SKL Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Today the kids have a swim meet, theater performance, ethnic festival to attend (to watch friend's musical performance), barbecue at sister 2's house, and sleepover at sister 1's house. Sister 1's dog just had puppies today, so that will be exciting for them. Meanwhile, it is a big work / deadline day for me, so I am handing the kids off to my sister around 1pm. Get up & ready for several activities before 7:30. Kids to swim meet. Work at swim meet. Get kids ready for theater performance #2. Hand kids over to sister and drive home. Work. Pack for kids' upcoming sleepovers. Pack hand-me-downs for cousins (kids will be visiting them later). Take kids & sister to friend's music performance. Send kids with sister for visiting with extended family. Work. Work. Work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 yesterday while teaching 22 grade 2 kids, I noticed that the class was becoming quitter and quitter. After only one hour I started calling up parents to pick up their very ill child. I suspect the flue. One student vomited, the rest had massive headaches, some were feverish. There were only 6 students that felt well. Needless to say I washed my hands many many times while at school and when I came home I changed. Only to find that ds19 and ds17 already have it. DS 17 crashed by mid afternoon ( today). DS 11 has just started. I am really really hoping that the rest of us skip it or have it very mildly. Today I planted 5 blueberries, disinfected door knobs and scrubbed bathrooms 5 loads of laundry washed, hung on line and brought in ( thanks to a stiff breeze) half the house vacuumed DS11 and I mulched up prunings from flower garden ( ds working the machine and me pruning) made chicken drumsticks and veggies for tea with sticky date pudding for desert. I doubled the recipe for desert, only to have everyone tell me they were to unwell to eat desert :ohmy: . Hoping it reheats well as we will be having it tomorrow. Really really hoping the twins don't get sick as it is just over a week until I have to take twin 1 to children's hospital to get his new AFOs. He has now 2 pressure sores and blisters from his old ones. HE also is complaining constantly of sore feet and sitting down regularly in play to have a rest. :crying: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlsdMama Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 DD and I cleaned up after an event last night until almost four.... I feel surprisingly energetic, lol. DS is detassling. DH is doing stuff for Scouts today. The little girls and I stenciled flower pots. I made a wreath for the newly painted (navy - BORING) front door. I'm planting flowers today, running to ReStore, and hitting Hobby Lobby. Liz and I are going to make a new shade for her lamp. DH is coming home and making me a tetherball pole for the kids! (Pretty excited, I loved this as a kid.) In other words, a few errands then outside until the sun goes down! I love summer!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I think I will --play in my garden (talk to the plants, trim back some over-enthusiastic tomatoes, pick whatever needs picking, pull whatever needs replacing, string up some twine trellises, etc.) --process (freeze, dry, pickle, can) whatever garden bounty needs processing --ignore the weeds in the front :lol: --continue working on the psych syllabus --wrap up dd's next care package (cute socks!)

Julie Smith Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Dh is left early this morning and wouldn't be back till 10 at night. We cleaned off and reorganized the back patio. We now have school to do. The boys choose to do little to no school on Friday since they knew we would have a quiet day at home today to get it done.
