Selkie Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Good morning! I promised dd I would take her into town to do some shopping today. She is excited about it - and I am not excited at all. :tongue_smilie: It's a touristy resort town that is packed with crowds this time of year and finding a parking spot takes forever. I'm looking forward to coming back home and lounging around and being a hermit for the rest of the weekend. :) •get horse chores done •go shopping •tidy up house •maybe put up some Christmas lights outside and hang wreaths •The kids want to put up our Christmas tree, but I'm not sure how that is going to work with two naughty puppies in the house. We might have to put a fence around it. •maybe ride horses •read and relax •dinner: leftovers 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Good morning! I survived yesterday though this morning I woke up thinking I really, really would like to run away. But where? Dd2 got a late email last night adding a morning practice-dh volunteered to take her. To do: daily and weekly chores (since few have been done this week) dh wants to talk about Christmas (which is..ugh..as he says things and leaves it all up to me to do) dh wants to review expenses for this past year (which is no fun as this has been the worst year ever) I don't know what else will get done today Pick up dd2 from second practice tonight Have a great day! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyoffive Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I was going to have the kids go to morning swim practice, but we got home late and they slept in a bit. Go get the tree? Do a bit of shopping. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) Not sure what goes on my list today. No cooking! No Christmas decorating! I enjoy Thanksgiving and try to keep the weekend restful. Advent begins next Sunday, 12/3, and I will be ready for it then. ;) Right now I am enjoying coffee and pie. Sometime mid-day, I need to go to my mom's and switch out the kids. Take ds and bring dd home. I think I will do some school prep/planning this morning. Maybe a nice walk with the dog in the early afternoon? It is a crisp, sunny day here. Edited November 24, 2017 by ScoutTN 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 The kids and I did a little shopping and went out to lunch. Now I'm waiting in the Walmart parking lot while ds19 ran in to get something. No way am I setting foot in that madhouse today! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz CA Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Feeling tired after yesterday's 6 hour roundtrip. This type of stuff never used to bother me - getting old. Need to get some work done from home today but I am unmotivated. On the bright side, I already took a nice long walk outside - no more excuses now. I have to knuckle down. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandra Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Light pruning and tidying (which should have been done months ago) Put twigs and branches in plastic bags, as this is how sanitation crews want them Rake leaves Drag tarps of leaves to curb Tomorrow: try to remember how leaf blower starts, then use it 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 kitchen - emptied dishwasher and put stuff away. Put dirty stuff in the dishwasher but I still don't have enough to run it. Laundry - put a load in the washing machine Did the above while talking to my eldest sister because I'm in a lot of pain and needed distracting. Paperwork (of sorts) - dumped my recipe box on the ground and had to reorganize it and put it all back in there in the correct categories. Made list of what I needed for the empanadas.. After lunch, went to the grocery store. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 (((Jean))) Hope the pain lessens soon. I got all my horse chores done early (yay!), cleaned the kitchen, and am working on laundry. Still need to feed the dogs and then I'm looking forward to a relaxing evening. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 (edited) I hope you feel better soon, Jean! We had leftover turkey and sides for dinner. With about 12 servings eaten, I froze 4lbs of leftover meat and started one of three bags of bones in the crockpot for stock. Turkey is efficient. Cook once, eat many times. I did lots of school prep today and dh sid tons of yardwork. Time to watch a movie with dd. Edited November 25, 2017 by ScoutTN 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
