SKL Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Looks like the kids will have school today - I hope! Love them, but they are going to forget everything they learned if these "weather days" continue. [ETA, they have school.] So here's the plan for today. Get back on track with work - start before the kids get up if possible (yeah, it happens maybe 5% of the time). [Well, I thought about work before 7:30, does that count?] [As of 8:25 I sent 2 emails and prepared 2 invoices. Could be worse.] Get the girls up and out, including review of stuff they are about to be tested on today, breakfast, lunches. [done] Take out the garbage. [done] Clean bathrooms, kitchen, some clutter. [done] Yoga stretches. [done] Chiropractor appointment. [done] Clean out car. [done] Work until 4:45. On work breaks:A little exercise. [done] A little fun reading. [done] See if I can fit in the laundry or other personal tasks. [did some laundry] Start kids on homework. [done] Kids to swim team. Take computer and work while waiting. [done] Dinner. [done] Kids' homework, test study, piano, AHG badge work. [Kids had a lot of homework & test study so that was all we got to.] Read-aloud. [done] Kids to bed. [done] Work from 10-12. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustEm Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Morning all!! Right not I'm in survival mode. My body is not ready to do much yet but I have 3 wild kids who are insanely hyper. It's only day 3 without dh and I'm already quite overwhelmed. I'll be happy with the day if I get dinner done and don't snap at the kids 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Well I'm off to talk another phlebotomist through how to get blood out of a turnip. Last time they had to stick my whole arm in a wastebasket of hot water. It was actually quite relaxing! We'll see how it is today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MomtoCandJ Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Why is that when a man sees a woman with her hood up on a vehicle, he automatically assumes she have no idea what she's doing???? I think I can manage to add brake fluid, dry gas and antifreeze by myself thank you. I've been doing it on this specific car for 2 months shy of 10 years! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 They got blood. It's a bit disconcerting when you walk into a lab and they take one look at you and say "I remember you. I'll get the hot packs!" But nice too because it means that I don't have to talk them through getting the hot packs! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Calmed down a hysterical neighbor and agreed to drive her to the airport at O dark thirty and take care of her dog for a week. (This is because the other neighbor she's been relying on to do everything for her has finally had enough.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 After dh went off to work I did errands. 1. I managed to deposit money into the ILs account even though the fluffly-headed teller tried to tell me that the check went into the Payer's account. "No, the money is coming from them, not going to them!" 2. Got new BOOKshelves at Nordies. Very depressing and that's all I want to say about that.

readinmom Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Banking and mailings done. Dd and I went out on our delayed breakfast from yesterday. Set some goals, which will probably carry through the summer. Went to library, helped her find books on Middle Ages, King Arthur, etc. Listened to her get grilled by kind lady at the library bookstore as to why she wasn't in school. For the record, this has never, ever happened to us. Proceeded to listen to dd give rapid fire answers to vocabulary definitions, other queries on her abilities. Had to laugh when lady asked if she had other siblings at home. Dd said she should just ask if she had any brothers or sisters. :closedeyes: The bonus was dd spotted a flyer for musical auditions in May. She has missed her musical theater class. I'm going to read, go to bed early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Readinmom, you are kinder than I am towards the library bookstore lady. I wouldn't mind the question and a reply from dd that she homeschooled but the quizzing would get me mad. And if she was a library employee or official volunteer I would complain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readinmom Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Jean, I figure that I more than likely won't see her anytime soon. I think if I was on my game, I might have quizzed her on some books. She does, of course, work at the library. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
