hjffkj Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Morning all! It was nice to wake up after 7am and not because my kids were trying to see how loud they could be in order to get us up. My hands hurt from scrubbing the kitchen yesterday so think I'll take a break from that aspect of cleaning today and stick to organizing. - call mom and see when I'm picking kids up - organize pot, pans, etc - organize coat closet - wash cloth diapers - ds kung fu - continue going through kids clothes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I am sitting here [im]patiently waiting for the go-ahead to finalize something online, so I can sneak a nap. I also just remembered I have a stressful conference call mid-afternoon. Come on, I just want to disconnect from the world for a little while. I suppose I should log out of the online program. Most likely the message I'm waiting for will come the second after I log off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Cleaned out the fridge (too bad I couldn't do it before garbage collection). Cleaned out the washer since one of the rugs shredded in there. :/ Ate the healthiest brunch I've had in years. Wow, we have a lot of fruits in our fridge. Even after I threw out a whole bag of sad-looking produce. (I hate wasting food!) I hope this will motivate me to eat a couple of fruits every day. Still waiting for the go-ahead on that transaction .... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Well FINally, the transaction is funded. It's only been 7.5 hours since I started setting it up. Say, does that mean I only have to do another half hour of work? Conference call is in 2 hours. What will happen if I take a nap now?

hjffkj Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 My children NEVER play with pots and pans. Today they got home and decided they wanted to pretend to bake and cook. Almost everything I organized is now on my kitchen table! How did they know I just spent time on that?!?!?! On a happier note, someone dh has never met in person sent him a ps4 and 2 games for no reason other than he wanted to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Dh's eye appt. done and of course they decided to not dilate him after all so I didn't have to waste an hour and a half doing this, but oh well. Grocery shopping done Pharmacy done late snack done. dd baked cookies for a client or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 i hope you realized that before 3 p.m. No, it was more like 3:12 when I realized it. :/ The result of the call was that I need to do more work. :/ Oh well, could be worse. I got it done while the kids played outside, but now people are asking for revisions. Got the kids to swim team (late) and then I walked for about 50 minutes while they did their thing. That felt good after a long time of just sitting. The kids took care of their shower and all that, so they are half ready for tomorrow. ;) They are downstairs working on piano and homework. We're going out for dinner and pie to celebrate the big transaction we closed today. All in all not a bad day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Well, it was a pretty good day until I noticed the girls' betta fish is acting really sick. I didn't want them to be shocked if he turns up floating in the morning, so I told them. This was after I'd tucked them into bed. So now they are down there crying with frustration since there isn't anything we can do about it if Mufie is going to die. :( They each got a fish in January for Miss E's birthday - their first pet, so it was kind of a special thing. I know they'll get over it, but right now they don't see it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Mufie the betta seems a lot better today. He seems to have an infection or something in his eye. But as of 7am, he was swimming around fairly normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
