Artichoke Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Looks like everyone is having a good day today :) So far, I've managed to do all of the normal daily chores and things. We're having lots of rain today so it's been a bit harder to get started. I'm felling lazy and just want to read in bed. That so can not happen today. Here's what I want to accomplish: DDs math lesson Master bedroom closet -- de-clutter Laundry for the week Laundry area -- de-clutter and wipe down Gym for a workout Phone calls: Dr Appt Business License -- This may take a while.

KrissiK Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Good Morning, I am being quite ambitious today..... ** popcicles made and in freezer - it's supposed to be 107 degrees today! ** canning tomatoes - in the process ** canning peaches - will begin after tomatoes ** laundry And our piano will arrive today! Went out and bought one yesterday. Pretty excited. It's pre-owned, but we bought it from a dealer who checked it out and certified it.

Luckymama Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 A piano! How wonderful :) I really want to learn to play someday. Did some laundry, sent dd her assignment, spent 3 hours exploring resourcing available to members of the AP Human Geography community, and talked with the girls for a while. Lunch after I hang up the next load! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 A piano! How wonderful :) I really want to learn to play someday. ! It was fun to buy. We went to a reputable dealer and bought a modestly priced pre-owned Baldwin, but while the salesman was writing it up, I sat down and played scales on a $117,000 Bosendorfer piano. And to my peasant ears, it didn't sound a whole lot different. But we did ask the guy why....why is this piano so expensive? Well, it is built from Austrian spruce that is grown on the north side of the mountain and harvested within a narrow window of time when the sap is doing something, blah, blah, blah. I was impressed!

Done: Dishes two loads of laundry beds made swim lessons 2 chapters read to DD2 TO DO: Pay bills go to the bank take the kids swimming at the community pool (I guess swim lessons aren't the same as fun swimming to them, darn that worked when they were little!)

Sweep and vac the living room and hall way Clean the upstairs bathroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 These early morning practices are killing me...I think I get up right in the middle of my sleep cycle. MysteryJen, how do you keep going the rest of the day? I drink coffee. Many cups. All morning long. And, though it is starting to get too hot, I have been known to take a catnap in the car during the pm practice. It is a little embarrassing. But hey, you have to do what you have to do. After about a year and half, my sleep cycle has seemed to adjust. In bed at 10 or earlier, I wake up frequently on my own a little before 5 am now. I am not actually happy about that, as when I can sleep in, I also can't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readinmom Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I'm a decaf only person, but still need that coffee, even without its jolt. I definitely have the catnap down. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Today isn't going as planned, but that's okay. A friend called and her son wants to come back to homeschooling after a year in public school. I've gone through my books to see what she might could buy from me. I'm meeting her for lunch tomorrow. Dh had to start filling out paperwork, so I've been helping him gather information for taxes, insurance, etc. I spoke with Daddy after doing some research about places to visit. He wants to go to the biblical antiquity center in LaGrange. They have replicas of biblical homes, a Roman theater, aquaducts, olive press, etc. They have a biblical artifacts gallery as well. I've had ds doing some review/math placement tests. I can't believe how much he has forgotten over the last month and a half. He is my mathy kid, too. I just ordered CLE math for him to begin doing because I think he may need a spiral program. I want to make sure it's all cemented very, very well before high school math hits. I'm about to go get some laundry started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artichoke Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Tomorrow's list will have to look suspiciously like today's list. I hit a few snags with the phone calls and before I knew it, two hours had passed. Then, I had to deal with an urgent co-op situation that went on for far too long. I did leave home and go to the gym so that nobody could call me there :-) My workout was wonderful! Dinner is on the stove, and I just might join you all in a glass of wine. Hope everyone has a wonderful evening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I'm going about this all wrong. Note to self: post in the morning! Done So Far: Dd to and from music camp Whole foods Cleaned another shelf in pantry. Threw stuff away. Weeded around hydrangea, peeked at pumpkins, checked on transplanted peonies (not dead yet) Researched possible causes of dd's hives Made shopping list for tomorrow To Do: Littles in bed Put away folded laundry Help dds bring laundry downstairs and sort Our van (which we just spent $1200 on to fix) has an engine noise that I've been hoping I could ignore for another week but that may not be possible.

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 It got too hot in the afternoon and I seem to have an infected saliva gland or something - or maybe just swollen glands that hurt. Dd made salad and shrimp scampi. I'm on day 2 of a strict low carb diet so I took the shrimp out and made a shrimp salad for myself. Now - clean the kitchen.

Ds enjoyed swimming because he swam fastest in the races he did tonight. Dh and I watched the rest of GOT season 4. We might go do something tomorrow if we can figure out something fun for all of us.
