SKL Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 First day back to a (hopefully) normal work schedule? Except that I'm up past 4:30am, so Monday might be tough. On the positive side, I finished some of my Monday work already. The list: Get the kids up & out to camp. They need to bring lunches and swim stuff. Basic daily cleaning. Work. During work breaks:a little reading a little exercise maybe sneak a nap?? Get some serious decluttering done. Pick kids up after swim team. Family TKD. Quick grocery stop. Laundry. Dinner. Read-aloud. Kids do some math, reading, language. Kids to bed. Work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I have decided that play dates with little children are a huge frustrating time consuming activity. twin one has developed a pressure sore on his tow from his AFO. this requires treatment pronto. So have managed to get appointment in Melbourne for next week. Lasts night he cracked one of his AFOs Just as well we have the appointment. many many phone calls to Hospital, case manager, etc. Case manager is trying to arrange an angel flight. (Yay) Toddler gym with Occupational Therapist and twins. Came home to find the next door neighbour (age 4) waiting at her fence to come over and play. 2 hours later she went home and we had a very late lunch more calls to case manager my sister decided to visit with her 4 year old and 4 month old- she stayed the whole afternoon. Visitors finally left and the kitchen fire was out. Mad scramble to get fire restarted and get tea cooked. The large amount of housework has not been done at all. my house looks like a bomb has gone off in it. I did manage to clean the bathroom ( three times - I have forgotten how massy little boys who have just been toilet trained are) :glare: the very good news is that with a huge amount of work by Speech Pathologist, Psychologist and ourselves, twin 2 has had 5 DAYS WITHOUT SCREAMING. :hurray: This is a record. Before this he was screaming for 2-4 hours a day. He had a relapse on Saturday and Sunday, but no screaming at all today. Other exciting news is I have a new washing machine. It has a 7 kg capacity. My previous one had a 4.5 kg capacity. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckymama Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Today will be busy with the final bits of getting dd ready to leave tomorrow for her 10 day visit with her best friend. She admitted yesterday to being nervous. So I spent last night awake and nervous for her. Sheesh. So --load of laundry outside --check gardens; pick --walk to/from gym for training session --drugstore run for dd --locate one of the girls' usb kindle chargers so dd can take my wall plug charger with her --bake dd's favorite muffins so she can eat dairy-free safely on the plane --hostess gift for our friends --cash for dd --make sure she's packed the important things! and so on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Good morning! We arrived home late last night. The house is in decent shape (thanks, ds2) and I have mounds of laundry and coolers to empty and clean (my absolute least favorite chore). The kids had a great meet, especially dd2 who pretty much had the breakout meet of her life. I am tired and lost my voice from all the cheering and am stiff from the driving last night. To do: Laundry Kitchen clean up Coolers Clean bathroom Tackle mail Bills (where is my money tree?) Clean study (it is a total disaster) Get a kid to bathe the dog PM practice Picnic dinner/ ds2 late aikido class Have a great day! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Got up late today, after 9am, but got the kids to camp. This camp is very flexible - it's more daycare than "camp." Found some "urgent" client emails that came in while I slept. Can you believe this one client keeps sending me stuff in the morning and saying "I need it for a meeting by 1pm today, sorry for the late notice." What the heck? I feel like saying "sorry, I can't do it." But I will try. Again. Meanwhile the construction guys are banging away on the other side of the wall. Which is good, but kind of distracting. I can't sit in my usual place because the internet has decided it doesn't reach there any more. :/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustEm Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I decided to purge kitchen stuff instead of the kid's clothes today. Halfway through it and I can't believe how much we have that I simply don't need or want. Some things I've never even used or knew existed because they were dh's before we married. Goodwill will be getting some nice things that I simply don't want taking up my precious space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Happy Anniversary, Amy! done: swim practice play with friends at the pool laundry call mom to do: more laundry dinner plan for the week! Dd and I were out of town for four days and I need to really look carefully at the calendar and do some budgeting, meal planning, school planning and filling in dates for things like consignment sales (90% of my kids' clothes!), church events, AHG etc. for August and the early fall. I feel like I am swimming in a river of entropy! Need to exert some energy to create a modicum of order, at least in my mind and on paper.

SKL Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I got a lot of "work work" done today. Took care of some stressful things. I didn't do everything I was hoping, but I feel OK and I'm ready to switch to mom stuff without guilt. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
