Luckymama Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 It is absolutely gorgeous here this morning! Today I will --make corn tortillas for tonight's enchiladas (I pulled filling and sauce from the freezer yesterday) --weep over the baby redbud tree damaged by the back-side-of-Arthur winds yesterday and trim what is left into a decent shape --pick berries --weed the fruit garden --go to the library w the girls --finish that gosh darn syllabus (I've been going through the official course description outline and checking to make sure I have every last bit covered. It's easier than doing it as we go through the year.) --proofread the syllabus again --submit the syllabus --walk 3.5-5 miles, depending on the loop I choose --finish my book :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly1730 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Counting down with you, Melissa! I hope your dh takes you out for a nice, quiet, just the two-of-you dinner. Well, that's what "I" would want, you may want something totally different:) We ended up with 34 people for our 4th of July party. Beautiful day, a tad windy. Dh tied the canopy/tent to the fence and it was a good thing, because the wind lifted it up and over the fence but it didn't go any further since it was tied down. I have today and most of tomorrow to recoup for next week, which is our church's day camp. I lead a class of 1-3rd graders from 9:15-3:15 Mon.-Fri. I will also have my two oldest grandsons here (11 &9 ) spending the week so they can attend day camp with us. It's a busy, exhausting week but a lot of these kids come from homes where they don't know the Lord, so, eternally speaking, it's worth it;) Need to run some errands, grocery store, a friend left some things behind after the party so dropping those off at her house. Laundry that I didn't do yesterday because of party Thinking through my week so that I can get out of the door every morning at 8:45 with four boys :willy_nilly: .

mom31257 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Melissa--I know you can't wait! Kelly--that's A LOT of people to have over! Sounds fun. After I'm ready this morning, I'm heading to my dad's in TN. I'll stay until late tomorrow and come back to my sister's in north GA to spend the night and home Monday morning. Ds has a big evaluation at the ortho Monday afternoon, and I don't want to miss it. I won't have internet at his house, so I'll check in with you girls tomorrow night or Monday. I hope everyone has a GREAT weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 :willy_nilly: I look around and there is too much to do and so I'm overwhelmed. Deep breath in, deep breath out. OK - let's start in the kitchen - the very first place to start when I'm overwhelmed. I'll be back after cleaning the kitchen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 Kitchen done. Now the laundry (#2 on the "too much to do" list). This may or may not be distracting me from the number one priority of what I have to tackle - bills. 2 loads folded. 1 load now in dryer Now - put away folded laundry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 I am frustrated and a bit mad. A child did not obey me when I told her to take a wet towel down to the actual laundry room, hid it in some dirty clothes and now the whole lot is moldy. I'm trying to save them now. We'll see. (And you know how often doing laundry is on my list so it's not because I don't keep up on the laundry.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 Lots of weeping and gnashing of teeth here (not by me). One child has $50 in library fines. Their account has been frozen. I had warned them repeatedly and they chose the "if I ignore it, it will go away" form of problem solving. I am not going to bail them out. All materials have to go back to the library and they cannot check anything new out until they find a way to pay off the fines (which they could do quickly if they set their mind to it).

Rosie_0801 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 It's Sunday now, but on my list is to Get out of bed (it's cold, there's no one else here and it's cold) Go to the city Buy cheese Protest against the government Reacquire my daughter Drive all the way back again (only 2 hours, but a rather boring 2 hours) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 Books got taken back to the library. Child has an immediate way where they could earn half of the money for fines if he's motivated enough - we'll see if he is. Drove 40 minutes to get a t-shirt - a special t-shirt from last week's 5k race. Spent a mind-blowing amount of money for athletic shoes for a child who really needs them. The shoe salesman was shocked that the old shoes were about 2 years old. When I saw the sticker for the new ones it reminded me of why it had been two years. . . . Got socks too. Tried on some pants and got really depressed. Did not buy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 Ist load washed twice with tons of oxy-clean. One shirt is unsalvageable. The rest in that load looks ok. 2nd load being washed twice with tons of oxy-clean. On second wash now. Took walk with dd and Rocky. Talked about next year's school even though she didn't want to. Got in my steps. Ds got in his steps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 Found ds' passport :party: 2nd load in dryer Got bills all gathered and matched together. Some portions have been paid so that will lower the amount due. Phew! Need to work on them some more tomorrow but I feel better for having worked on them some instead of putting them off yet again. Got some stuff for tomorrow put in the crockpot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
