since I don't have a cleaner anymore I am struggling to find a new routine to get the whole house cleaned. I was going fine until the school year proper started up.  :huh:

today I did manage to get done

 

most of the dusting 

 

both bathrooms cleaned

 

main living areas vacuumed

 

1 load of laundry 

 

all of twins school work 

 

all of ds14 school work 

 

list  books I am no longer wanting on a Aus homeschooling site

 

Hmm I got more done than I thought, especially as we had no electricity for most of the day.

Good morning!  Today there is a big Falcon Heavy launch out of Cape Canaveral that DS13 is obsessed about.  We have seen a launch in person before, but hope we can see this one from across the state (where we live).  I'm trying to figure out best viewing areas in our location.  I'm also desperately trying to manage DS13's expectations about this....he has built it up in his mind that he will be able to see it clearly and I'm pretty sure conditions have to be perfect to see anything.  Ugh.  Still toying with the idea of splitting the difference and driving to Orlando to see if we have better luck there.

 

-coffee

-roof guys here to install new flat roof over part of our pool cage (very noisy and the dog is petrified)

-get DS16 off to school

-school with DS13 (we doubled up on several subjects yesterday to be able to finish early and go see launch)

-laundry DONE:  0

-leave for local launch site around 12:30 and sit around being bored out of my skull (launch window opens at 1:30)

-DS16 school baseball at 6:30

-dinner (coconut lime chicken and cauliflower rice)

 

ETA:  driving to top level of a parking garage at Orlando airport to see what we can see.  Leaving at 10:30 am.  I'd best get mom of the year for this.  Apparently traffic is already a disaster as of 8 am on the Space Coast.

Already done:  called plumber - dishwasher started leaking last night.  I think the sink is backed up somehow.  Flood in basement.  Boo hoo!

 

Get someone else to drive dd to her various classes today while I wait for plumber

 

Plan for co-op classes - lots to do there

 

Clean something (maybe master bathroom?)

 

Make dinner - perhaps salmon hash (canned salmon potatoes and other foods in hash).

 

Take dd to youth group tonight.

Good Morning,

 

DH off today and is sleeping in.

 

DD5 is having breakfast and watching tv.

 

I'm trying to decide what to do today. It's cold and suppose to snow. Can't go to open gym today. Which means no workout for me or the little one. Going to have to do some at home, I guess.

 

I can hardly wait for spring. Already have plans and activities set up.

 

Will do school with DD

 

Play board and card games

 

Arts and crafts with Dad

 

Hopefully organize DD bedroom and donate some of her things. So many toys.

My sympathies to those with broken keyboards and dishwashers!

 

Yesterday did not go as planned. I will put off trip to Goodwill until I have even more bags -- it is far away and not hear anything I want to do. But when I was decluttering basement, a happy moment. You have to be a non Kondo person to understand. The complete set of every color of poster paint that I decided to throw out at last had dried up!! What an easy decluttering decision! I used this as inspiration yesterday to clear out more and plan to continue today. I enjoy watching the garbage truck guys throw my heap of black plastic bags into their truck. This isn't the best thing in my day, LOL, but it is still nice.

 

Check email. Some colleges are wanting more financial forms. Every college has different requirements. Not rocket science, but requires some care.

 

ETA

Set aside some time to find out why my health insurance shows premium as past due when it has been paid, confirmation number, email of confirmation number, and record of payment with credit card company. If I cannot get a human to respond, I suppose I will write a letter and go to post office to send it certified.

 

Update

I reached a HUMAN at my insurerance company. They have a record of my payment, thank goodness. The glitch is that the consumer website has not been updated to reflect the *December* payment.

Good morning! Fairly busy day here. Dd2 is getting rested and very excited for state. She has been interviewed and filmed for our local paper and city TV station. She will have to swim out of her mind to win an event, but she is managing expectations well and has decided to enjoy the ride. I am happy to see her relaxed and excited about swimming. It's only a couple of times a year  :laugh:

 

To do:

dd2 to school-done

boys up and working

ds3 dr. appointment

ds2 to cc

grocery store (very low on staples)

home to chores and more school

ds3 to tennis

pick up dd2 straight to hs state team pictures

dd2 to club practice

ds2 to judo

 

Have a great day!

Ds is still asleep! He woke earlier when Dd and Dh made noise getting up and out. Not going to be a real school day here for him, but  I am happy for him to sleep. Life has been stressful and busy here lately and he is growing like crazy. 

 

Working on my resume. Yikes! Haven't done that for 20 years. Need it to apply for some tutoring jobs. 

 

Lots of deskwork done this morning! Not fun, but feels so good to have it done.
