NoseInABook Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I don't waaaanna. But I will! -Dishes to put away and breakfast dishes to go in the dishwasher -Laundry folded and put away. -Playroom vacuumed. -Toys tossed into said playroom instead of at my kitchen table. -Quickly lesson plan because I didn't get to it last night... and then toss schoolwork to the kids. -Scrub my floors repeatedly because I have two 2 year olds in underwear today who aren't 100% potty trained. Or even 95% for my son. *shifty eyes* -Make beds. -Supervise the cleaning up of the Lego room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Dh is applying for teaching jobs not quite so far away (current school is 100 miles from home). He got a call today from a school about 50 miles away. It would be challenging drive because of the population and types of roads, but it starts later and would be less of a drive. I think it would be a school with better behaved students as well. Please pray he'll know if it's right if he's offered the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MomtoCandJ Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Grrrr!!! Found out that the last place that changed my oil (not Walmart, it was a local tire place) stripped my oil plug and didn't tighten the oil filter enough. The guys at Walmart replaced my plug for free and made sure my filter was tight. I know that Walmart gets a lot of flack but I love the tire and lube center at my local Walmart, they always let me know if something is up with my car and if they are able to, they fix it. A lot of times with out charging me for it. If they can't fix it, they tell me a good place to get it fixed :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Got dd settled with her lit. assignment and did not back down despite her tween tantrum. I explained that I am required to educate her by the state and even if they didn't require it, we would require it as parents anyway. . . . Dh off to work. Ds settled with his afternoon work. Went through all the mail and have bills sorted and ready to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmeblue Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I'm *almost* done with the name plate, should be able to get it done after the girls are in bed. I got a bit done on the science planning, but it's a bigger job than I had initially thought. Haven't done any reading yet...we'll see if I have enough mental energy left for that tonight once the name plate is done! I may just end up staring at the TV.

TammyinTN Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Hope everyone with sick family members will be on the mend soon. Today was busy....26 bags of mulch is down--60 new plants are in and wild flower seeds are down on the fence line. I'm tired, but the rain is coming tomorrow and hope everything will get well established and growing heartily. Hope everyone has a lovely evening!

Luckymama Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 9:23pm and I just got off the treadmill. I ran out of daylight today! Today's gardening: moved some perennials and bulbs (scooped up daffodil clusters lol), trimmed one last bush, and spread a gigantic box of pinestraw from pinestraw.com (yes, I know large sections of the country have way more pinestraw than they can use but it needs to be shipped here---I won't use traditional bark or wood based mulches because of the treat of shotgun fungus (google it and imagine what that can do to a white house)). I need to divide some daylilies tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneStepAtATime Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Ran out of likes, but I was liking you all in spirit. DS now feeling better and ate a bit of dinner. DD feeling much better but hated the choices for dinner so ate very little. Working on tweaking some lessons for tomorrow, plus some additional laundry and clean up after dinner, but I am considering my list pretty much done for today. Hope everyone has a great evening and gets plenty of rest, wherever you may be. Best wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 OK - I am going to take my bad dog for a walk. (The poor good dog will be left behind because she can't hop that far.) The bad dog and I really need to get our exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
