Faithr Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Getting ready for the blizzard of '16 r whatever they wind up calling it. I thought I was good but I just realized I don't have quite enough petfood or kitty litter, if we are snowed in for three or four days. Grr. So - take 17 yo to math tutor Buy petfood/kitty litter (I wonder if this will be sold out as it is a substitute for sand or salt?) Come home and make basement a little more livable if the electricity goes out and we wind up camping down there by the gas fireplace. Mass at noon to pray for everybody affected (effected? I never know!) by the blizzard Wait for snow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) I woke up this morning. Yay for me! I woke many times with that feeling of dread over work that isn't done and who's gonna have a fit about it.... I think most of that is in my head, but it's more demotivating than motivating. The kids were dragging this morning, and then one of them clogged the toilet with too much TP. GREAT, like we have time for that? Ultimately the school bus had to wait half a minute for my slower runner, and I'm sure she got a talking-to. Oh well. Thank God it's Friday. Oh, and I just found the property tax bill that was due yesterday. Crap. Today's list: Kids up & out to school. [done] Clean the kitchen, bathrooms and some clutter. [done] Feed the critters and such. [done] Sign kids up for AHG overnight. [done] Work. Sign kids up for gymnastics camp tonight. [done] Sign kids up for horse riding for the rest of winter and prepare check. [done for tomorrow, will arrange future weeks later] Laundry. [done] A little reading. Pay bills. Kids' work. Put TKD gear in the car. (We forgot it yesterday.) Family TKD? [bummer, Friday class time conflicts with gymnastics.] Sign kids up for TKD belt test. [next week] Dinner on the fly. Kids to gymnastics. Work while they play. Kids to bed. Work. Edited January 22, 2016 by SKL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 Affected. Affected means having been impacted by something. Effected means produced. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 SNOW DAY!!!! 2-3" and still falling. That is a blizzard for Music City. ;) We had French toast and bacon for breakfast and kids are building a snowman while dog tries to attack it. I am having a second cup of tea. later today: make bread watch a movie play outside with kids and neighbors call my mom dinner - roast chx, mashed potatoes and gravy, green peas 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I should clean out my car too. It is getting really gross. Every time we get home it's so cold or so late, nobody wants to pick up the junk - and I know it's not going to get stinky in the freezing cold. :P But it makes me feel like a pig. Ugh.

SKL Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I think the challenge of the day should be to write a coherent sentence that uses all 4: effect (n), effect (v), affect (v), and affect (n). Bonus points if you additionally use words like effective, affection.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Condessa Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I was very sick yesterday, and I'm still pretty weak and shaky and tired, but now dh, dd2, and ds2 are all coming down with it. So today is a survival day: -Feed everyone who's up to eating. -Deal with cleaning up after sick little ones, and basically hold and comfort littlest one all day. -Basic school subjects for dd1. -Do dd1's hair up and find a way to get her to and from her first day of gymnastics preteam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Bread baking now. Kids outside for round 3 of snow play. No one had lunch because they are all filled up with cocoa! My dryer is finally still for a bit. Dog is worn out. :) :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 Human care is done Pet care is done Medical care is done Dishwasher was unloaded (dd) and loaded (me). There are still dishes waiting for me to either hand wash them or to put them in the dishwasher later, so the kitchen isn't clean yet. Recycling was taken out. Compost was taken out. I filed. Woot! (This tends to be a trouble spot for me where I don't get to it nearly often enough). Wash is in the washing machine and probably needs to be switched to the dryer. Mail has been sorted and mostly dealt with. Bills have been sorted. School is in progress. Next: Put wet stuff in the dryer. Pay bills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
