Good morning!

 

I was supposed to get my nephew today, but he aspirated a little bit during a seizure yesterday. My sister took him to the ER, and they gave him an antibiotic shot and a prescription. My sister wants to watch him today and make sure he's okay before sending him here tomorrow. She's got work scheduled at the house, so I need to get him if at all possible.

fed cats

coffee

To Do:

meals

school with ds

plan co-op classes for Friday and get supplies for an activity

Continue book club book (The Witch of Blackbird Pond)

Good morning! Morning practice run over. There have been some key departures from the swim team lately which have lessened the crazy a little bit. Other teams can deal with them now. And I don't have to really speak to them again. Maybe a smile and wave, but that is it :)

Regular week here. Everyone is mostly over the cold. I slept terribly last night, so maybe a nap for me.

 

To do:

school with boys

ds3 will nap, I am sure, so school part II after lunch

daily chores

laundry

update calendar (changes to swim schedule/tennis)

bills

other household administration

read, maybe nap

PM practice swim/aikido/swim

late aikido pick-up

 

Have a great day!

I went back to sleep after the kids went to school, so now I've had 3-4 hours and I'm good to go.

 

Conference call about the Big Project is at noon EST and I just received a ton of documents that I didn't have before.  :P  The due date to submit the report to the g-man is tomorrow.  :P  This guy was supposed to send me stuff on Friday ... feels like deja vu....

So I've been sending the answers to the g-man's questions to my client "for their review" over the past 2 weeks.  As of Friday I had sent all of them except for 2, which I sent this morning.  Well, they are waiting until tomorrow to review them all.  They've blocked an hour or two on their schedule.  Do they understand we're talking hundreds if not thousands of pages?

 

Whatever - the less they review, the less I need to change.  :P

 

Now to go through the new pile of files I just received.  :/

This day is trying to kill me.

 

 

Get DD's tire repaired.

Drive an hour away to do paperwork to reserve Legion for fundraiser

Stop and see Grandpa while I'm there.

Drive an hour back.

Stop and pick up clothing from my nephew for DS on the way home.

Pick up lunch (thanks McD's.)

Come home - naptime

Do homework (mine - due today) during naptime.

Wake up kids, feed them something.

Drive an hour away and drop off two chickens and a cat to my cousin's (And finally have a poop free sandbox.  Maybe.)

Head back home - detour to my sister's.  Dig up raspberry plants

Come home and SLEEP.

 

This weekend was exhausting, truly exhausting, and I'd give my left arm for this week to go away.

I went back to bed some time after 1pm and didn't get up until 4:30.

 

So I didn't make much progress on the work I promised by tomorrow morning.  :P

 

Well, the good thing is that the upcoming "all-nighter" will not kill me.  I am a night person anyway, might as well own it.  :)

 

Boss will not be pleased at my lack of production.  Oh well.

got my nap yipee.   Hopefully that helps kick this bug out of my system.

 

didn't go to swim.  There was a big storm warning.  Last time there was we got stuck at the pool for hours because of a possible tornado.  I decided just to skip. 

It stormed for maybe 10 mins and then was beautiful.  Made the wrong call.  Oh well. we went on a walk instead.  And they don't have practice on Tuesday.  

 

Now I will have to run to the library early in the morning.

Never did fold that basket of laundry today.

Ordered kids some pj's.

Thought about tomorrow's dinner and took meat out of the freezer.

 

That's all.
