mom31257 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Praise the Lord! The AC problem was only a part which had gone bad. $164! I was afraid it would be a much bigger bill. He said units last about 15 years, and we'll be in the house 11 years this summer. Hopefully this one will survive until dd is done with college. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hi guys. I am stressed out. Need to call the HMO and see what they say about my old lady troubles. Don't want to be away when my kids come home from school. I should have made the call earlier, but I went back to bed after sending them off to school. Woke up when my chiro appointment was supposed to start, so I cancelled that. (I probably would have cancelled that anyway.) Should I make a doctor appointment for tomorrow or today? I'm thinking tomorrow, so I can get some work done today. Now I hope I don't have any meetings tomorrow that somehow missed being on my calendar. So I guess I will make a list for today: Get kids up & out, including lunches. [done] Take out the garbage. [done] Clean bathrooms, kitchen, some clutter. [done] Cancel chiro appointment. [done] Call HMO. [done] Call 4H. [nope] Work until about 6:30pm. [nope] Get the kids started on their homework, piano, scout stuff.... [they did their homework] Dinner - probably order delivery. [done] Read-aloud during dinner. [nope] Kids' baths. [done] Get kids' clothes and bags ready for Thursday. [done] Kids to bed. [done] Order birthday gift for niece. Work from 10-midnight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 SKL - I hope you can get your doctor's appt. at a good time for you. Me - I keep finding myself talking without thinking today - not because I say wrong things but because I'm not supposed to be talking. This is because it doesn't hurt as much when I do so I don't have that immediate feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Oh crap, they say I need to be seen today. Now I have to decide - emergency room or doctor visit - the doc visit is farther away, but I'm guessing it will go faster, but then again, will they just send me to emergency anyway.... what would they do anyway ... maybe I should ask the Hive about this, even though it's TMI stuff... My kids get home from school a little before 4pm, my appointment is at 2:50. Not liking this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Good afternoon all! I've been out all morning pet sitting, dropping kids off, getting to my 6 week appointment, and hanging out with my friend who watched the kids. Now all I want to do is stay in for the rest of the day but I have to venture out this evening to pet sit more. Still to do - make chicken broth ( in the process) - fold and put away laundry - kids clean their room - pet sit - feed kids dinner before we head out to pet sit - quick clean down stairs - soak beans for tomorrow's dinner - plan the rest of the school week since I have no idea what we're supposed to be doing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Took dd to the Y. Thought about walking on the treadmill but just walking up the stairs left me so exhausted that I sat and played Hay Day instead. I did see my trainer and spoke to him very briefly. Pout. I want to get back to my life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Oh I forgot that I was going to start working out today so I'm adding do workout DVD to the list. The added bonus the kids want to do it with me so they are happily cleaning my room so we all have room to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 It felt amazing to workout! I've got a hard road ahead of me with getting back to my normal 140 but I started that journey today. 3 pregnancies in 3 years messed me up and I'm the heaviest I've ever been. Its weird admitting I have 70 lbs to lose since I don't feel that heavy. I told my kids if they motivate to reach my goal I'll give them 100 dollars. Then my oldest made a motivate mom chart and now there are 6 different rewards for them for 6 different progress markers of mine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 oK - sort of feeling better today. But I'm tentative. I'm still trying not to talk. Got a couple of loads of laundry folded and put away - some with dd's help Ds put another load of laundry in the washer for me. Dh is mowing the lawn. :) Dd has planned a simple supper. We'll quick pop over to the grocery store soon. We all got school done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Car has been gassed up.

JustEm Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 hj, as someone who has seen you in person, you do NOT look like you have 70 lb to lose! Thanks! It's so funny because that's what people say and that's how I feel but the numbers are what they are. I don't actually care about the numbers though. I care about how I feel. I feel best between 140 and 150. When I was 135 I felt awful. When I was 160 I felt OK but still needed more energy. Anywhere above 170 and I start feeling achy joints and low energy. So between 140 and 150 is where I'm aiming to be at consistently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readinmom Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Not much got done this afternoon. Waited 2 1/2 hours to see doctor. I finished Stephen King's Dr. Sleep while I was waiting, if that gives you any idea how long that was. Just got home after driving an hour in traffic. Dh is going to pick up chicken for dinner. Yeah!

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 I am seriously going crazy at not being able to talk (very much). I usually call my sister or a friend when I need motivation to get through chores when I'm tired and achy and I can't do that! Arrrgh! OK - I am going to empty the top of the dishwasher and will then come back here: DONE (earned short rest) empty the bottom of the dishwasher and come back here: DONE (earned a short rest) Load the dishwasher and come back here: DONE and started the dishwasher (earned a short rest) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Well, another day went by without me getting much work done. I did get one mini-crisis out of the way. But I slept a few hours, laid around at the ER and then at home, and now I am still tired and will probably call it a day soon. Of course I cannot tell my clients why I am not turning their stuff around as fast as they expect. All I can do is hope tomorrow is a better day. I did take care of most of my mom things and my house things. So that's something, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 I'm glad that you're back home, SKL. The ER can zap all strength and energy out of you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gentlemommy Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I accomplished something major today. I checked something off of my 'bucket list'. Back in November, for my birthday, Dh surprised me with concert tickets to my all time favorite singer. Seriously, I've loved her since high school. I honestly never thought I'd get to see her live. Not only did he get tickets, he turned the event into a two day get away for just the two of us. Something we haven't ever done. Left the kids with my mom and had a wonderful, relaxing vacation with DH. â¤ï¸ -Leisurely breakfast with just dh-check -Walked around downtown in gorgeous weather, holding hands with the love of my life-check -Slept an entire night without being woken up by a kid-check -Got a massage, facial, and some new 'trendy' clothes to wear to the concert-check -Felt pretty for the first time in...well, forever-check -Danced in the aisles and belted out my favorite songs with wild abandon-CHECK! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 So who is your all time favorite singer? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemommy Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Sarah McLachlan. She has the most incredible voice, and seeing her live and how authentic and fun she was in person just made her so much more beautiful to me. â¤ï¸ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
