Jean in Newcastle Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I walked the dog and now my chest is tight from the bad air. Juliet was very good with a toddler squealing “doggie”. Juliet liked licking the little girl’s sticky fingers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Baby slept throughout his entire doctor's visit including getting his iron checked. I took him out of the car seat, into the office, weighed and measured, talked to doctor, blood taken, band aid on, talked to doctor more, back in car seat, band aid off, and home- all asleep! He's not sick. Yet....try to ever carefully, carefully quietly, gently put him in his bed? Nope. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kids had fun singing at the baseball game last night. Ds13 twisted his foot and is limping a bit. Lots to get done today. Ds13 is responsible for cooking on his BS rafting trip this weekend and we have planning and stuff to do for that. He is also cooking meals for us today for another requirement. I have some work to do at the church, so I'll take him along to help with that and then we'll go grocery shopping. He has to pack for the trip, too. Coffee! ????? Good Morning Booyah! ?????

Hope DS13 is feeling better. Our BS troop is struggling a bit. It’s a fledgling troop, not a lot of experience (my DS just came in as a BS, didn’t climb up through the ranks), lost another member and his extremely active parents to another troop. They keep pressuring my DH to become a leader, and although he is more than willing to help out, he can’t commit full bore. It’s a huge commitment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 My fancy but wonderful in-laws are coming tomorrow for the weekend. I've been trying to get things organized (for myself) and ready for them for almost 2 weeks, one room at a time. I only have the kitchen left to truly deep clean, organize, and spiffy up, and then the rest of the house that's already been done to just vacuum again and touch up. But my motivation has wandered off. I need it back- one more room! I should stay off the computer until it's done, but it's hard. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAHA I just told her - God let them become extinct, so that probably means He just wanted them in Heaven with him. Besides, if you had the only pegacorn on the earth, everyone would want to come and study it. They'd be in our way and we wouldn't have any fun. She replies, "I'd just tell them to get their own!

Ellie Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 FRIDAY! I'm starting to be a little worried about upcoming home-repair time. So, the insurance company wants me to have the hardwood floors replaced, even though I can hardly see any damage from the leaky windows. Also, we need foundation repair. Also we need complete wall repair on [counts in head] four walls, probably because of the foundation issues. Plus the two window walls. So, the foundation would need to be repaired first; then the walls; then the windows; then the flooring...1500sq. ft of flooring, the whole downstairs. All furniture moved out, then moved back in. o_0 Foundation repair check on Monday. There's no insurance for this; it will come out of our pocket. I'm kinda skeered. Home ownership. It's a blessing...and a curse... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
