JustEm Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Today is a day of getting annoying tasks completed where I have to talk to a lot of people! -call mechanic to set appointment for car -bring car to mechanic -pray that there are no expensive repairs recommended so we can sell it quickly and get the most money out of it -find a place that will detail the car and set up appointment -figure out if dh's ex wife is still on the title of the car (can't find the title so hopefully dmv will tell dh. He really doesn't want to have to deal with having her sign the title away) -call insurance company and figure out why our insurance was dropped and how we can change that!!! Its nice being pregnant and hearing you magically have no insurance anymore. -pet sit this morning, early evening, and late tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChemMommy Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 So, tell us about your book, ChemMommy!~ I'm working for Veritas Press and there are some seriously game-changing plans for science coming in Fall 2016 for high school science! I'm thrilled with the plans. They are academically-rigorous, scientifically accurate, and trivium-oriented. Salivating yet? I am! (Okay, I'm panicking a bit, too. Obviously, I'm writing the chemistry part, but I'm also the series co-editor. What have I gotten myself into???) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artichoke Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I think I'll join you ladies this week :) This is my annual de-clutter the house week. It's kind of a re-boot of our house for the next school year. My goals for today: DD's math lesson Go through, sort, and pack away materials from outside classes that I taught this past year Freeze and package four quarts of berries Move out of season items into the attic Check pantry for expired food and straighten Check refrigerator for any expired items and deep clean Begin packing list for vacation Errands this afternoon: Library Gym for workout Dry Cleaners Drop Recycling at Convenience Center Off to work now.

JustEm Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Just found out dh's ex wife is on the title but it says her name or my dh's name so that means we can sell it without her signature! this saves a lot of time and annoyance since she lives MANY states away and dh hasn't talk to her in over 7 years. Avoiding uncomfortable conversations is always a plus! Now to wait and see what the mechanic says about the condition of the vehicle in question.

Luckymama Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I weeded the fruit garden, uncovered three blueberry bushes (they're done fruiting), ate two handfuls of blueberries while standing in the sunshine :D, used that netting to cover up the ripening blackberries. I think the remaining blueberries will be done this week. Hopefully the uncovered blackberries will stay un-bothered :lol: Soooooo hot and sweaty now!

mom31257 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Good afternoon! I stayed at my sister's last night and got back in town just in time for ds' ortho appt. He only needs space maintainers on top and insurance will cover it at 100%! I've made calls about the coverage as well as the appointment to have it done. 1 load is done in the washer and needs to go in the dryer Dh took dd to play practice, and ds is riding to swim with our neighbor. I'll post as I get stuff done while they are gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteryJen Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Wow, everyone was so productive today! I'll chime in, in case there are any other slackers out there. I did very little on my list. Though I did make dinner and picked up my new sunglasses. I chatted with friends at swim team. I am now having a beer and idly wondering when dh and dd1 will be home. Have a great evening!

readinmom Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 MysteryJen, I wasn't a slacker but I am joining you with a beer. :laugh: Dh got home too late to go to the game. We are having an evening cocktail on the patio, instead. The crockpot rice and beans have been turned into enchiladas for the guys; dd will just have a cheese quesadilla. I didn't work on my online class but ds did turn in two tests, almost done with another. We worked hard around the house this weekend and donated eight bags of clothing to Goodwill. We helped dd purge all of her clothing and made a list of what she needs. Hope everyone has a great evening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
