Renai Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I just took a nap. Not a long one that makes me feel all groggy when I wake up. Just a nice 20 minute nap. Of course I woke up in a panic at 6:15 this morning. I was sure it was Monday morning and DH was going to be late for work. So I woke him up, too. Poor guy. I didn't sleep well last night. Hope you sleep better tonight. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Ugh. This professor is not answering my emails. The last one I sent was Thursday. I turned in a couple of assignments late, but within the late timeframe to be considered for grading, But I don't know if she's going to grade them. If she doesn't, I'm going to fail this class. So close... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Boy oh boy were we working today. On a day of rest. Sigh. Truly, though, our church small group started back up today and we needed to clean. Really clean. Dh was able to fix the vacuum and boy what a difference a working vacuum makes in the overall cleanliness of the house. I think I had an allergic reaction to something from dinner. My neck and face started feeling this weird pressure (though not my windpipe or esophagus, so that's good). It is better now, but I am still feeling a bit...off. Good to have you back, Jean!

Vacuuming can make such a difference even if I don't get to "everything." Now you can "rest" all week because you have a clean house, lol. I"ll be in and out a lot today.

Susan in TN Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 What did you eat?A hamburger (made by someone else) with a wheat bun, onion, tomato, ketchup, mustard, and mayo, and corn on the cob. I am wondering if it was the corn - thats the only thing that I rarely eat unless there was something weird in the hamburger or bun.

wintermom Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Jean - So glad you had a great week at camp. REALLY glad your breathing held out (luckily the fires didn`t plague you at camp). Hope those forest fires get put out very soon. I`d send you some of our rain, if I could. It was a flurry of activity this weekend getting the master bedroom painted and refloored. It`s 99% done!! Just one last row of laminate and the trim to put in. It looks so nice. The next project looming in our face is the staircase upstairs. We`ve got most of the carpet off and will have to start sanding soon. We want to paint it and put a runner carpet up the middle. It all sounded really easy a month ago, but now that we`re actually doing it.... it`s not easy. ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I am still soooo tired. Of course this morning Dh had to get up extra early for work. I actually overslept and couldn't get his breakfast made in time. I told him to eat his sandwich for breakfast and get something else for lunch. I now have to drop ds off at work and then keep going on into the big city for my bloodwork. There is so much to do here at home: pay bills, do tons of laundry, grocery shop since I've been gone and probably more but those are the biggies. All I really want to do is to sleep and/or do nothing. OK - got that off my chest. I will stop being a complainy pants now.

Slache - Have fun with your hubby! wintermom - We pulled old carpet on stairs and scraped and scraped and scraped and sanded...and never did stain and get the runner we had envisioned. It is hard work, indeed. Susan - Good luck finding the culprit. Could be corn. I'd lean more towards something in the burger, but you never know. My DS is allergic to some very strange things. Jean - You can complain all you want. You are one busy lady. I'll take my FT job and homeschooling an only any day over what some of you ladies post. I am amazed at how much you all accomplish.

Jean in Newcastle Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I was a dry shriveled up turnip this morning. I had a really good phlebotomist (she's worked on me before) but she could find nothing. Finally she did a move that I've never seen done before - she got blood out of me by going from the top of my arm (instead of the inside where they usually look for veins). Phew! It's done! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will take a little recovery though, because SIL's medical routine meant that we fell into a "late-to-bed-late-to-rise" habit.

texasmama Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I'm here to complain. I slept very poorly, I need a college degree in IT for my children to take a Landry Academy class, and my van needs a $1,000 compressor to fix the air conditioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Landry Academy hates me. Also, we had a very hard week last week for many reasons so my boys did NO Spanish homework. It is due today. I am computer illiterate. I hate myself and I also hate Landry Academy. I am fully convinced it would be less painful to quickly learn to be fluent in Spanish and teach them myself rather than "outsourcing" to Landry Academy. Why does Landry Academy hate me?

I think that they are coming in to get the syrup rug and syrup couch. We've never had a single ant in 15 years. I'm currently looking hard for my big girl panties to pull up. 21 muleteam borax (sp*, it is in the laundry supplies) mixed with sugar. 1 box:1 cup of sugar. Mix well sprinkle around outside of house. I put it in a gallon size baggie and cut out a corner. Safe to use around pets and children. It has taken care of all ant species here. You could put some in a plastic lid and put under couch if they are really bad. You are welcome to come up here. Love to have ya. Last week sucked major.....I was miserable, but doing better now. The weather is beautiful; sunny with a breeze, clear blue skies, and 80F. Bbq ribs and fried potatoes for supper tomorrow night. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
