LisaKinVA Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) DS/DD Chem and Comp...plus running lines for tomorrow night's play. Some last cookie baking, and a couple deliveries. Laundry, cleaning out school supplies. Clean floors(dog blowing her coat), bathrooms, and kitchen. Making sure we have videos and books downloaded/preparing for the next 9 weeks of school. Menu planning, recipe organization, shopping list. Our Christmas Thank you notes have been mailed. I think that's a record. Scratch the above...I wrote this before going downstairs. Apparently,there was a party downstairs, and everything is everywhere. The house has to get picked up (LEGO, coloring, intermingled with food, dishes, and trash), trash collected (someone left the trash out, and my dog had her own party), and dishes washed before we can start.

Pawz4me Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I intend to start the new year off with some exercise and a long walk. Beyond that I just need to do a few basic things -- a load of towels, vacuum the kitchen, make a gallon of tea, etc. I hope that'll leave a little time for some normal holiday activities. Like reading and napping. :laugh: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 DSS 21&20-went out so probably sleeping DD 17-work DS14,DDS12&8-sleep, do their laundry DH and I-go out to breakfast and enjoy that rare treat, then take a walk The afternoon will probably feature family games. Tomorrow everything resumes-work, sports, school planning, packing up the secular Christmas decorations. The nativities get left out until Epiphany. Much cleaning really needs to ensue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dh and dd1 are at a friends house so dd2 and I are eating clam chowder (the canned kind) - baths- dd2 is done (i'm sure she may need another one before bedtime though as that is the routine) - bedtime routine - anything else I get done- went through dd2's drawers and pulled out outgrown things and organized the rest, made space and put up new crockpot in closet (it doesn't fit in the kitchen cabinet with the old one, and yes I'm keeping both because the new one is bigger than the old one and the old one is the perfect size for the four of us), nap with dd2 Edited January 1, 2016 by MomtoCandJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny in Florida Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) Because I just love seeing things crossed off my to-do list, I'm including things I've already done: Finish the cinammon bread I started last night Prepare and feed breakfast to the teens who spent the night here Clean up after the teens who spent the night here Sweep fireworks debris off the driveway and front walk Do a load of laundry (including drying and folding it) Edit today's round of submissions for the classes I begin teaching next week/Return parent and student e-mails Help my husband prep to welcome him role playing group this afternoon/evening Prep for my tutoring session with the little girl next door Set up my book list document for this year with the two reading challenges I've chosen consolidated into one place Take a nap to try and catch up on a bit of the sleep I missed last night Looking at the number of things I've already crossed off, I'm thinking it's time to tackle that nap now.
