Selkie Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Good morning! Still sick and totally exhausted. I was hoping ds19 would be feeling well enough to do my horse chores for me, but he's not, so I'll have to drag my sorry butt out there and make sure everyone is fed and watered (dh and ds17 aren't horse people and don't know the first thing about how to do chores, and it's a big job for dd15 to do alone). Other than that, rest is my main priority today. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readinmom Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Selkie, feel better soon! Morning, all! Jury duty today...and it's raining. That should make for some interesting conditions.

Alessandra Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Selkie, dragging around when you are exhausted is horrible. I hope you'll feel better sooner rather than later. I love horses! If I didn't live halfway across the country, I'd jump at the chance to help. I could (probably) groom a calm horse without causing serious damage, and I'm pretty sure I could handle a wheelbarrow of soiled bedding. But I'm in an area where getting on a horse for half an hour or so costs about $70 (lessons). I believe I fainted when I saw boarding fees at a local stable, so I can't tell you those. My kids love riding, but time and $$$ have limited it. Dd did therapeutic horseback riding in early elementary -- many happy memories. Now her favorite horse is a veritable Empire State Building at 18 hands, big, but super steady, deliberate, no extra moves. How did I get on to this? To do today. Everyone has big lists, mine are always tiny. I do take care of the usual dishes and laundry, but it's more an automatic thing than a task. I've been going through extra stuff in basement (isn't this fun?). Now I have to call Vietnam Vets or someone, because our local Goodwill will not take any toys. Yesterday I opened a box full of ds's elementary school woodworking projects. How many heart shaped footstools can one family use? We need our own museum of childhood for those, Scout basketry projects, Pinewood Derby cars, and so on. Dinner: sautéed scallops, perhaps a first course of leeks vinaigrette (with capers, cornichons and quails eggs). Ulterior motive: have both kids actually IN the kitchen when scallops are done. They are so $$ that I don't want them getting cold while I beg Ds to come to dinner. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteryJen Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I hope you start to feel better Selkie! And your son, too! I have a fairly light day today. Good thing too, as the swim banquet was fun and ran late. Tonight will be late as well, with judo and the swim team meeting the mayor. Hopefully, the high profile the team received from the local media can translate into moving already existing pool plans onto the agenda for this next year. To do: edit paper with ds2-done start work with ds3 ds2 to cc dog to vet for post dental work check home to a few chores/laundry more school with ds2 dd2 pick up club practice/ds3 has a tennis "date" ds2 to judo Have a great day! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I get the bad mom award today. I made my kid walk to the bus stop with a sore ankle. She ended up having to "run" (i.e. hobble fast) and get yelled at by the bus driver because she putzed too long. Now she's back from school, still limping (but less), and I sent her of to go horse riding (she didn't want to skip it). I told her it's up to her to stop if she needs to stop. I hope she has the sense to take it easy. I blabbed on the phone with my sister in the morning, then putzed on the internet, then took a nap. Really need to get some work out! I have a headache, probably from waiting too long before drinking my 2nd cup of coffee. :/ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
