Melissa in Australia Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 twins are getting up earlier and earlier. 5 am this morning. both had to be bathed straight off as they were soaked. milk cows 2 loads of laundry washed and hung - including pulling inspection plate off machine and getting DH to untangle the hair tie that was somehow wound round the water pump kitchen cleaned- DH helped 'cause I had a job interview :scared: spent ages looking through wardrobe for my most professional clothes. Ended up choosing a almost to my ankles pleated navy blue woolen skirt. and a floral long sleeve top. Boy was I hot it was 30 degrees and really too hot for a woolen skirt, but I have to wear flat black lace up shoes because of my feet orthotics. and I didn't think hey would look so good with a summery dress. Drove to the interview and was so early that I went for a brisk walk around the block - and got even hotter went into the interview and the very first thing the panel did was comment on how well dressed I was ( good thing I wore the hot skirt after all) :thumbup1: completed interview. did a little bit of shopping and came home afternoon schoolwork with the kids while twins were asleep Cooked spaghetti bolognaise for tea had a phone call I GOT THE JOB :party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Congratulations, Melissa! Well, I have another prayer request. We are losing our cleaning job, so I need to find some tutoring students or find something else. We are not a "cleaning service" and do this for someone we know. They had 2 people in the office that were our back-up if we couldn't do it or were out of town. They've lost both those employees over the last month. They want to start using a cleaning service so they'll have it covered regardless. I understand why, but the office manager let me know through a text. I was really annoyed with that. The months vary, but we make as much as $900 a month with this job. I would never let someone know something like this that way. Today: school lunch pay bills make a list of what's left to do for Christmas tidy the house dinner go to monthly mom support meeting with homeschool group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To Do: School Reserve one of the Once a Month Cooking books from the library Laundry (Ooooodles) Sand bookshelves and add another coat of poly Order glasses for DH's family Christmas that is here on Saturday. Clean (truly clean) the kitchen Run and get dogfood and drop by bank. Pick up a gift for exchange for tonight at Boy Scouts and some kind of snack to share. Make grocery list for having Christmas. Done:Turned on the heat in the garage. Had two cups of coffee ;)Got DH a new coat on Lightning Deals on Amazon this morning. Fed baby. Ate breakfast. Getting there. I think today is going to be a very long day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleached my counters (they are a creamy color and cheap mobile home counters so anything stains them and bleach is the only thing to get rid of them). Finished two of 3 Christmas gifts, the two that are done need to be mailed out tomorrow :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizzie in Ma Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 "worry about various things I can't control" Reflections, bless your heart, try not to worry too much Melissa in Australia You astound me, all you do in any given day puts my efforts to shame. Congratulations on the job!!! Amy, ugh, I am sorry about the job, hope you get something else soon and really lousy to get it in a text! Everybody else, hope you have a good day today! Woodstove was completely out this morning, so starting it cold essentially resulted in a houseful of smoke, opened every window and door to get it all out. I hate it when that happens. ;) Swept kitchen floor Made dh's lunch fed all the feathered, finned and furred Need to do school with youngest make something for supper with leftover chicken wrap a few presents finish a knitting project that is a gift fill the pill boxes for the week vacuum the living room tidy up in general Do a load of laundry and put currently clean laundry away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustEm Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Ok so I got to cross a few things off my list and everything else is basically halfway done. For some reason I couldn't be at a project for too long so while cleaning the kitchen I got sick of it and moved to the entryway. Then I got sick of that and went upstairs to clean my room. Slowly but surely everything is getting cleaned. Kids are watching a show to relax a bit so I'm taking a break too. After their 2 shows we'll work together to get my room cleaned, since a lot of the mess is toys that migrated from their room. Then we'll get dinner served and do a fun Advent/Christmas art project we've been working on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 reporting in because even though I've been working non-stop, it doesn't look like it. So perhaps by putting down all that I have done, it will make me feel a bit better. * Human care done * Pet care done * Exercise done * Went through all the mail and separated out dh's huge stack from my small stack of stuff. * Gave ds all his college mail. * Helped dd with vocab. * Yelled, nagged, encouraged ds to actually get one assignment done that. . . he's been supposedly working on for over a week! Aaargh! He thinks I'm such a slave driver. I'm seriously going like :banghead: He's 17. He's an Aspie. There is only so much that I can do. * Fielded yet another phone call about the ILs. Gave them dh's cell phone number and hope that he will actually address this situation (that is getting worse and worse) instead of deciding that they will simply have to live with the results of their bad choices. Yes, dh is doing :banghead: with his parents and I sympathize but worry because there is dementia involved. * Shredded a bunch of stuff. I should market shredding as therapy! I wonder how much people would pay me to shred my stuff? * Ate lunch and nagged my kids into making healthy choices for theirs. * Helped dd to put up Christmas cards.* * "Sent" my sister a rabbit for Christmas (a World Vision thing).

LifeLovePassion Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Managed to get in my elliptical workout and shower in between pukings. So the day has been a success. Cleaned the counter off. Dd2 and I have been working on making our Christmas tree (in case you didn't see in the tree thread, we have our old cast iron bathtub in the living room due to it being heavy and winter, it will probably be there until spring, so no tree this year. The bathtub did get decorated by the girls with snowflakes. I should let them draw on it with sharpies) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Dh and the kids went for a long bike ride. I wish I was to the point with my house and my health where I could go to, but not now. Instead, I've filed and shredded and filed and shredded. And I'm not done yet. But I stopped to sit down for a few minutes and to then start the dinner prep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 My kitchen is so clean!!! It really need the attention it got today. Entryway is half done, which I am fine with since the kitchen needed the attention more. Rest of entryway will be for tomorrow. Laundry is getting put away as I type by someone else! So all I have left to do is watch some shows with dh while we finish wrapping presents! Oh and everyone loved the soup I made tonight. Best part is, I've made it so many times before but this time I just used my immersion blender so the kids didn't know what was actually in it.

So! I got there to pick them up and imagine neighbor's surprise when they were all prepared to bring ds home. I got everything done but the lightbulbs. The thing is, we do not have one single lamp in our house. I was planning on dusting the bulbs in the ceiling fans and light fixtures, but I am exhausted... so phooey on the light bulbs :p Dd has the week off for her birthday. Older ds got his classwork done, science, history and math. Youngest got math, spelling, reading and writing done. At least we didn't miss too much today.
