Melissa in Australia Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 get up early and milk cow. gave twins breakfast on the verandah ( a special treat, at least they thought so) while I did all the rest of the family's chores that are within eyesight of the verandah try to fix washing machine - find that a screwdriver doesn't fit. ring ds21 for instructions on what tool to look for in the shed. Find out ds21 has a bad cold and cannot speak on the phone. Ring ds19 and he gives me detailed description "it is the tool that has a long blue handle and lots of little bits of metal that attach to the end" :confused1: . I could not find anything by that description at all and give up . spend lots of time working with twins. tidy up the whole Verandah and sweep outside of house getting rid of lots of cobwebs. cook corned beef for tea ds 17 knew exactly the tool needed and fixed the washing machine when he came home from work :hurray: now mentally preparing myself for the 3 hour drive in each direction to take twin 2 to a developmental optometrist tomorrow. Have I ever mentioned that I hate driving? and I usually don't drive more than an hour cause I find it so tiring? and tomorrow is the end of a 4 day public holiday smack bang in the school holidays with lots of traffic. :auto: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustEm Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I'm exhausted from being out all day and the emotional drain of the funeral service so I think I'll tackle everything else either tonight after kids are in bed or tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustEm Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 We started packing for the trip but aren't done. I'm beat so I'm heading to bed. My wonderful dh is going to be doing the laundry while he plays videogames tonight so I can go to bed without feeling like I'm piling more onto my already busy schedule tomorrow. So I'll fold and put them away in the morning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Both kids had fun at theater camp, so that was a win. :) You never know with Miss E because she gets stage fright. I did some walking while the kids were at the rec center, so that was nice. Usually I feel guilted into trying to work while they are there, and I can't really concentrate much anyway unless I have a work emergency. I hope to change that going forward. I felt almost proud of myself for doing something healthy for a change. Now to get some work accomplished to balance it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Stressed. Did some laundry but not enough. Did all meals. Not positive on all the meals for tomorrow. But I know what we're having for breakfast and have an idea of what we're having for lunch. Just realized that dd is testing tomorrow. Ack! Have gone through all the mail and sorted the bills. Now I need to pay the bills, which has it's own stress. - PAID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
