SKL Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Well, at midnight I was on the phone with "the boss" who was of course telling me off. Which of course was soooo motivating! So I am NOT done with what I was intending to send out before bed last night, but I am still going to try to send it out in the morning. I have at least one conference call today, which I need to prepare for and run. BLECH. I am not ready. And lots of other stuff. The kids are scheduled to be at the horse barn all day. I just have to find time to drive them there. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteryJen Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Good morning! Still feeling pretty frustrated about the inability of the house to cool down, especially at night. The house cooled down 3 degrees. It is currently 10 degrees warmer in the house than outside. Drives me batty, as our AC bills will be through the roof if we can't get the house cool at night. I have lived here my whole life and I have never had a house that wouldn't cool down. To do: take ds3 to tennis pick up dd2 daily chores clean get ds2 on some sort of schedule pick up ds3 quick lunch and rest practice #2 at faraway pool random errands during practice home judo run for me Have a great day! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MomtoCandJ Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) Good morning - coffee- in progress - morning walk with dd2 (new thing we started today and will add dd1 after Friday)- done - laundry- load in washer and dryer - pet care- filled food and water dishes, scooped box - clean girls' room- in progress - tidy house - dishes- in dishwasher - find new spot for cat box (dh moved it to girls' closet, I don't like it there)- done (I cleaned out my craft corner and put it there) - dinner- in crockpot - work - find pattern to make bed organizers for the girls - baths/showers - bedtime routine - anything else I get done- e-mailed pics of dd1's homework that she left on the kitchen table to her teacher, went to store to buy Chip a new collar, he broke the other one. talked to work regarding a client that complained that I looked at my phone while in her home (I don't wear a watch because I often have my hands in water (and other things) and so that's the only way I have to tell time because all the clocks in that home have a different time), she requested that I no longer work in her home, fine by me, she's rather fussy and doesn't tell you how she wants things done until after you are done and "it's all wrong" so then she expects you to do it all over again.

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 garbage and recycling have been taken out kitchen is sparkling. I'm actually enjoying housework for once. It's nice to have some time to get these things done. I'm not sure when/ if I will get the call on the CT scan (and if I don't hear by early afternoon I might make a phone inquiry just to make sure it hasn't dropped by the wayside) but I want to get certain things out of the way. Now to work some more on laundry 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Whew, I finally got the first report out. Couple minutes after 5pm their time - hopefully they haven't already run out the door. They are traveling this weekend and wanted to review it en route .... Now I will take a little break before I get back to it. Need to pick up the kids at 6pm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Got the kids. They wanted to go somewhere for dinner, and I figured might as well skip the mess at home, so we had Chipotle. Back home I told them to clean up their mess (school crap mostly) all around the house, take it upstairs, clean their rooms, and then help fold & put away the laundry. One kid zipped through hers, then got bribed to help the other. It is both impressive and scary how fast a kid's whole messy room can be piled on top of her bed. :p Well anyway, the maids can almost find the floor when they come tomorrow. I finished all the laundry / put it away, cleaned up some more, and finished our read-aloud The Wheel On the School (which took up like 5 months with all the stops and starts). Put the kids to bed and was then informed that our client wants the complete draft of our big-ass report to circulate to his colleagues tomorrow morning. Awesome. I still have some significant writing to do before I even have a "first draft." Plus I promised the other client the rest of their report tomorrow. Plus I have an important conference call in the morning. I really need to remember how to do "power naps." I'm not too old for power naps, am I?
