Jean in Newcastle Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Probably up in the middle of the night with dd to transmit data on cardiac event monitor. (Obviously I can't predict this 100% but since it has been almost nightly, it's a fairly safe assumption. I will be thrilled if I am wrong.) Drive ds to college and work again. (Sigh.) school food of some sort. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 Woke up with a shout and huge surge of adrenaline when woken up by Dd. Now it's been over an hour and I can't get back to sleep. Maybe I will try reading. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Ugh. Just realized that the kids have Model UN late this afternoon and then ds has a golf lesson at the same time as dd's violin lesson, so the evening will be more hectic than I anticipated. One kid is being a grouch and our internet is not working right again, despite supposedly being fixed by two repair guys the other day. It's now actually worse than it was before they "fixed" it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) A bit of a crazy morning. I let the kids go to bed after Sky Zone last night, because I felt that studying science on a birthday night was just not right (for them or for me). As I mentioned yesterday, this test was a surprise; otherwise we would have worked on it earlier. So this morning, I got them up early to study. I was also planning to check over one daughter's "corrected" math for her. Well she still did not understand the assignment and did not check her answers with a calculator. Also I could hardly read her writing to explain what went wrong. Not a pretty sight. There was no finishing in time for the school bus. I also needed to take out the garbage and was supposed to drive some people to the airport. Those people weren't ready when they said they would be. Plus my kids were disorganized. Ended up not being able to drive the airport people (they drove themselves and parked at the airport). I felt like a failure, but then I thought, look at all I did accomplish before 9am. :p Kids up & ready early to study. Help kid with her math. Take out the garbage. Drive kids to school. Send FedEx package for work. Clean the kitchen, bathrooms and some clutter. Cleaned out and updated my wallet. A little reading. Catch up on social media / emails etc. To do: Work. I have some goals that are hopefully not too lofty for today. :) Get that dang personal tax stuff done already. (Mine and a friend's.) Pay bills. Fill out forms for my kid's medical appointment tomorrow. Scout newsletter. Sign up for parent-teacher conferences. Sign kids up for some stuff - 5ks, AHG pen pals, library book club meetings .... Maybe I could play piano a tiny bit. Kids to math tutor - probably eat on the way. Hopefully walk while the kids do their math. 1 kid to gymnastics. Work in the car. Kid will want to set up her new computer (no school tomorrow). Read-aloud. Kids to bed. Work. Try to finish chapter in my current boring personal reading. Whatever I'm forgetting.

SKL Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Well damn, I just found out I made a stupid mistake that is now known by all parties to a transaction (at least 4 companies). Gotta love when that happens. Should be an easy fix, but it is stupid and embarrassing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
