Today is "easy."

 

- Don't eat.

- Computer and TV news killing time until the guys get up.

- Don't eat.

- Shower.

- Don't eat.

- Kill time - MAYBE doing something, but not with critters since I already showered.

- Don't eat.

- Drive to surgery center for carpal surgery in the middle of the day.

- Ok, this part I don't have figured out yet, but I think I get to eat if interested!

 

ps  I'm not hungry and don't expect to be since radiation took that feeling away last year, but it sure is HABIT - thus - the continual mental reminders.

Creekland, hope surgery runs smoothly and recovery is quick.
Tammy, it's about the same here weatherwise and right now I want to pull the covers back over my head! I've said buy to coffee until after this baby since my blood pressure has been creeping up the last few days. It's going to be a long 3 weeks!

Sleep is getting harder and harder so most mornings I feel extremely exhausted and unmotivated. The next few weeks are going to be me doing the bare minimum to keep this house running.

- get school done
- laundry washed, folded, and away
direct kids in cleaning the mess they've created in computer room

- straighten up downstairs
- pay bills
-finish pulling out baby clothes

Creekland, good luck on your surgery!

 

Luckymama I hope your headache gets better.

 

Not much on my plate today.

 

I've already done all my morning chores

 

need to write out this weeks lesson plans (quickly)

 

Taking youngest to ENT to check progress on her broken nose, it happened years ago but the break was on the growth plate and they can't fix it til she is done growing.  Poor thing can only breathe out of one side of her nose.  She is hoping surgery can be sooner rather than later.

 

It's in the 40's today, a break in the cold, it's not going to last, but it is nice.

 

Stalking the postman, years ago, we bought oldest an Astak EZ Reader Pocket Pro, it was really expensive and it was one of the finest e-readers, in my opinion, ever made.  It broke a few years back, they don't make it anymore and I've been looking to replace it but afficianados kept the prices up around $300 so there was no way.  I found one last week on Ebay for $50 and it is supposed to be here today!!!!!!  Hope it lifts her spirits.

 

and....figure out supper.  again. 

 

Have a great day everyone!

Well my nephew never showed up for school today so with just my kids here I'm not doing anything formal.  We read a chapter in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe and have played some board games to help with math skills.  I'll most likely have my oldest read out loud to me later but other than that I'm calling it a day.

 

They are relaxing with a show or 2 so I can take a nap before preparing lunch since I slept terribly last night.

Good morning! Creekland, I hope your surgery goes well. I am back from the meet. It went well, very tiring driving and ds3's bus didn't get in until 10:40 pm last night. Everyone is going to work anyway and I have Christmas decorations to put away (grumble). They were supposed to be done when I was gone. So I am doing that, probably dusting as well. And then a nap.

 

To do:

go through mail

school administration

oversee dd1, dd2, and ds2

put away decorations

motivated moms stuff

PM practice/aikido

 

Have a great day, everyone!

Creekland, a reminder!  Don't eat!  

 

Praying for you and the surgery today :grouphug:

 

Done:

coffee

breakfast

 

To do:

laundry

declutter closet

 

take dd to lunch, have one of those "life" discussions, as in "...do you want to go through this lazy phase the next seven years?"  This WAS my overachiever.  Is this puberty-related?   :scared:   

 

call doctor for test results, if any available

take ds for swim team tryout/practice

take tour of gym

watch football

Jean and hjjfkj, sorry you both aren't feeling well! Feel better soon!

 

 

I just talked to my sister, and she was getting dizzy while driving. She pulled off and her in-laws were actually very close by are driving her home. I told her I'll come back to TN if she needs me, so I'm doing some more laundry and getting together a plan in case I go.  I might leave the kids here to manage the house and school without me. I'd be more focused on my nephew and sister.

Surgery is done.  I can eat now.  ;)

 

The Dr. said there was a significant pinch, so if true (and not the autoplay line he tells everyone) then hopefully this will be the beginning of the end of nerve issues.  I'm hopeful!

 

And I have a Dr's excuse to be lazy today and tomorrow.  It could be a worthy time to more or less start following instructions.  :D  After that life returns as normal - if normal is truly out there that is.

Hope you rallied or at least gave in to the read in jammies all day. 

 

Ha!  After my little fit here I did rally and get to work.  My kid is studying, my labor-saving machines have all been running, and I'm back for a break in an immaculate kitchen :-)  At this point I just need to tidy the LR, rotate laundry, and do math.  After that I'm free until I teach a 6 p.m. class.  Luckily the students come to me and I don't have to leave the house for that.  Dinner is a school fundraiser and DH will pick up Shophouse (the Chipotle company has an Asian flavors version of rice-with-stuff.) later and the Fine Arts Boosters will get 50% of the proceeds.  I'm charitable like that.  At some point I will begrudgingly knit a stripe of grayish-white onto my Sky Scarf that has been a lovely blue for a few days.

Nap refreshed me enough to get things done.  I roasted a chicken while I napped so the main part of dinner is done now I just need some veggies to finish it off.  Laundry is mostly folded and put away only 2 more loads to go on that front.  Computer room is cleaned and my desk is nicely organized!  I even got some reading in which I was really wanting time to do.

I got it done....the basement is finished (or as finished as possible today) . All 5 billion boxes put away and it's clean down there...like spotless. :)   Dinner is simmering, 1 little load of laundry got done.   I got lots of hugs and snuggles from SG today when she came to check on me.    

 

Dh is rewarding me with a large glass of riesling and I'm going to test out our huge tub tonight by candle light.  

 

Hope everyone had a great day!

All laundry is away. All infant clothes, blankets, and sheets have been pulled out and will be washed and put away tomorrow. The downstairs got pretty straightened up but still needs a good dusting and sweeping which will happen tomorrow. Now I'm going to read till I fall asleep.
