Low expectations for today:

 

Transportation for science camp  -- Done!

New shoes for DC -- probably will have to wait until tomorrow as I still need groceries... -- Not going to happen anytime soon.

Meet up with BFF -- Done!

Try best to eat healthy (will be eating one meal out and no groceries at home because I didn't do it yesterday) -- Nope, pizza for dinner

Grocery/bulk grocery shopping -- nope

New shirts/shorts for DC (turned off of ebay after receiving a huge box of smoke infused clothing; will try to get larger sizes for future at garage sales) -- probably will have to wait until tomorrow as I still need groceries... -- not going to happen anytime soon.

Perhaps cut own hair -- Did research, awaiting order in mail to cut by self

 

Have a great day!

 

ETA -- forgot to add: HWT, reading, and sight words study. -- Did HWT, no others

 

Developed a migraine in the afternoon after coming home from science camp.  Rest of the day was and is a wash.  Will probably be on survival mode for the next 3 days.  On the plus side, figured out why one DC has been so fussy.  It's from teething.

Mid-term exam

Early to school to research

Hopefully, two different dates with friends

Homework

 

I'm trying not to be too nervous about the match exam.  I have a 95% in the class at this point so even if I bomb a little today, my grade will still be good. 

 

Enjoy your day, all!

My sister and her kids are coming to visit from Alabama on Thursday so I just finished getting their room ready at my parents' house and vacuuming downstairs. The total of 30 minutes that took has warn me out entirely! So my big plans of getting my house in some sort of order today is likely not happening. I think instead I'll just let dh know that on Saturday or even Friday night we need to tackle the house together. This will involve a huge trip to Goodwill and lots of throwing stuff out. I'm trying to minimize the clutter because everything is starting to feel really cramped! But the things that need to get done are..

 

-meal plan

-grocery list

-grocery store

-pay bills

-make packing list for day trip to beach on Thursday

-kung for for dd and ds

-pet sit early evening

We got in last night from a mini vacation.  I drove the whole time and I was/still am wiped out!

I'm so glad I cleaned the house before we left.  We put everything away when we got home last night so there is nothing that has to be done today YAY!!

I plan on holding this chair to the floor and maybe watching some tv.

I'm in! We've been traveling a ton this summer, and my life feels like a whirlwind! Yesterday we got home from FL, so it was an all day laundry party. I think it totaled 7 loads. In between switching loads, I went through three black trash bags of hand me down clothes from friends in FL. I went through each dresser drawer and closet for all three dd's. Made donate/save bags and bins.

Finished washing and putting away all RV bedding and towels.

Today-

Mop downstairs-DONE

Vacuum upstairs and stairs themselves-DONE

Vacuum and dust school room (kid chores)-DONE

Gymnastics practice-DONE

Library story hour with dd3-DONE (but oh my word. I lean very gentle and understanding of kids being kids...however, this was over the top. Honestly I don't think we will be back. Have to find another activity for dd3 while big girls do gymnastics.)

Clean toilets

Dinner

Good Evening....

 

I'm late to the party.  :D   Today...we skipped school and went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast.  Then onto Hobby Lobby and Ollie's.  I stocked up on goodies for the grand-babies visit and redecorated several areas of the house.    Dinner is Chick-fil-a and I'm having a lovely glass of merlot.  Life is good.  Back to reality tomorrow.

Keeping it real here---I worked on ancient history for a few hours, exercised (elliptical--pouring again), ate chocolate w dd while she wrestled with some math problems (AoPS online class started last week), enjoyed twitter links, added books to my goodreads 'to read' list, watched a Disney World video podcast, threw more chocolate at dd when she complained, looked at prices for her Arabic 1 books (not bad!), texted dh ;) and am enjoying a beer while dinner cooks.

 

Dude, summer.

 

:D

Met Heels at IKEA - had a nice time having lunch and then browsing with her.

Took ds to allergy shots just down the road.

Home very tired.

 

Dh thought he'd be off of work but he's not home and he's not answering his phone so I'm pretty sure that means he had to work after all.  We'll see if he shows up for dinner.

I forgot to post this morning as baby decided to poop four times as I tried to put her back down after her early morning wake up. Then I gave up and got up for the day. Schooled boys, went to park day, fed them, washed them, washed diapers, washed clothes, made dinner, and now stuck on the couch with a fussy baby who finally nodded off. DH was informed that they're on mandatory overtime until further notice. He just walked in at 8:30.
