JustEm Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Morning all! It's 5 am and I slept maybe 4 hours. Hoping to get back to sleep once baby gets settled down again but I figured I'd post my to do list while I'm up. Today I start the downstairs deep clean. - dust surface down stairs - wipe down surfaces - scrub base boards - vacuum under couch cushions - vacuum behind washer & dryer and dryer vent - sweep - mop - continue organizing game closet - kung fu for kids - mail more letters I think that's it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 good morning y'all! Today we are going to look at a new dog and possibly bring him home for a few days to see how we get along together. It has been two years since the sweet dog in my avatar pic passed and I am finally ready for a new furry friend in our home. Other stuff today is ordinary, not exciting but very necessary: schoolwork library AHG paperwork grocery I hope you get your taxes done, Jean! It is such a relief to get that out of the way.

SKL Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Oh, taxes! I get mine done by our company's CPA because 99% of it depends on how he reports the business taxes. But I do my parents' and sister's and a friend's taxes. The last couple years I extended them for my family members (which only extends the stress). Maybe I'll do them on time this year so we don't have to worry about it. If I do that it will be on Easter for my parents', probably the following week for my sister's. (My friend always wants hers done in February so she can get the refund ASAP.) My kids' fish is looking better today, but still has a swollen eye, so I don't know ... thanks Jean for posting all that good information about betta illnesses. He doesn't seem bloated. We should probably change out their water and filter in case that would help. In other news, Miss A says her toe is worse today. I was hoping to avoid going to the doctor. Any ideas for a sore toe that doesn't show any clear signs of injury? It isn't swollen or black-and-blue. This is the kids' last school day until the 13th, yay! I am hoping to get through some home workbooks so I can throw them out and reduce the clutter. The teacher also assigned a science project for them to do, and test prep. So here's today's list: Get the kids up & out, including breakfast & lunches. [done] Clean bathrooms, kitchen, and some clutter. [done] Review and approve architect plans for home remodel. [done] Work until 5:30pm. [done] Take work breaks for:a little exercise [done] a little reading [done] a little housework [done] get kids started on their homework / piano / chores [done] Kids to soccer practice at 6pm. [done] Kids shop for Easter candy? [done] Dinner, read-aloud. [dinner done] Assemble bookshelves? [nope] Kids to bed. [done] Work until midnight.

Vernal Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Good morning all. Yesterday I declared a spring break. So we played outside all day with DH. I'm feeling it today though. Got DH off to work with some lunch. Animals are fed and let out Breakfast snack fed to kiddos (this is what DS calls a breakfast that isn't up to his expectations lol) No book work because spring break continues. I have suffered through a few read alouds Lunch with my dad Home to do a few things: Laundry Pick up my bedroom Find something for supper. No ideas yet though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Took ds to work Went back to bed Scout - I don't have to finish the taxes today - I just need to start them! SKL - I'm glad the Betta is feeling better. And I think I'd take your dd to the doc. (I mean if she was my dd. I wouldn't actually come and take your dd. . .! :D ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 The baby has not wanted to be out of my arms for more than 10 minutes so far today so not much cleaning has happened. I did do 2 loads of laundry and all the dusting and wiping down in the living room. Plus a went through our DVDs and got rid of a good amount. So not unproductive just less productive than I'd like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustEm Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Jean, you've got good excuses! Plus I'm usually not so productive I just really don't want to come home from Alabama to a dirty house. We're leaving for Alabama in 6 days 2 of which will be spent celebrating easter with family so I've got a lot to do in a small amount of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Ran to the grocery store for an onion The pork adobo is on the stove.

ScoutTN Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Well the fur-baby is here. Will post a pic when I get to my laptop. He's a sweet, 4 yr old black lab mix with long fur and an easygoing disposition. Not interested in a tennis ball, untrained but not terrible on a leash, great with kids, interested in other dogs walking by the house but doesn't bark unless they come close. Very cuddly and wants to be petted and. have his tummy rubbed. Dd is so happy with him. He may end up being mostly her dog, which would not be a bad thing. Might distract her from horses! I may need a new vacuum. Dog with long, black hair was not in my plan! But this is a free, well behaved, healthy dog who has been well cared for and never mistreated. We'll keep him for a few days and see how we all get along together. Dh is the key. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I'm done for the day! The downstairs is half done. Laundry needs to be folded and put away but I'm too tired for that. Tomorrow dh has off and is planning to clean out the garage so I doubt I'll get to the downstairs but who knows. Maybe I'll offer the kids videogame time if they help. For their ages they can really get a lot accomplished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Dh went to work Dd is done with school I don't think ds is totally done but he's getting there. Chiropractor is done Library is done. dinner is done Now - I'm going to start on the taxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Well, I forgot that I had agreed to go shopping with elder dd so...no playing in the yard for me! Instead I shopped for shoes at DSW (I found clearanced hiking sneakers---one of the benefits of wearing a size 6 :D) while she replaced her holey Keds and broken sandals, and then I spent an hour nodding sympathetically while she tried to find jeans that fit (we're both curvy--v frustrating finding pants).

SKL Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Well, today had its ups and downs. This morning my email was on the blink again so I was fussing with that. Then I learned we've been sucked into a legal situation that has nothing to do with us. Then Miss A came home from school with broken glasses, which I managed to screw back together after about a half hour. Later Miss A banged her sore toe twice more, and now it is quite swollen, so we're probably going to have to go to the doctor tomorrow. But it was great seeing the kids hop around in the pleasant fresh air at soccer practice. (Yes, Miss A was happy to run and jump and kick at soccer, though she was only kicking with her good foot. Despite whatever is going on with her toe, she was still the fastest runner on the field.) At home they were playing some sort of dress-up fantasy and it was nice to see them still enjoying pure child's play. Mufie the Betta seems much better (but still a little putzy). The kids are in great moods because school is temporarily out. Now theoretically I have an hour and a half to work, but my back is hurting, so I may just lie down and see what happens.

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Finished a chunk of taxes. I'll probably get back to it after a break but first, that break! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
