And now I'm feeling exhausted after just a doctor's appointment. Oh, third trimester, you are brutal! I guess we are doing lunch out and maybe I'll grab something caffeinated.

I am planning a quiet, lazy day at home. I wasn't able to go to sleep until after 3am. And I am feeling sick today. Not sure if I'm feeling sick because I got 3 hours of sleep, or if I got just 3 hours of sleep because I am sick....

To do:
Laundry
Tidy up
Budget
Read
Knit
Order clear elastic that I cannot find in store
Maybe order some fabric
Make a treat for family night tonight
Post up letter to missionary dd's blog
Nap

Clean bathrooms,

Catch up on laundry.

Post a couple of blog posts

Clean my living room.

Take dd9 to the dentist and maybe the used bookstore if there's time.

Mail letters a post office

dd17 has to work, I wonder how the roads are and whether I will need to drive here there and back?

Vacuum floors.

 

 

The house is actually pretty clean because I've not been anywhere in days, so there's noting to do but clean up.

Human care done

Pet care done

Went to the Y to exercise but I got so exhausted just getting there that I sat in a chair and played Hay Day while dd did her exercise

Took dd to Sport Authority to exchange the too small shoes that she bought just yesterday.

Had lunch.

 

I have to serve dh some food in a half hour.  And I don't know what.  I'm exhausted and I don't know what I can make with what I have.  I might run down to the grocery store and pick up something but I've been doing an awful lot of that.

Wow I really didn't think about how my body would feel after running a few errands! I'm wiped and haven't done any cleaning or laundry. As I take advantage of the baby sleeping I'm going to throw laundry in the washer. Then I'll relax in bed while the kids clean and vacuum their room. I'll do my cleaning after dinner when dh is home and can take all kids into another room and I can knock it out quickly.

I did not get a nap, and I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything on my list, but I did help my dd who locked her keys in her car, taught two violin lessons, and made chicken noodle soup for dinner.  I think we will have dinner, and then I will go to bed by about 7pm.

 

Thanks for your kind words.  I am feeling better tonight, but I have a lingering headache.

Monday needs to be over now.  Now!  

 

The key broke off in the car ignition.  It's one of those electronic things that won't work unless attached to the key itself.  20 minutes later with some pliers and a lot of colorful language, I got the car started.  While I was playing around with that, I noticed that my car had been broken into.  Everything had been cleaned out of the glove box, change drawer.   :cursing:

 

Someone kindly drove ds home from school so he wouldn't miss his driving lesson.  Once I got the car started, I drove straight to the dealer.  Ten minutes later, minus a $100, I drove off for the nearest Starbucks.  I might have dh stop on his way home and make it a double!  

 

Night all...

Ran to the store.  Got dh some chili from the deli soup bar.  (And some chicken noodle soup in case he didn't feel like chili.)  

 

Got chocolate for me.  My Theo's was finally in.  One of the problems of living in a two street town (and not wanting to drive elsewhere) is that if they are out of your favorite chocolate, you have to go without until they get some in again.

 

Got dh off to work.

 

Worked with dd on math.  Survived even though we both were a bit short-tempered.  My problem is that I'm at a point where I know how to do it but am not super confident on explaining how to do it.  Dd's problem is that she doesn't want to listen to any kind of an explanation on how to do it from anyone.

 

Slept.

 

Dropped dd off at the Y.

 

Made myself some dinner despite severe nausea.  (Eating actually helped a bit.)  Took more antibiotic.  

 

Had two squares of my Theo dark chocolate with salted almonds.  Sipped some echinacea tea.
