Wheres Toto Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) Dh isn't helping. I just said I needed to get up and do some work and he told me "Why? Don't you deserve a couple days of rest?". Sure, but I have a teacher orientation Monday and need to get at least some things ready for that. I will be going to clean, along with dd, tomorrow but I should probably at least do some paperwork today. ETA: Looks like a booya. Let's see if this one stays.

Wheres Toto Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 So, for the sake of accountability (once I make it public, I have to do it): -update my class rosters with newest registrations -send confirmations to newest registrations -update class list with some changes we are making to a couple classes -put together "employee handbook" (really just a one or two page thing) for employee orientation Monday -Figure out how to print checks and send my rent (I want to print my payroll checks since I'll have more employees) -place an amazon order for a few classroom necessities -print labels for all the drawers/cabinets with our supplies 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73349 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 👋 Hi. Happy Saturday. I did some of the things. More later today and tomorrow. Distanced coffee on my screened porch with friends tomorrow. Eighth grade starts Monday. What I really need is an appointment for somebody to come and inspect my housework and give me Looks about once a week if I haven't put the effort in. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeannie's giving out earworms!! 4 hours ago, Renai said: @Susan in TN how are you and the kids doing? We are OK overall. ❤️ I'm having occasional bouts of anxiety but they are generally short lived. Sometimes I have this weird feeling that I'm moving in slow motion. But I'm getting a bit of sleep and a nap sometimes. And I'm able to eat, which is good. The kids are doing OK and dealing with things in various ways. I am thinking "things" might start coming out at random times in the coming months - we have talked about the unexpected ways that trauma and grief sometimes present themselves. Or not. Ds26 has been showing extra care to The Youngers, which has been really sweet. I expect that my parents may stay another week or two. They have been so helpful and a great support, but I know this has been hard on them and they probably need to get back to some normal before too long. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Waiting for the live stream wedding to start. The live part of the wedding is a very ritzy place apparently according to my husband (who isn't there - he just knows Canada better than I do). Being the poor relatives, we are just very happy that we didn't have to get dressed up. (Just for the record we are wearing pantz! Target pajama pantz in my case, but still pantz.) 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I realized the extension cord I picked up the other day in the storage room, I left in the storage room. 🤦🏾♀️ I turned on praise music and got a goidnstart on the garage by vacuuming. There was a lot of sawdust. I did figure that I can cover the cement with the leftover carpeting from when they recarpeted the other day. Then Gymnast reminded me we were supposed to write stories together yesterday but didn't get to it. So, that's what we're doing now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 I did not finish the garage office. I did, however, hook up my printer that I found in storage the other day (YAY!). I also finished most of the "story" I was writing. Gymnast had an exciting dragon adventure in pictures. I have a mostly counting book written in English, Spanish, Chinese, and German. Because I must be confused, or something. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) I want to go back to the storage rooms today after online church, find the extension cord, and try to get my desk. Gymnast wants/needs her desk as well, but I don't know how I'm going to get it. There are a lot of things we want to take to the dump, but dh isn't available to assist until next weekend. He's been working every weekend. We need to rent a Uhaul to get some of the large items. Edited August 29, 2021 by Renai 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I got my classrooms mostly set up as they will be for classes. I'll be swapping out a couple tables but they work as placeholders. My lobby is full of stuff I pulled out of the classrooms so dd and I are going to work on cleaning that up tomorrow. I have to go in early because the AC on dh's car STILL isn't working. Evidently it has a really hard to find leak. Dh is heading to his moms on Wednesday this week to take her to an appointment on Thursday. Ds wants to get a job so one day this week we are going to our local mall (where oldest dd works) and he's going to check in with some places and see if they hire 16 year olds and ask how to apply if they do. He's not the most social person but can probably pretend if running a register or doing stock work. Our local grocery store hires at 16, so that might be the place for him to start. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
