Melissa in Australia Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 up at the crack of dawn , milk cows and process twins. Dh broke a rib yesterday :crying: So I have been sort of hovering to try and intercept lifting bending things for him- I think I need to back off as he is starting to give me the look- But he is in so much pain poor guy. Got possession of our investment house today, and found a possible tennet Tried really hard to get ds11 to complete his morning school work...SIGH! 4 loads of Laundry washed, and hung. One more to go Had phone call from case manager- yet another access visit :cursing: . I guess if they use up their 4 access visits for the year right at the start of the year then we can be in peace for a few months towards the end.... trying to find something positive here. Cooked chicken bites and salad for tea. Still to do Ds11 schoolwork for tomorrow morning. Tidy kitchen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie in Ma Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Melissa I am sorry your dh got hurt! Hope he heals soon. Already stressed about this week, so much going on. Take oldest for bloodwork and hope to God it is back for her doctor visit tomorrow. I can't believe I wasnt' paying attention! Go to the bank When check clears tomorrow, feed and grain store for chicken food, bird seed, and rabbit food. NYC trip tomorrow to oldest's doctor, borrowing a car because we only trust mine around town and we can't all fit in the truck. Leaving at 10am for a 4:15 visit, it's going to be a long day. She is not doing well at all. Fill woodrack today school with youngest We spent all weekend clearing out a ton of stuff, a friend had a dumpster because they are moving but barely filled it and let us use the space. Our attic and every closet and storage space has been purged! running laundry and dishes now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustEm Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I lost my phone on Friday. Last time I saw it was in my house but I suppose it could be at my brother's house. Number 1 thing on my list today is find it. After that anything goes. - find phone - laundry washed, folded, away - computer room clean - kids clean their room - school - lunch at my house with friends - kung fu for ds maybe - dinner out with a friend 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Well, since about the second I submitted my post above, I've felt like crap (physically). Basically I have spent most of the morning in the bathroom. I haven't been able to sit and do more than a few minutes of "work" work since the early conference call. I did get a little housework done, only because sitting or lying still is too uncomfortable. I hope the worst is over and that I bounce back soon. People are expecting output. Ugh. I hope everyone else has a good day. It is so beautiful outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 human care done. Today's laundry crisis was finding a clean shirt. Don't tell anyone, but I'm wearing my sleep shirt over my pants. Note - I had pants! Called and talked to the nurse. Basically it is "wait and see" if this gets better or worse. And I'm supposed to not talk any more. I have teens. I can text them for some of it but dh refuses to text so I have to talk to him. No one but me knows sign language! Dd has emptied the dishwasher. Pet care is done. I'm working on vocab with dd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustEm Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I think I'm calling it... My phone is gone. Oh well, I'll deal with all the hassle of that another day. My friend just left so I'm going to star laundry and relax while the kids are relaxing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 If dh refuses to text, could you text your kids and them call dh? He's in the same room. I'm just a super slow texter and he's impatient! If he had a laptop with him so he could read what I type on a normal keyboard, it would be ok. I'm a very fast typist. But then I do try to use a pad and paper but he doesn't want to stop what he's reading to look, so maybe not. It's ok. He's at work most of the time! And he can't text or even talk on the phone there. I'm just grumpy because what I really want to do is to yell! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 OK, I think I am starting to feel better. I got an important email out. Here's hoping the trend continues. :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 I'm falling apart. I am wearing black socks. But the socks are different. Oh well. No one can see. I did find a non-sleep shirt to wear when dh got up. (He works swing shift and is sleeping where the dressers are so that's why sometimes I'm clothes deprived. That and the whole keeping up with the laundry issue.) I am not talking. My throat still really hurts. And I'm starting to not be able to hear much which means the swelling is going up and closing off my ears too. Time to take more anti-inflammatories. Not sure what to do if they don't work. Call the nurse back? The doctor's (specialist) is gone this week but she did say that his partner could help me if needed. I don't know if I'm being a drama queen or not. Went on errands, Got dh a pork bento box for lunch because I don't think I can handle cooking right now. Came out of the store, looked for my keys. Realized that I had left the car running with the keys in it and doors unlocked in the parking lot. :svengo: I'm not going out again today unless I have to.

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Talked to the nurse again. We have two plans in place or actually 3 - one emergent, one less emergent and one optimal with me getting better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

readinmom Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Jean, :grouphug: , hope you can get some relief this evening. Dd went swimming, got a little sunburn on her face. It's really hot here! (90+) Library trip will have to be tomorrow, because both dh and I are having happy hour out by the bbq. Start laundry this evening so I don't have to worry about it tomorrow. (Jean inspired me) :thumbup1: I think I'll find a movie to watch this evening, go to bed early. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
