SKL Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Yay, the tackle thread! I need to go through this exercise today. It's crazy in my mind. Today the maids are coming. I'm not really sure how that happened, considering that our house is barely distinguishable from a garbage dump right now because of the construction. We're supposed to be getting new carpets / flooring in the next few days (?), so I'm not sure why it is worth vacuuming now, but whatever. I will have to clean up all the clutter with half of my house off-limits and the kids underfoot. It's garbage day, so I will also try to get rid of as much junk as I can. I don't know what the construction guys are doing today, but I know it will be disruptive. Today is the last day of my kids' summer vacation. So we have a lot to do - finish the summer homework, organize and pack school supplies, go over the classroom rules, figure out what to wear, haircuts, last minute shopping, etc. And in the middle of all this, I am supposed to put in a day's work. Ha! The list: Work. Clean for maids. Organize hand-me-downs and donations. Take out a ton of garbage. Kids need to finish their summer homework. Bills and other personal paperwork. Kids to soccer practice. Some shopping. Haircuts for the 3 of us. Kids' calendar. Whatever I'm forgetting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I finished the kids' calendar with their regular activities. Next step is to figure out where we can fit in horse riding and some other things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 I really really really really really do not want to give myself my shots. But I am way overdue - I didn't take them with me to camp. Dh is nagging me every day since I've come home. I have them out on the table now to warm up (cold shots hurt more) and will give them to myself in a bit. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassenach Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Dh is out of town, and we have a major painting and furniture moving operation underway. Unfortunately, ds is sick. I have no idea if we'll be able to move forward. If he can leave the house- go to the paint store paint paint paint move furniture get rid of stuff If he can't- look at paint colors online get rid of stuff finish priming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 The construction guys, besides their usual noise (machines, banging, talking to each other), have decided they need to be listening to heavy metal today. And they have the water turned off for an indefinite time period. My kids have asked if they can go somewhere else to work. Like where? :P No, I've been doing this for the past 3 months, you can do it for one day. They are not concentrating very well, and when they are, they keep interrupting me with questions. What's an adjective? What's an adverb? What's the # on Peyton Manning's jersey? (??) I got a couple of rooms mostly straightened up and the kitchen/bathrooms in shape, so the maids hopefully won't faint when they get here. So now I am trying to "work." I am gonna be so happy when I get my house back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 One of the things on my kids' summer homework list is to wash my car. I never ever wash my car, but whatever. I looked up a car wash place since I don't see us being able to do it at home with all that's going on. I hope they are open late. :P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tess in the Burbs Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 ok, this summer I have let life go. Too much. We are back into school and I see that letting it all go was a bad idea. I was trying not to nag about housework this summer. My house/life is a mess! today: kid's online computer classes. One down, one in progress. clean something. Anything. put up dishes get dd birthday card pack kids for summer camp laundry before packing make dinner. something from chicken or beef. I wish there were cleaning fairies.....

No More Perfect Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I need coffee. I'm usually tired and ready for bed for the day by lunch; coffee is the usual antidote for that. School is almost done and I'll be leaving for the doctor in less than 2 hours. Still enough time to help the 7th grader with her science lab - groan.

mom31257 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 School is done. I had to run out and paid the bill I needed to pay, but I haven't made my meal plan/grocery list yet. One load of laundry is finished, and one is in the dryer. I'm considering a third. I've had 2 cups of tea this afternoon, one green tea acai blueberry and one cinnamon chalet herbal. I enjoy a good cup of tea! I just need to get my life situated so that I can actually invite people to my house for it. On to make my list.

SKL Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 How did it get to be this late?? I will call this day a success since I survived it. :P OK, and we got a lot done, and my kids were happy when I tucked them in bed. Though it was way past their bedtime. ;) They are excited to start school tomorrow. I am such an awesome mom, I managed to save up some fun surprises until tonight and they were well-received. The kids' clothes for tomorrow are picked out and bags are mostly packed. They have to finish up their summer science project in the morning (writing their observations of an egg sitting in vinegar for 2 days). With this finished, there was only one item (out of about 50) on the summer homework list that they didn't do: attend Vacation Bible School. Now here's hoping we don't forget to pack the binders in the morning rush. ;) The self car wash was a blast - figuratively and literally. Too bad it was kind of cold, so nobody was keen to get wet. I mean, people were needing coats / blankets at soccer practice on August 25? And just a few days ago I was burning up. I got rid of some piles of garbage and as usual, that felt good. The Christmas tree which has stood in our family room for about 5 years is on the treelawn. I even got some work done. Now I'd better start thinking about sleep. Here's hoping I wake up in time to get the kids ready for school! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
