Melissa in Australia Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 normal routine of up early milk cow and process twins GP appointment do lunch and clean up afternoon schoolwork with ds11- so so glad dd15 is intrinsically motivated and does everything herself had call form twins case manager.- she wants me to get the twins to make birthday cards for birth parent and teach them the song so next access visit they can sing and hand them over- we actually do not celebrate birthdays. Case manager knows- this it is written in our files. Why oh why does she try to make life difficult. why can she not work with us and be a support for us. Discussed with DH and we decided that the twins can do a few pages of their predrawing ( scribble) and they can just hand it to birth parents without all the fanfare. cooked spaghetti sauce for tea then went and refereed U19 boys basketball semi-finals came home to find Dh had cooked the pasta, fed twins and got them to bed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustEm Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Well it's a root canal or tooth extraction for dh. I told him it was obviously his decision and not to worry about the cost, we'll figure that part out later. They got him an appointment with a specialist this afternoon so he's got a few hours to decide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Please pray I pass this math test, I'm going to be late to class due to sitter availablity issues (not her fault, it's their last day of school and she's my back up). I know my girls will love having her sit them :D Good luck! Once I had a car accident on the way to an accounting test. I was late, but the teacher was understanding. Surprisingly, I got 100% on the test (nobody else did). I think the unusual stress threw my brain into overdrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Last night I went to bed rather early because my home internet wasn't working. (It has not been a good week for internet!) So I thought I'd get up early, but I didn't. My kids came into my bed after 9am and snuggled and read. :) They are so motivated and pleasant today (so far). I hope it rubs off on me. :) This morning I learned that the weekend scout trip has been called off due to expected thunderstorms. So now I think I will do a TKD camp instead. Today's list: Get kids going with breakfast, packed lunch, and work list. [done] Work until about 12:30. [done] Kids to gym camp. Try a new location to work at while they are at camp. [done] Family TKD. [done] Dinner at some point. [done] Kids' tennis lesson if it isn't rained out. [done] Hopefully get some house things done in the evening. Kids to bed. [done] Work until midnight (or later if I'm on a roll). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MomtoCandJ Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Ok all done with the first list.... The girls loved the new sitters (ok it probably helps that they met before and have played together) I like it because there is automatic built in backup with other sisters in the family :) I've hired them for the summer because I know they are reliable and the girls are really happy - school work (A&P) - call in dh's scripts- done - dinner- meat pulled to thaw - pay rest of bills (waiting for dh to see how he wants them done)- will do later but I know what he wants done - grocery shopping (need to pick up a few things for school too)- dh and dd1 are going, dd2 is finally napping - baths - bedtime routine - more school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz CA Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Thank God the temps have come down. Laundry Dog training DMV phone call Cleaning - where to start? Did some dusting - yeah! (Pat on the back) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Got through my list plus a few extra things. Too bad it has been so muggy out. It's hard to enjoy the outdoors like this. This evening, I learned that the maids are coming tomorrow. I guess my "please give me more notice than one day" didn't get across. But since I wanted to clean up anyway tonight, I'm not too irritated. Plus, they are coming at 1pm and my kids don't have anything in the morning, so it won't be too crazy. Though, finding something for my kids to do so they don't distract the maids will be interesting. Normally they are at school or camp in the daytime. I have to finish 2 loads of laundry and go through a lot of my kids' crap, and I'd like to do this overnight, but I don't know if it will happen. I also have a lot of "work work" that I would like to get through before morning. But that bed looks awful good too. Let's see what happens.
