SKL Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Happy Thursday! I started the day in a pretty good mood. Got enough sleep, got the kids out on time, house is pretty neat, weather is beautiful. Did some yoga. Awesome. Then. I discover that all of our work emails are down. (Not just mine, my partners' too.) I send emails to our tech guys (via my personal email, which still works) and ... crickets. Not so awesome. It's a good thing I can do most of today's work without my work email, but I won't know if I get emails from clients, so that's stressful. On that note, the list: Get the kids up & out. [done] Clean bathrooms, kitchen, some clutter. [done] Yoga. [done] Work until 5pm. [done] Work breaks for: [done]a little reading [done] a little exercise [done] personal bills and such [done] Kids' soccer game. [done] Bank. [oops] Dinner. [done] Laundry. [tomorrow] Kids' work or reading together. [done] Prepare kids' bags and clothes for Friday. [bags done] Kids to bed. [done] Work until midnight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustEm Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Morning all! This morning I get to deal with stupid insurance issues until these 2 bills from after dd was born are figured out. I should owe anything but I've got over 400 in bills sitting in front of me that are getting dealt with today no matter how long I have to be on the phone. After that I'll make a list for the rest of the day 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Good morning! Ds (pic below) turns 12 today. Time sure flies when you're having fun! He is our live-in laugh machine. His humor, empathy, and generosity are things I love about him. Done: his special request breakfast (waffles with Nutella and Biscoff, but not together) tidying the house some To Do: lunch go to Dairy Queen for dessert with a couple of his friends more tidying and house cleaning for me dinner out and Avengers 2 for his birthday 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Well I got the most expensive bill dealt with. Can't do the other one until I get home because I don't have the right insurance information for that one. So I suppose I'll make my list now. - school - quick clean downstairs - more going through books - pick up yard for mowers coming tomorrow - read for an hour - stay sane (Thursdays are the longest and I hate them) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuck!) to Walmart for photos buy fabric laundry vacuum bathroom wipe down cut out dd's dress start sewing bodice buy a fast pass or easy pass or whatever so I can drive in the fast lanes on 95 temple trip tonight - meet at the church at 4:30pm Focus on not getting sick - vitamin C, lots of water, etc...

Susan in TN Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Happy birthday, ds12 of mom31257 (Amy)! So far today I have collected 6 large bags of clothing to donate, finished sorting through 6 tubs, and put 13 tubs away (except for the ones that need to go up to the attic. I don't do attics.) swept area and took out trash. Next up is lunch, then a trip into town to bring dd to dress rehearsal. On the way home, stop by Barnes and Noble and hope they have a copy of Where the Wild Things Are to exchange for the ripped one I got online. Ds10 threw up this morning, so it looks like I will have to miss the concert tonight. Dh is hoping he can stop by the house and pick up the other kids after his meetings so they can go. Have to write/send a birthday card to my aunt who turns 90 this weekend. Also find out ds's plans for dorm check-out and summer school lodging so I know when to be at the university tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 evening check-in: went to pick up ds' new glasses. I guess he really really needed new ones. He keeps saying things like "I can see the feathers on that bird!" or "Look - there are people riding their bikes up on the hill!" grocery shopped on the way home quick lunch at home and got dh off to work. Ds - allergy shot since the prednisone has calmed his allergies down enough to handle it. He's loopy though and I don't think that he got any school done. Dd did get some school done though she was not happy at her writing assignment. Stopped at Petsmart for a rabbit harness. Dd tried to put it on him too quickly and Rusty was not happy. He's still mad at her and keeps thumping his foot at her to let her know that. Tricked Rusty into being penned for the time being. dinner done took dd to the Y.

JustEm Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 The massive book organization/ decluttering is done! In the end I could only part with a single box of books. It's a start but I was hoping to be able to part with more. But I will say the books we kept are all loved by someone so at least I have a house filled with books and 5 book lovers. Bedtime for me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Well, I still don't have work email, so this is getting scary. The kids' soccer game was pretty bad. Usually when there is a shutout, it's us shutting the other side out, and we have a rule where we stop scoring if we are 5 points ahead. The theory being that there's no point rubbing salt in the wounds of 7-8yo girls. Well, this time the other side just kept scoring. I guess they waived the rule because our coach was late or something. We were down a few players (including the only 2 with prior year experience), so our kids got no rest in the heat, while the other team had a bunch of kids resting on the bench. And their coach kept gloating loudly like a prime a$$hole. Times like this make me really value our coach all the more. Sportsmanship, people. But, kids being what they are, smiles returned when we got milkshakes and went to the park. :) So it's been a long day and that pillow looks really good right now. Too bad I have a conference call at 1pm tomorrow, for which I am not prepared. Ugh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
