Kelly1730 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Did everything on yesterday's list except the actual cleaning:P I did, however, gather up two large bags of clothing for the charity box and delivered them last evening. So, that counts;) today must involve cleaning of some sort laundry meals school flower gardening, weather permitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanvan Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Well, I'm having a tough time getting started today. Going to keep the list short so I don't feel overwhelmed. rework our schedule in order to finish a few subjects this summer (Lukeion Latin ate a lot of Ds's time this year) also try to get to art more consistently - work in progress water plants walk dogs w/ Dd morning chores- Dd has done dishes & cleaned kitchen table, I am straightening sort & start laundry emails - for some reason I am dreading this fill in the calendar for May discuss website updates w/ Ds, have him email or call Cocker Spaniel Club agility trial & dog show entries - not happening until tomorrow dinner afternoon chores remind Ds to clean downstairs bathroom, he mowed the lawn instead, bathroom is being saved for tomorrow. remind Dd to clean living room school, of courseI think that's all I want to think about now. Forgot to say 'Good morning!' Also done: computer desk cleared my sweaters put away one 3 4emails done put some books away donated a couple bags of books Dd also made brownies and homemade granola bars I predict we will get nothing done tomorrow...

KrissiK Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Good Morning, Everyone! The heat is ramping up around here. By tomorrow or Thursday it's supposed to be over 100 degrees. I am not ready for summer! Today.... ** school ** try to make it through the day without losing my temper. This hormonal stuff associated with peri-menpause is making me insane. I'm either yelling about how messy the house is, blah, blah, blah or crying for no reason at all....I did see my GYN yesterday and she's putting me in low-dose bcp to try to even things out for me. ** dd has tumbling ** dinner at my parents' house. Have a good day everyone ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Good morning! I have nothing much to put down for today's list. We had a very late night and are all dragging this morning. After lunch we will walk (about a mile, though it takes us 40 minutes to walk it with the youngers) to ds's class to see his project presentation. Dishes need to be done. Laundry needs to be folded. I have a new book from the library to start.Lunch - pb&j sandwiches Dinner - tuna noodle casserole, maybe soup instead? Depends on when we get home from presentation.

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Bah! I couldn't get to sleep right away last night and then I woke up 2 hours early this morning and couldn't get back to sleep. I am so tired. Clean kitchen Laundry allergy shots school vacuum pay those medical bills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRG Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I'm going to *swim* over to my parent's and drop off #2. Someone posted on fb that we got around 6 inches of rain last night. I don't know if that is accurate, but we got a lot of rain! I may take myself out to breakfast--tbd Watch The Blacklist season finale We are down to a handful of school lessons left and #1 has been doing a lot of it in the evenings. He has 2 Alg 2 lessons and a chapter or so of Bio 2 left. He's ready for summer break! I've got laundry going. I need to mop but I'm not feeling it today either ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Good morning! We had a late night with the confirmation (it was lovely), so everyone but dd1 slept in. She, of course, was out the door with dh at 5 am. I picked her up and by the time we came home, the painters were already started with prep work! Even with snow on the roof, the crew started on time. So today is: school for all, chores for all, laundry, wade through the stacks of paper on my study, and get the bills organized. And figure out something for dinner, dh is gone tonight. And I am making a list of all the things that will need to be done in the basement. Dh has taken over the travel arrangements for the summer, thank goodness. I definitely hate that! Have a great day!

JustEm Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Still feeling sick but thankfully not as sick. I doubt I'll get another day of relaxing in bed because the kids are going insane being stuck in the house with no mom to pay attention to them. I will attempt to entertain them the best I can and do a few other things that NEED to get done. -Wash cloth diapers -1 load of other laundry -Older kids to kung fu to get energy out. -Quick grocery store trip -Post office Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Bah humbug some more! I did fall asleep in my armchair and got a bit more sleep but now I'm in pain. Why is today acting like a Monday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoCandJ Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 It's so freaking humid!!!! Baby doesn't like to be sweaty and sticky (and neither does momma). We are now getting ready to nap with the fans blowing on us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Jean and Angi- :grouphug: Today has not been a good day for ds. He has had such an attitude about school. He's already lost privileges for 3 whole days. I let him cool off instead of pushing the issue, and we've had lunch. He has to get back to work now, like it or not. Hopefully, it will be better.

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Amy :grouphug: for you too! Human care including breakfast done.

Baseball mom Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Late night, ds allergies acting up, my body aching = not much getting done. I hurt myself cleaning the other day then aggravated it trying to do more yesterday. (see I shouldn't clean :lol: ) Instead of doing cleaning I will be things like clearing emails organizing files on computer making lists to go with summer projects pointing out things for dc to do reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Baseball Mom, I agree. Cleaning is evil! Load #1 is in the washing machine Rice cooker is doing it's thing. Dh and dd are running with Rocky so hopefully he will settle down and stop driving me crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Ds' attitude did improve. I hope these pre-teen, middle school years aren't going to be hard with him. Dd will only by home next year and then off to college for most of the school year. What will I do when it's just me and him???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Cloth diapers are in the dryer. Time to head to the post office before kung fu. I think I can skip the grocery store trip for today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Folded and put away the last load of laundry from yesterday. Made and ate lunch. My bloodsugars are doing really well with Metformin! Dh's dinner made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 School and house things are done. I'm going to go walk for an hour or so before doing some Pilates for at least half an hour (that part will be after dinner). May or may not weed. Definitely need to work on the packing list for the China trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 School done Dh off to work Load #1 in dryer and Load #2 is in the washer And. . . drum roll please. . .

Susan in TN Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Jean, congratulations on defeating the Dreadful Medical Bill Payment dragons! Good morning!I have nothing much to put down for today's list. We had a very late night and are all dragging this morning. After lunch we will walk (about a mile, though it takes us 40 minutes to walk it with the youngers) to ds's class to see his project presentation. Dishes need to be done. Laundry needs to be folded. I have a new book from the library to start.Lunch - pb&j sandwichesDinner - tuna noodle casserole, maybe soup instead? Depends on when we get home from presentation. I forgot what a mile-and-a-half walk in sunny 90* feels like while carrying your 5yo. gah. Really, the kids did great and I didn't carry her much at all. We pretended we were on an adventure hike and eventually the kids found some pretty leaves to distract them. Lots of roses to stop and smell on the way. I am glad we were able to drive back home. My plan for the rest of the night is to make some dinner (the vote is for tuna noodle casserole), bring dd to girls' Bible study, put the youngers to bed, and then watch TV while folding laundry. Is there anything good on network TV on a Tuesday night (we don't have cable)? I may have to try Netflix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly1730 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Did everything on today's list including quick cleaning master bath. How many quick cleanings can you get away with before you have to do a major clean? Hmm, I guess time will tell. :lol: Planted some more flower beds around pool area, more to do. I counted this as my exercise for the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnM Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Spent the day at the doctor about 45 min. away. Oldest son had a bit of a scare but got more tests and he is fine, but it did take most of the day. Then we had Venture Crew tonight. We will try for a more normal day tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
