SKL Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Back to reality! It was so nice to have a weekend off. But I actually had work to do. :p So I am looking for that big burst of energy to get it done overnight. The kids don't have any classes/camps Monday or Tuesday, because this is back-to-school week. They start on Wednesday. Monday and Tuesday will be our last chance to finish the school's summer homework, pack up the school supplies, and a few other things. Monday's list: (I'm writing some times so I don't forget them.) Work. Call gym re missing Monday class and make-up Friday. Kids - do chores, bathe, do homework. Dust and pack away the Christmas tree ornaments. (I know.) I decided to just throw out the Christmas tree rather than try to clean it, store it, and try to fix it so it works right in December. Pack up some other stuff and clean up some clutter. Dentist appointments for the 3 of us. 2:30 to 4pm. Kids' only TKD - 5pm. Work at TKD. Quick grocery stop. Dinner. Meeting at kids' school 7pm - parents only. Kids to bed. Work. Pay bills. Kids' calendar for the school year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustEm Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Morning all. This is going to be a tough week. Dh work Monday through Thursday for a total of 42 hours then he has a work related conference Fri and Sat. Since I can't rely on his help at all this week I've got to take it slow and not burn out early in the week. Small lists for me this week. - school - quick clean my room - laundry folded, washed, away - meal plan - grocery list - kids clean their room - just relax and enjoy my time with the kids 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 * Dh has gone off to work. I overslept and didn't get a breakfast made for him. I told him to eat his lunch sandwich in the car for breakfast and to then get lunch out. Don't know what he'll decide to do though. He's working off-site so I don't know his options. * I dropped ds off at work and then went on to the lab. I was a dry shriveled up turnip this morning. I had a really good phlebotomist (she's worked on me before) but she could find nothing. Finally she did a move that I've never seen done before - she got blood out of me by going from the top of my arm (instead of the inside where they usually look for veins). Phew! It's done! * Ate breakfast. Took a.m. meds. * Made bed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Sorted out clean laundry - ds and dd have their own piles of clothes to put away. I have folded and put away all of dh and my clothes. I have explained our new chalkboard in the hall with special chores for the day on it to both kids. I talked to my brother who called to tell me that I have a new grand-niece. Ds has successfully completed his work for the day. Next: do a fridge/freezer/pantry inventory and make a grocery list.

ScoutTN Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 School is done. A pretty good day for our first day. Kids are playing. Dh is walking. Off to run errands as soon as he is back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Grocery list made. Groceries bought. Ds put away sleeping bags. Both kids folded and put away their laundry. I folded and put away dh's and my laundry. I talked to my sister and found all the couples in the sock mosh pit and put them away. I checked dd's work on yardwork and helped her get it into the yard waste bin. I took out the recycling. I brought all the garbage bins back up from the curb. Next: go through the mail and separate out the bills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Well, I got most of the stuff on my list done, so that is great! I am going to have to give my hot computer a break pretty soon though. I didn't really make the kids do much school work today. The house was just too loud and chaotic. The construction guys were pulling down one of the kitchen walls. And we now don't have a kitchen table or counter (nor laundry room). So I thought my kids were doing pretty good playing with their dolls in the room where I was working. Things weren't much better at the dentist's office. Back home in the evening, they were busy with chores. Oh well. In the end, we did start a science experiment for their school homework. Went to the teacher meeting. It wasn't all that exciting, but I guess I'm glad I went. Now I am going to go through some papers while my computer cools down.
