BlsdMama Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Good morning! I will! I'm feeling rather energetic this morning.... You know, as I'm still pregnant and all. :P ;) What I'd LIKE to do today: Consider giving birth What I WILL do today: Make breakfast - done - smoothies & baked oatmeal Pay bills this afternoon. Paint the hall or possibly another wall in the living room? I really like the Vintage Mauve I used on one wall and I'm thinking of painting one wall at a time until it's too much, lol. Finish painting the dining room - 1/2 of one wall left from running out of paint. Plan which lit books the middle girls are starting on this AM - running to 1/2 Price Books this afternoon. Eye appointments - three of them today for three cute little girls, all of whom desperately want glasses. Plan supper. I'm out of wood pellets so I'm actually going to have to cook. Sigh. Plan Costco trip for tomorrow night so the children don't starve when I actually DO have the baby. Trip to the PO JoAnn's for fabric for a blankie for a dear friend who had a cute little girl.

Susan in TN Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 My 81yo MIL is having hip replacement surgery right now. It has taken years to get her to this point (many delays due to mild sickness and infection) and we are hopeful this will help relieve some of her pain. If you are so inclined to pray...her name is Joan and she is in Albany, NY. My FIL could also use prayer for strength as he cares for her.Math is done, and the littles are organizing their toy tubs - on their own volition! I am almost done with the kitchen. A few things to bring downstairs and one more counter to clear.My older 2 are helping run a summer day camp for the children of Kurdish families while their moms take English classes. Today is the last day and after cleaning up they get to go out to eat at a Kurdish restaurant. Wish I could be there!For Today:Email - lesson schedule - done! Clean microwave - done! Sweep and mop kitchen floor (twice) - done!More orchestra arrangements/repertoire decisionsStart going through boxes in the Dining room (misc. school things from last year)Drink water Drink more waterLunch - egg sandwiches, peachesDinner - ham and veggie casserole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Good Morning, everyone! Haven't done one of these for a while! ** take kids to VBS - this is their third one this summer. They've had a multi-denominational VBS summer - Mennonite, Presbyterian and now Lutheran. ** get my allergy shots ** come home and try to rest. After 2 weeks of Bactrim for a sinus infection, I did a pounding week of directing VBS last week and now I think I have an inner ear infection, which I am trying to kick on my own. ** get ready for Convention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathryn Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 School is all on my agenda today, and I've already finished my actual teaching time. Big boy still has independent work to get done. I've got mastitis again :( This is miserable. I love breastfeeding, but I just want to cry at the thought of a year or more of this again. I didn't have any problems at all with my first son. With my second son, I got clogged ducts a lot, but I made it to two and a half years before I couldn't take it any more. But mastitis is way worse.

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Praying for your MIL, Susan. I've already been into the big city and talked yet another technician through how to get blood from a turnip. After a couple of tries he was successful. Stopped at the grocery store and got some peanut butter since we've been out for days. That's almost an emergency in my house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just got word that the surgery went well and they will have her try to put some weight on her hip tonight. If her recovery is going well, they will do her other hip in 2 weeks.

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Got a shelf cleared out, and cleaned. And tentatively reorganized. There are a couple of things I want to move as soon as I move some other stuff around. Got a drawer cleared out and a whole bunch of stuff thrown out. As soon as I catch my breath again I'll wash the drawer and will reorganize it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Signed dd1 up for the ACT called dr and vet overseeing a few chores saw the swimmers off and the big one: cleaned out the garbage cans. Really gross. I should do it more often. How often do people do it? Next up, clean up downstairs, shower, and library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Inside garbage cans or outside? Inside - only if there's been a liner failure and then immediately. Outside - sometime in the summer. So not that often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Phew! The kids and I did a 1 hour cleaning round robin. 1st 20 minutes: Dd's choice of music - OneRepublic, Maroon 5, etc. 2nd 20 minutes: Ds's choice of music - Pink Floyd, the Boss (aka Springsteen) etc. 3rd 20 minutes: my choice of music - Weird Al Yankovic! Oh, you want to know what we actually did? One big shelf in the kitchen pantry was gone through, tons of expired stuff thrown out, the shelf washed and then restocked. Three kitchen drawers emptied, gone through (some stuff tossed and some put in the Goodwill pile and others sorted to put back), all washed (I found actual mold in a corner of one drawer :ack2: ) and disinfected, and then restocked. Laundry folded and put away, washed and dried. I actually should have stopped after the 2nd 20 minutes but we were on a roll and I had happy kids (or at least resigned kids) helping me so I finished out the hour. Now I'm in mucho pain but hey, we got a lot done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
