Melissa in Australia Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 up at dawn. process twins and go for a pram walk. milk cow 2 loads of laundry washed hung out dried and partially folded one of those days where I am running around tidying in a aimless way that doesn't seem to accomplish much. Vacuum whole house double batch of Worcestershire sauce made and bottled Still toilet training twins - boy they are slow to catch on. I am thinking it is because they were left in nappies for too many years. in desperation I have taught them stand up weeing in the grass. Mulched some more of my flower garden and planted a flat of Cosmos seedlings. pinched some water form the water tank to water the seedlings in and fill the frog pond. It is starting to get very dry. made leftover roast in gravy with mashed potatoes and vegetables for tea. had rot teeth for desert ( raspberry cheesecake - way too sweet hence the mane DH gave it) went for a 4 km walk This evening I will: continue to make lesson plans for the tern ( part time teaching Primary School starting on Friday), hang last load of laundry ( nappies and training pants) tidy the kitchen and sneak in a few games of candy crush - I think I am addicted to that game.

Lizzie in Ma Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Good morning everyone! Battening down the hatches here for the incoming blizzard! Candles and lanterns out, everything is charged or charging. Coolers standing by in case we lose power to put food outside in the all natural freezer. ;) Off to get bloodowork, stop by CVS and meet a kitten we are likely bringing home. Need to let the woodstove go out so dh can clean the bottom part of the pipe, it's starting to build up in there. Septic/plumbing emergency stable for now, thank God Stay safe fellow New Englanders!

JustEm Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Yawn! It started snowing not too long ago and is supposed to snow for the rest of the day and part of tomorrow too. But there are 10 different forecasts that say 7 different things so who knows how much we'll actually suppose to get. I wouldn't mind being snowed in tomorrow. If the public schools get out dh doesn't have to work so that is always nice. - get school done - clean out the carseat my youngest will be using from now on - deep clean kitchen - quick clean downstairs - have dh take all the various containers holding trash to the dumpster - kung fu for ds if snow isn't too bad - put books on hold at library - call hospital and give them new insurance information - read for 1 hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Good morning! I picked dd1 up from practice this morning and I am still waiting for my paper :toetap05: I have to repair the house from being gone this weekend. It never makes sense to me, that if we are super busy, the house gets worse. Even when we are not home. To do: school for all motivated moms extra picking up extra laundry go through mail pay a few bills school administration sports administration (mostly done-dd1 has some college things to do) dd1 driver's ed this afternoon PM practice/aikido (errands during practice) Have a great day, everyone!

wendy not in HI Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Melissa in Australia - I don't know how you get so much done! You are amazing! I wish we were in the path of a big snow storm! I love snow! But we are just getting a little slushy rain. (we are no longer in HI - we are near DC now) We may get a couple inches tonight... and it's probably a good thing we don't live a little more north, as we don't have a wood stove here and we would be very cold if the power went out! Today: pray studies violin furnace guy to check out our system Restore truck to pick up closet doors - checked calendar - whoops - that's tomorrow garbage out post up Hannah's blog Budget grocery list go grocery shopping send valentine package to missionary dd post up missionary dd's letter to her blog - they had a little snow in Denmark last week! tidy up sweep mop vacuum laundry work on dd16's terrible messy room and help her dig out her shoe disaster order book for ds one pot baked ziti for dinner healthy habits run (or exercise - I am planning to do the 7 min workout after the furnace guy leaves) water x x x x x x no sugar day 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 AP and school nurse are sending dh home to rest and relax! He had a strange headache and went to the nurse. His bp was 122/97 and then 144/91. She said if it had been 100 on bottom, she would have sent him to the hospital. Are they being overly cautious? Having his BP taken stresses him a little because of the tightening of the cuff. He has been very stressed at work because they keep piling on paperwork and having time to do it and and have time to actually teach anything. It seems the special education director for the county creates her own paperwork to be done in addition to the state and federal stuff.

MysteryJen Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Amy, I have high blood pressure and your Dh should probably go see the dr. Your blood pressure isn't constant all day long, so if you do get a high reading, plus a headache, you should check it out. 144/91 is technically borderline, but a check up would be a good idea. Also a home monitor is not very expensive and can mitigate some "white coat" syndrome or identify when the bp is spiking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I got a monitor & it's down to 138/84. He took ibuprofen for his headache. He is due a well-checkup, so he's going to make an appointment as well as try to exercise and eat better. He isn't overweight at all, but he is stressed at work.

TammyinTN Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Busy day here...everything on my list accomplished. Amy, hope you guys figure out your dh blood pressure problems. Stress is an evil thing and hopefully he can get it under control. Lizzie and everyone under bad weather conditions...stay safe and hope your power doesn't go out and you're all toasty warm in your homes. Have a great evening!

mom31257 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I took it after he got a nap this afternoon, and it was down to 125/79. I did treat the headache with ibuprofen, so maybe some of it was the pain. We are going to take it daily and see if there are any concerning patterns as well as lay off the caffeine and try to boost potassium/lower salt. I think I've got some magnesium tablets he could take, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
