I'm in for Monday. Hre is my to-do list

 

Load dishwasher

Laundry

Clear off 1 of the rolling bookshelves in prep for listing for sale

Decide if I can part with another 4 drawer file cabinet, and if so empty & list for sale

Sort dd's outgrown clothing by size & season, then list on craigslist. Remember to offer to handyman's wife 1st in trade

Ship sold items

Continue cleaning living room

Photo & list 2 more shelves of books on FB

Get dd's curtains up

Figure out what to do with the giant stack of food mags in the kitchen

Work on budget

Call County agency about the utility assistance app that was supposed to have arrived over 6 weeks ago & still hasn't.

Ask handyman friend for quote on grey water line for dishwasher, since he will be here later this week to fix fridge anyways

Make sure I have enough lightbulbs to replace all the burnt out lights when handyman is here {he does it when he has another job here as I am just too short to change most of them, even with a ladder}

Work on HS need list to carry in purse for upcoming book sales

Shower for both dd & myself

The 'second day of Easter' is a national holiday, so I'm not tackling anything :lol:!

 

We are going to visit my sister and eat dinner there.

I'm going to read some Latin and finish reading my scifi book.

 

I hope everyone has a great day :D.

Poor Child #2 now has whatever child #1 had and is throwing up periodically.

 

To Do list:

Clean up whatever got thrown up on

Rewash the dog bed since one round apparently wasn't enough

Pay bills

School for DC #1

Read books with DC #2 when they feel better; plus history lesson since he insisted

Take DH stuff to dry cleaner (ok, maybe tomorrow ;)

Research technology help for both DC

Reorganize education room (working on it!)

Clean out refrigerator

Take a nap to make up for the minuscule amount of sleep I have achieved over the past week. (well this was a pipe dream but I was hopeful)

Try with all possible effort to avoid getting sick   :)

 

 

Jean, good luck at the drs.

Sadie, your meal prep post is making me incredibly hungry.

Ameena, good luck getting everything prepped for selling.

 

And Tress, I agree with Sadie, that sounds like a lovely day!  

 

Best wishes everyone...

Good morning!

I am waiting at practice for the girls. Than back home, ds2 has a dentist appointment. Regular school, write up final for ds1, work on his list for his trip and start to get his stuff ready.

We have some laundry to do, kids rooms to clean, and I will need a bit of a nap. I think I got a new version of dh's cold and I completely blame him. :)

 

Have a great day everyone!

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.

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.

To do:

Laundry

Vacuum downstairs

 

Home Depot for some soil, herb plants

Kohls for sheets for ds

Target for Rx

Grocery Store

Library for some very overdue items  :glare: 

 

Today is my first day of juicing.  I usually do green smoothies, but am giving this a go.  Wish me luck!

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 :)

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
