work 3-6 at the daycare in between shifts: school with all 4 after work: dd6 sparks 6-7 (need to take $30 for camp) go through my 15 minutes per room again, I don't like that no room is finished at the end of the night, but at least a chunk is being done and it is more manageable. Tomorrow I will be back to normal scheduling I hope and working 8 hours a day will be done until the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Good Morning, everyone! Allergies? Yes, right here! Got my Zyrtec, Astelin, Nasonex and that other stuff I take for post nasal drip ready and I still feel like death. Top that off with feeling yucky from the time change and I am not ready to tackle Monday. I hate Mondays, anyway. ** school ** mil coming for the morning ** clean up house for cleaners (sometimes I wonder if the stress of cleaning up the house and getting out of here when they are here is worth them being here. It's a toss up) ** library ** allergy shots ** bell choir Hope everyone feels better. Maybe we should all move to the desert where nothing blooms.

MysteryJen Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Good morning! With a 70 degree day on the way, allergies are revving up here as well. Today is a recovery day from the "busiest weekend ever." I almost cried when dd1 said she was going to morning practice today, but we went and are back. Everyone else is still sleeping. To do: trip info/need to talk to coach school administration sort food for week when I am gone laundry oversee chores clean master bath errands: gas, bank I am sure that I have more to do, but that is all I can think of right now.

MysteryJen Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 State went great for dd2 and dd3. It was actually the most successful (in terms of best times and scoring for the team in individual events and relays) ever. And they had a great time with their teammates. We feel really blessed in our team and coaches, and that the kids' hard work shone through their performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were outside riding bike this morning while my kids were doing grammar. I had to close all the blinds and still DS was in a pouty mood. I was glad to see them leave.

swellmomma Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 finished my morning shift and meeting at work teens working on their social studies assignment to send to their tutor lunch is pretty much ready, dd14 had to run to the grocery store for me to pick up some more spaghetti sauce and ds10 went with her to do his banking I leave for work again in an hour, their social should be done by then, though both are dragging their heels about it. I need to stop by the bank on the way to work and get money for dd6, and I need to fill the gas tank. dd6 has to stay home from daycare today to get to sparks on time as I can't leave at 5 like I normally would on a monday as my boss has a major meeting with the school board to see if we will still have our classroom next year or if we need to find a new location for the daycare. dd14 will walk her over there and I will pick her up at 7 cleaning will be after work, as will school for the younger 2 since this day has been so wonky already.

Luckymama Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Tea with sugar is settling my stomach...not doing much for my stuffy head but you can't win them all :) I set up a mock Rocks and Minerals test for dd, quizzed her on Water Quality (marine ecology), ran Solar System flashcards with her, held wood still while she cut it, and am now listening to her mumble about coral reef organisms as indicators of reef health. Whew. I will be Balsa Wood Assistant again later (dd is messing with her boomilever design, trying to improve the efficiency). Time to return the rock/mineral specimens to their boxes...and to set up another mock event for the morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 We are leaving shortly for pm practice and errands. Part of the traveling arrangements are falling through. Always rent your own car. Whenever, I think I can save money, it never works out. It should be sorted this afternoon. Dh is adamant about not paying for a car and sticking to the agreed arrangements. Of course, he is not the one stuck with the worst parent in the world. I am a pretty nice person, but I am not a saint. It will be a long five days. Sigh. Must. not. stress. the swimmer.

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 MRI done. Had a nose bleed right afterward, which they say is not normal but since it stopped right away, we're all hoping it was just a coincidence. Took dd to the humane society to look at rabbits. And then Petco to look at rabbit stuff. What am I thinking?! Stopped at Starbucks for a snack. Home researching a feed store and then we'll go there to look at rabbit stuff.

MysteryJen Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Glad the MRI is done, Jean. I am sure the nosebleed is a coincidence. The universe is full of coincidences! Car stuff straightened out. Worst parent included on email only because of her numerous complaints. Back to original plan, which is a good one. We also located some lost things (though two library books are still missing). It was a beautiful day outside, I am going to start believing that spring is just around the corner. Have a great night, everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
