MysteryJen Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Good morning! It is a meet weekend here. I am off in a bit with dd2 and ds3. Dh has the afternoon sessions. Everyone had great races last night, so it was a good way to start. We have to put in an appearance at a confirmation party tonight. We won't stay too long, I think. Tomorrow is a repeat day. Have a great day everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustEm Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 hmm. I try to keep my Saturdays as free from housework as possible. Nothing more than an hour but its usually a good hour because dh is cleaning also and the kids have to get a good 15 minutes in during that hour. So this is what we will tackle today housework wise. There are also our fun things listed for the day. -Cardio class -kids kung fu -ds acrobatics -dh clean bathrooms -kids straighten up downstairs - sweep downstairs -mop downstairs -stock pantry with new food (I was given a bunch of free food from a pet sitting client. I will only need to buy meat, veggies, eggs, and milk from the store for the next few months!!!) -clean out pantry/coat closet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I don't think I'm making it to Kroger to do the "big shop" for the week, but I'll still have to go to pick up ice cream for the party. They have the non-dairy stuff I need on sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Smith Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I can't easily go out today, boys either. During the night Eldest had a bit of a cough and sounded congested so we aren't going out today - even though it is Free Comic book day. Dh is away for a extra long weekend taking care of his Dad and family matters several hours away. On a bright note the other day Eldest really got into Dealing with Dragons and read the whole book in a day. I happily was able to download the whole audio book series from the library so the boys have something to listen to. Meanwhile my only plan is to putter around with chores today.

They'll probably get a little time to play before bed at 7!!! After that I'll sweep and mop downstairs and then relax for the night! The park was fun and my dd was able to ride her bike for the first time ever!! hope everyone had a wonderful day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 OMG! Some of you have SO much to do today!! I can't believe it but I accomplished everything but Vespers. I'm just too pooped to go tonight. MD sheep and Wool Festival was great! Such a beautiful day too... but boy was it crowded. I don't remember ever seeing that many people at the MDSWF... I hate crowds so it was a bit overwhelming. I've also noticed that when I got to stuff like that there's a stimulation overload. So many venders and so much stuff to look at. I'm exhausted. I think I'm going to soak in the tub and read a book for a while and let the fam. fend for themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 Folded and put away 3 loads of laundry. 1 load in washer, 1 load in dryer. Took a two hour nap. Got things ready for the library and paid a fine. :glare: :crying: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie Smith Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 With Eldest a bit sick, and Dh away for a long weekend it has been very quiet here. I haven't even left the house today. It's kind of strange. I hope to get out tomorrow if Eldest is feeling better. (Well I did step out on the porch to collect the recycle bins.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readinmom Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Laundry is done dh and I got a good deal on mattress and bed for dd hit a few garage sales in the morning and bought classical cds unopened for 50 cents It's too hot and the stores were crowded so put off grocery store until tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Load #2 totally done. And with that I thought I was done for the day until ds told me that he needed stuff washed for tomorrow. Sigh. He loaded the washing machine but because he's going to go to bed I will have to make sure it gets in the dryer. (Not a huge imposition but I'm tired!) Went through all the mail and sorted the bills. Imposed on my "poor, overworked" children to tidy the living room of all of their stuff. Now I need to actually pay those bills.

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Paid most of the bills until my bank's website went down. (Should I be worried?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
