Guest Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Wake up survive go back to bed Anything else is gravy, but I'd like to read to my kid for an hour in the morning, have him read at least a sentence to me, dishes, laundry, don't have to try and fail to get out of the house before the bank closes again because it's Saturday so the bank is already closed, roughly block out Konos units on a KOrganizer (Yea, I know it's ancient but the kid's watching videos on the internet capable PC while I'm using the 400 Mhz PII running Kubuntu 5.04 slow as molasses) or paper calendar, write checks for bills to mail on Monday, and read to my kid for another hour before we go to bed.

Kathryn Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Take kids to karate Take kids bowling Wash diapers Wash DH's laundry Make grocery list No nap needed! I thought I'd have a rough night. Baby was awake when I put her in her crib and turned out the light at midnight. I was sure she'd start screaming but I was so tired I had to try. She didn't make a peep. It's now almost 9am and I need to wake her so we can get started on our day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Please pray for the rain to stop and no storms to come in! Our city has an outdoor pool. This is ds' last meet for the summer and his best events, so I'd love for him to have a fun day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckymama Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Melissa, either you have one heck of a huge verandah (6 loads of laundry?!) or the clothes dry very quickly or your washing machine has a much smaller capacity than US versions. I am imaging a verandah around all sides of your house---that sounds lovely :) No tackling for me today! --drink coffee --get ready --drive 4 hours to my high school town --exclaim over how things have changed yet stayed the same (it's in a fracking region) --reunion shindig starting at 6 I don't know if I want to drive past our old house. I would be so sad if it was in disrepair, you know? The house was an early Victorian brick farmhouse, very large for the area. My parents moved away in 1990, so who know how many owners there have been since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Good Morning, Ladies! I am done with VBS. (Loud cheers would be erupting except that I am still exhausted). We had an unbelievable week, but I am so so so glad it is over. Today may plans are.... ** grocery shopping ** catch up on the laundry that's been piling up all week And that's all. And rest. And maybe peep at the garden that I've been neglecting all week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Relaxed and watched 2 episodes of Lost with dh dinner is done and dh is washing dishes one load of laundry is in the dryer and another is in the washer We've decided to rent a shampooer and clean the traffic areas Monday. My in-laws are coming Thursday evening, and dh starts work in just over a week, so I'd like to get some things done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Waking up: done! Read to kid, although you would probably be appalled by his choice of reading matter. Kid read two sentences to me, but they were difficult sentences with new phonics rules from books that were all ds1 needed to become as fluent as ds1 ever became, so I would have framed that as "short reading lesson" if we were doing school. Didn't kill kid. Didn't kill self. Didn't commit self to insane asylum or give kid up for adoption. Didn't blow away random strangers with a machine gun and bury their bodies in back yard. Dishes done. It's a good day so far, but I'm still glad I set the bar so low. ;) ds is too young for me to take an afternoon nap since I don't have any other people in the house to keep half an eye on him, but he's watching The Incredible Hulk with Bill Bixby instead of Dora or Caillou, so that's got to count for something anyway.

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 Have a pot roast in the crockpot. Dh should be able to eat some at midnight when he comes in from work. And we'll still have tons left over for tomorrow and the next day and the next day. . . . Ds has sorted laundry and has a load going. Dd and I did a bit more pantry sorting.

I am imaging a verandah around all sides of your house---that sounds lovely :) I have a veranda around 3 sides of the house. Really keeps the house cool in summer. :hurray: Plus washing machines in Australia are smaller than the US versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Well, got laundry done and bills dealt with. And DH completed his task of buying a new car. Woohoo! His 1994 Honda Accord has 200K miles on it and was just nickel and diming us to death. So, he finallllllllly made the decision to get a new car. He was going to get a new Honda Civic, but at the last minute changed his mind and got a new Corolla. I'm glad. I like the interior of the Corolla much better. It's a nice car and now he can drive it without being paranoid of every sound. We were waiting in a line of cars to get into the National Park a couple weeks ago and the car next to us was making a funny sound, but he was so worried that it was him.that's no way to live. So, yayyy! We have a shiny new car in the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 KrissiK, congrats on the Corolla! My mom has one of those that is positively ancient, so hopefully yours will be every bit as much of a low maintenance keeper. I'm going to call the laundry good even though ds1 has to sleep on a sheet that ds2's father thinks is nasty since I didn't get his regular one into the dryer in time to get it on his bed before he fell asleep. ds2's father isn't here and ds1 lived on his own for many years and his apartment looked like any other college aged kid's apartment and he was just as reluctant to let me visit the house he shared with his roommates as any other college aged kid would be, so I'm sure he's slept on nasty sheets or no sheets before.
