Melissa in Australia Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Another really hot day in the kitchen. 33oC outside at least 50oC in the kitchen. Made a week's baking of bread, bottled the bread and butter pickles. etc...... I feel like I am melting. Then spend the whole afternoon doing a major houseclean. It is amazing how dirty the whole house gets during food preserving time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Who knows! The kids are supposed to have an overnight at my parents' house but dh and I have discussed it yet since they were sick yesterday. They are better today and my parents have already been exposed to what we had. I'll talk to my mom this morning and she can decide if she wants them or not. Other than figuring that out I want to clean the upstairs tonight because the state of the house is starting to drive me crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 This morning is church and this afternoon I am working at our Chinese New Year celebration at church. I have to man the booth and hand out Nian Gao cake slices (I made 5 of them yesterday......not well I am afraid!) Very little time at home but I need to get some things in order for sure: Map out homework with boys Help Aspie think and type up his Eagle plan for BSA Clean kitchen from yesterday's baking spree Maybe buy a rug off of CL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie in SWVA Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I think I have posted once or twice here, so you all don't know me, but I frquently follow this thread because it is very encouraging to me. Church services were cancelled due to the weather today, so I am a bit at a loss. I do need to find my kitchen this morning. It is under that mess somewhere. Make bean soup and muffins. Read. Plan basic school schedule for the week. Then what???? Susie in SWVA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteryJen Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Good morning! Our winter storm has extended into today. It is snowing lightly now. We tried to get to mass last night, but the roads were really icy, and traffic was stalled at the hill we needed to climb. So we turned around and went home, passing accidents on the way. Dh is trying to get to mass this morning, he will be leaving soon. So, probably just a lazy day here. I am going to needlepoint and watch Daytona. Have a great day!

Luckymama Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Hey Susie :) We had more snow yesterday and less icy rain overnight than I expected. In two hours I have to drive dd to a Science Olympiad training event at the local-ish observatory. I hope those winding roads have been adequately plowed! Up ahead: --eat the blueberry muffins Dh cooked :D --serve in my capacity as SO coach and take notes during the training event --double-check school plans for the week --fix dinner before dh leaves for a Chinese New Year shindig on campus (I decided not to go this year) --continue working on school planning for next year --finish the latest library book :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustEm Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Kids are having an overnight!! I'm so blessed to have parents who want the kids over all the time and to be the ones to suggest such things so I never feel like I'm taking advantage. So we've got Mass, lunch with my parents and some siblings and their families. After that dh, baby, and I will head to mil's for dinner. We'll be leaving g earlier than usual so I can clean upstairs this evening and do some laundry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Good to see you Susie! I am staying home from church. I woke up with a sore throat again. And I am so very very tired. I really need to rest today so that the antibiotics can do their job. But I also need to pay bills, do laundry and do lesson planning. I need a healthy clone!

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 OK - almost noon and after the family went off to church I went back to bed for awhile. Now I have made my bed and have showered and dressed. Oh and I put away the box of cold remedies. And started the washing machine that ds had already pre-loaded with dirty clothes. Now that I've rested a bit from that big effort I'm going to put on a timer and will do 5 minutes of stuff - probably in the kitchen.

swellmomma Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 My list is huge but really that is just so I have more to cross off and feel accomplished, if I just put clean livingroom it would not encompass all I need to do in there lol Like I said house is a sty, between work (now doing 40-50 hours a week from the 25 I started at in sept), plus school (4 courses this term and they are half done so they keep me busy) and kids 2nd play of the year is on next saturday which means more rehearsals etc so my housework has suffered for the last 2 months and it shows. Time to whip it back into shape. SO kids are now at rehearsal, I have a migraine starting which is not good, so just took motrin and have a cup of coffee with me, livingroom nearly done, laundry has been going since yesterday but I have not folded and put away the clean stuff yet which is why it is not crossed off. report from friday's conference nearly done, starting making the goal cards etc I am starting at work this week. And generally just continuing on with my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swellmomma Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 motrin did its job. GOt a ton done, but not finished yet. Need to cross out the shovelling though as that is done. So glad my kids are quitting the theatre company at the end of the play next weekend because the director has lost her ever loving mind and I am ready to knock her head right off. I won't say anything until the end of the week because tomorrow she is announcing who got what parts (they have all been rehearsing all parts so she can determine best fit), and I do not want my kids penalized because I think she is a complete and utter loon. 5 minute coffee break then back to cleaning a round in each the kitchen and livingroom before starting to make supper.

LifeLovePassion Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Woo hoo! The bathroom finally has all its issues fixed and tweeked. We are ready to hang the new sheetrock next Sunday! So ready for this! Tomorrow will be recouping from the work weekend and school. Measure out living room for couch/seating options. Mark floor and ceiling of bathroom Make measured drawing so I know where to hang the toilet paper holder and towel ring after the sheetrock is hung.

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Two loads of laundry are all done The bills have been paid (finally) Took care of the animals which somehow ds forgot to take care of tonight (and I wasn't going to drag him out of bed to take care of since this is the first time that I can remember in years of pet ownership where he's dropped the ball on that) Going to go to bed. And no, I didn't plan tomorrow's school - there is enough routine there to just wing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
