MysteryJen Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Good morning! I am up super early as I just couldn't stay sleeping through the activity of the morning. Dd1 and dh just left. Ds1 is being picked up in 20 minutes. The paper isn't here yet. Good grief! I am going to make coffee, read the paper, leave to pick up dd1 in two hours. And hopefully, get a few chores done. To do today: oversee school (dd1 and ds2 are doing a practice SAT this morning) do school with dd2 and ds3 school administration sports administration pay a couple of bills write a little/do a little art take a nap! PM practice: two pools Have a great day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Good morning! We got home safely late, late last night, and thanks for all the prayers! We all slept in since it is still officially spring break. I'm not sure what I want to do first today.There are so many projects I'd like to get done over the next 3 days before we start school again, but I hate to set myself up for failure. I think I'll just add stuff as I get it done today. Coffee and computer time is just about done now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyinTN Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 MissKNG--Panzer is adorable! :001_wub: Amy...so happy you had a safe trip! :thumbup: I'm waiting for the delivery guys to get here.....I really am not good at waiting. :toetap05: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tress Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 The kids talked me into biking to the shops to buy summer shoes. Now I'm really tired. I think it's the combination of seasonal allergies and time change because of Daylight Saving Time.....I have been soooo tired this week. I really need to study now, but I don't think I will be very productive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Good morning Girlies, It is indeed Friday. I am really wanting a date with Dh this weekend, but it just is not going to happen. Besides the usual issue of procuring a babysitter, we have too much going on this weekend. Sigh! ** school. Got verse quiz done, spelling test done, reading with DS1 is done, too. Kids are outside right now. I don't want to bring them in, but on Fridays we have to be done by noon since we leave for co-op right after lunch. ** have to do the rest of school. ** co-op ** ds2 guitar lessons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 Talked another phlebotomist through how to get blood out of a turnip (me). Did all my labs. Came home and ate. My kids did their chores and pet care (mostly) before I came home. Dd is working on practice tests for her achievement test - something she felt like she needed. Since she was able to find the right test book in the Pit of Doom (aka the school room), I'm letting her go at it. Ds is working on robotics. Dh is doing some home repair. I had better get off of my rear and clean the kitchen before I have to go to physical therapy. PS - Tress, I find it endearing when you do sprints in the parc but just a note that in English that would be spelled "park". Unless you mean something else?

mom31257 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I've been doing some finalizing on dd's transcript and grades so she can apply for dual enrollment next week. Once I pulled it all out, I realized I didn't have a couple of things finished from LAST YEAR! I tidied up the living room which is where ds' school desk is. I made breakfast and lunch as well as boiled eggs for the salad we'll have tonight. I stopped everything to watch some Phineas and Ferb with ds and his friends. I LOVE that show! I had a long phone call with another homeschool mom. She had sinus surgery on Monday, and I wanted to check on her. We ended up talking for an hour about her church and me giving her advice on some things she could do with the children's church program she directs. Now to see what else I can get done today...

MysteryJen Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I just checked in and Jean, you saved my load of towels! Now, they will be done before we leave for practice. My dryer is making a terrible noise, but it is still working. Lots of stuff done, lots of things still to do, but first...nap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tress Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 PS - Tress, I find it endearing when you do sprints in the parc but just a note that in English that would be spelled "park". Unless you mean something else? Thanks! I do mean a park, with grass, trees, flowers. It's even called 'park' in Dutch :D. No idea why I would spell it wrong. (Off to edit all my posts.......ehhhh, no, too tired, I'll only edit today :lol:). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 My neighbor gave me several packages which arrived while we were gone. I've spent the last hour and a half pouring over curricula I purchased at the convention. Dh is making IKEA decaf coffee, so I'll be enjoying a cup of that soon. Maybe I can figure out what else I should do today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Dinner is done, and instead of another task or project, I've declared it a board game marathon night. Ticket to Ride, Dominion, Risk, and Settlers of Catan are definitely going to be in the line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Back from co-op. It's been very good the past couple of weeks. One of the dads, who is a beekeeper, has been teaching us about bees. And I am very inspired. I want a hive now! Had a horrible morning with DS1. He has been particularly dreadful this past week. I was in tears on the way to co-op, but I had some good visiting with my friends there and came back feeling much better. Friends are so important. Especially friends you can be dead honest with. And these gals are great, nobody acting like they've got it all together. We're all just moms doing the best we can and struggling to get through the day.

MysteryJen Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Back home. Ds1 is playing one his games right now, according to the schedule. I am sure I will not hear about later :lol: Today was productive and I am planning a quiet night. The practice SAT was not nearly as disastrous as I anticipated, though there is plenty of room for improvement! Have a great night everyone!

mom31257 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Game night is over, and I'm heading to bed soon. We had a good time, though, and took some breaks along the way. I've totally fallen off the carb and sugar wagon this week with traveling, seeing family, eating out, having junk food in the house we visited, etc. I can tell I've gained a little bit of weight back, but i don't even want to know how much. I did somewhat okay today until dh asked dd to make brownies for our game time. It's always a new day tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
