Today:

  1. quick tidy of the house
  2. take ds to DMV for learners permit
  3. shopping for food
  4. shopping with Sophia for some new clothes
  5. figure out something easy for dinner

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning all!

Congrats on finishing the taxes, Jean!

SKL, it is not mean to keep a sick kid out of your room! Very sensible.

 

Fourth day in a row of April showers here. Cloudy and rainy all day. I hope it helps my garden off to a good start!

 

Schoolwork here is down the core. Math, writing and Latin. A little history or science around the edges when we have time.

The end is in sight!

 

Wednesday is our short day.

 

Houshold chores, mostly done.

School

Go pick up fresh milk.

Finish up schoolwork.

Walk the dog.

Lunch and RA

 

Leave for dance. Think of something for Ds to do during dance.

Review my lesson for church tonight.

Help Ds clean up his room, at least make a start.

 

Evening at church. Choir, dinner, class.

Review tomorrrow's schoolwork.

doing school now.  And laundry.  

 

I need to finish gathering camping gear for the AHG camping trip this weekend.  

Need to get to the grocery store for food and household supplies tonight or tomorrow.  

Need to go grocery shopping for our part of the food...might push this off until Fri morning

 

DS has tooth extraction tomorrow...so I need to figure out food for him??

 

honestly, I have a lot to do but don't have a great list going yet.

I assigned dd an assignment that I thought would keep her busy all morning while I figured out the tax snafu.  She needed me to walk her through it every step of the way.   :banghead:

 

Now I've done my part on the taxes (ie. all the work)  but dh is dragging his feet because he wants to do other stuff before checking it out and signing.  I'm trying not to be massively irritated because I just want all of this done.  

 

I did get the kitchen mostly clean.

and I folded one load of laundry.

Didn't get enough work done today, but got some done.  Miss Pukey was being Miss Chatty whenever she got a chance.

 

Now Miss Pukey (who did not puke today) says she does not think she can go swimming.  She suggests she should do her make-up work at a table at the rec center.  I could probably still do my walking, although I might feel a little mean doing it under the circumstances.

Ds is done with the dentist.

I've scheduled my stress echocardiogram.

I've sent off the taxes.  The post office was a ZOO!

We went to the grocery store and got stuff for ds' favorite carne asada.  He has that marinating.  I'm mostly done cleaning the grill.

 

I need to get dh to give me my shots.  I really don't want to but oh well.

The newest work email frustration:  now suddenly I am getting hundreds and hundreds of junk mails in my inbox.  Seriously.  Where did this come from?  A week ago the spam filter was eating most of my client emails, and now this.

 

As for Miss Pukey, she was almost fine a few hours ago.  Now she is looking sicker than ever.  Ugh.  I gave her some Advil so she could sleep comfortably.  I hope she is OK tomorrow.  We have piano and scouts in the afternoon, and we missed the last meeting (3 weeks ago) thanks to my work deadline insanity.  I hate to miss again, and yet I hate to expose all those kids to a bug....
