Pink and Green Mom Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) Good morning. We start school today with youngest. It will be a pretty light day as writing doesn't start for another month (WTMA), and co-op subjects start Wednesday. I will be treated to a hearty chorus of "no faaaaaair" because big brother's school doesn't start until next week. Never mind that youngest is done a full month before oldest. -coffee -workout (plyo HiiT and abs) -shower -laundry -get cleaned out school room books out to recycling, trash, or car for donating -post office with Stitch Fix returns and homeschool letter to county -library -school with youngest -summer work with oldest -dinner (shrimp of some type) -be Whole30 compliant -start pre-reading Scarlet Pimpernel for youngest's literature class ETA: as expected, DS2 is in "turtle swimming through peanut butter" speed. And I "only" had to raise my voice three times. Edited August 7, 2017 by Pink and Green Mom 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 So they are resurfacing my road, and the beep beep grr grr is gonna make me crazy. I need to just get used to it. This is supposed to take about 2 months. After that they are putting in a new sewer pipe on my property (to serve the folks up the hill). Lucky me! Woke early to try to finish some work ... did not finish. Kids up & ready for camp. Drove 1 kid to sleep-away theater camp. Accomplishment of the day: kid passed the lice screening! Yay! Took a nap, which is very bad but oh well. Supposed to be done with this stupid project and a lot of other things. Stressing out. Have a conference call in 15 minutes, ugh, ugh ugh ugh UGH! Eventually kid 2 will be home from day camp and has been promised some one-on-one time with me. More work. Kid to bed. More work. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie4b Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) First day home after a long vacation with extended family. It's kind of a re-entry day, but I also made a decision while on vacation that I really didn't want to waste any more of my life looking for things, so I need to do some flylady type reboot. Today, I've taken ds to an appt and to get shoes. The rest of the day is reboot. Do dirty laundry from trip: 2-3 loads---whatever I can get done Ds's load in drier; 1st load into washer Finish emptying car (I was exhausted last night when we got back) Emptied my two suitcases 1/2 way down unpacking car Banking (I've been putting this off) Clear off living room coffee table Pick up rest of living room Exercise Make dinner Edited August 7, 2017 by Laurie4b 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 human care done "good enough". pet care done including dealing with a sick cat who is going on day 3 of no eating. No amount of warming up his food or trying to entice him with a bite or two is working. Vet wanted to try out a new free (for now) chat visit with me. It was extremely frustrating because there was a huge (like ten minutes) delay between when one of us would send a text and when it would finally pop up on the other person's phone or laptop. So ended up finishing up talking on the telephone. End result - he wants to see Neko tomorrow morning. Unless he magically gets better by then. paid bills. Did you know that there is a Waldorf Astoria in Boca Raton FL? Neither did we. Until we got the credit card bill for $2000 worth of hotel stay there. The absolutely stupid thing is that the credit card fraud alert knew that dh wasn't there because they called to check on some small purchases made at a pharmacy there during the same time period and he told them that he hadn't traveled out of state, let alone gone to Florida. So why didn't they flag and stop the hotel bill? Spent time talking to the credit card company. Cleaned the kitchen medical care done 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in OK Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Oh Jean..I hope they get that cleared up for you asap!!! I was MIA this weekend because we had three of our four visiting their Grandma. It was my oldest daughter's first solo road trip. :w00t: Our 17yo had to work most of the weekend so it was just hubby and I. We spent most of our time watching Netflix in the living room since when the kids are home, we don't/can't (not kid appropriate shows ;)). We start our school year a week from today. :thumbup: Trying to get it in gear today. - Balance checkbook- Grocery errands- Make salsa, prep veggies for the week - Dinner 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Jean, so sorry! Good afternoon! I'm not sure when I was on here last because the last few days were busy. I hope you all are well! We are in the throws of a new vehicle purchase and are going to test drive 3 more tonight. We are trying to get a crossover. We had talked about a car, but we already have a car and would love something with more room for cargo if we needed it. We sold dh's car, and dd goes back to school August 20th, so we only have until the 19th to get something. I think we can do it this week, though. Ds still has math to do, but we'll do it tonight after we're back from shopping. My house is a bit of a mess, so I need to do something about it, too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
