Get dinner in crock pot (spaghetti sauce) to simmer slow and low all day...done

 

Mix up last 1/4 of my dog's meals for the next 2 months (this is a mixture of meat, bone meal, cheese, yogurt, spinach, brussel sprouts, pumpkin, banana, carrot, squash, green beans, peas, raspberries, blueberries, bananas and apples).  We rotate her food (1/4 is meat, bony meat, sardines, 1/4 is meat, bony meat & egg, 1/4 is meat & bony meat, and the other is meat, bone meal & fruits and veggies).  It looks weird...

 

School...answer e-mails...make lists of things I need to get done before Friday.

 

laundry (mostly folding, most of the washing is all caught up)

 

My Italian class

 

Speech Therapy/commissary & grocery run (eggs and milk, mozzarella di bufala, tomatoes & bread for dinner)

 

Swimming & more of my Italian class

 

Praying dh's car can be FIXED for 500euro vs. buying another $3,000 car right now...just would rather put off buying cars until later this summer.  We're going to switch to diesel, and I'm going to be driving a stick, too.  We're looking at an Opel Zafira, a Ford S-Max, or a Volvo crossover.  All seat 7.  My van is still running strong, but it IS 14 years old.  Switching to diesel will enable us to buy fuel more cheaply AND get better mileage (about double our mileage between the two vehicles).  My van will become more of a utility/hauling vehicle.  Parts are just difficult to come by.

Good morning!

 

I didn't fix the van window because it was going to be $300. I don't even need the window to come down, just stay up. They said they would have to charge labor to just get in the door panel and see if it could have a temporary fix.  I brought it home and wedged some cardboard pieces in the side and am going to see if it will hold. 

 

Done:

breakfast and lunch for dh

fed cats

coffee

 

To Do:

shower/get dressed

breakfast

pay bills

go to bible study

go to a friend's house because her daughter is doing a Japanese tea ceremony for us (We are using the same history curriculum and getting together for activities.)

finish school

dinner

laundry

tidy house

Good morning! We got about a foot of snow! The girls rolled out to practice and dd1 said it was adventurous driving :) Everything is cancelled, except practice this afternoon. Because the Y never closes and our German coach doesn't believe in snow days.

 

The girls practiced outside last night.

 

To do:

Bills

School for all

Read

Jen things

 

PM practice

 

Have a great day!

Today is my youngest first birthday so my older 2 are trying to convince me that means no school today. Silly kids don't realize how easy they have it at home with the hour of school we do. I'd like today to be as productive as yesterday so I'll make my list reflect what I hope to accomplish.

 

- school

- clean my room

- clean entryway and entryway closet

- kids clean their room

- exercise DVD

- read for an hour

- start garden layout planning

- fiddle with new way of budgeting we're attemping

Work.  Yes, I am still working on the stuff I wanted to finish on the weekend.  Plus new stuff of course.

 

I was hoping to go to TKD today, but my kid may have sprained her wrist.  If she is still hurting a lot tonight, I think we may have to skip the upcoming belt test.  Boo!

School was slooow today, but we did a solid day's work. Dd is pokey and daydreams.

Dinner is ready; we are waiting a few more minutes for Dh to get home.

 

 

Got a couple of school books ordered today. AAS 7, the last spelling book I will ever buy. :)

Sent a bunch of emails.

 

Still need to check consignment shifts and reconcile YNAB.

And redo the checklists.

 

But not a lot more will get done tonight. After dinner is clean up and play games or read with kids time.

Then I am too tired and my brain doesn't work anymore.

Dd definitely has something wrong with her.  My Energizer Bunny is listless.  And she didn't complain or fuss when I said that she needed to stay home from volunteering tonight.
 

She got science done - today's emphasis - but nothing else.

 

Went to the grocery store and the pet store and Starbucks.

 

Thought very briefly about doing some yardwork since it was really nice today but the feeling quickly passed.

 

Folded and put away one load of laundry

Washed and dried one load of laundry.

Well Miss A did complain of a sore wrist, so we will probably have to wait until April to go for our brown belt test.  :/  Then suddenly at the end of the evening, she said her wrist was healed, and began doing back handsprings in the hall.  :/

 

So the kids had some time to do a little "mom work" after their homework.  I worked with Miss A on some math, and they played the piano.  Then we let the parakeet out of her cage for the first time.  I hear you are supposed to do this daily, but I was always afraid she would fly away and hide and not want to go back to the cage.  She was skittish until recently.  Now she will climb on the kids' hands, so we decided to let her fly.  That was fun.  Then we did yoga with a kid video.  It was a nice evening.

 

I almost forgot that I was supposed to do a couple accounting reports today.  Who knows what else I am forgetting ....

 

The auditors have pointed out a $10 discrepancy.  Dangit.  I don't know if they are right, but I hate when that happens.  Though I don't know how it could be true when I reconcile the bank accounts every month ....
