Tsuga Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 My bullet journal took up five pages today. ? Most things were not physically demanding though but my brain is dead. Tomorrow: * A bunch of work loose ends * laundry for kids * more sports * follow up with job interviews * sweep * WE HAVE TO MAKE THE BLUE APRON DINNER WE BOUGHT BECAUSE IT HAS MEAT AND WE DO NOT WASTE MEAT. I AM TACKLING THIS TASK!!! * Violin practice, Language practice * volunteer write up * other volunteer write up Ugh. I don't know if this is encouraging, Jean. I kind of try to push through for as many hours as possible with message boards in between and that gets me through. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Tsuga, I've been toying with the idea of a bullet journal and actually started one in the past. I didn't stick with it, but I think I was trying to be too decorative with it. I'm not naturally an artsy person. Do you have favorite resources for ideas? 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

readinmom Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Morning, all! Thanks for the birthday wishes yesterday! Overall, it was a good day until ds's grades were posted late last night. He did not do well in one class, not because it was difficult, but because he failed to turn in assignments. I am livid, hurt, disappointed, all the emotions that go with it. Anyways... Done: fridge, freezer, and cupboards cleaned out...no more junk food in the house trash cans out to the curb and plants watered kitchen cleaned coffee in progress To do: Place Amazon order Yoga Post office to mail bills Buy new dishwasher (don't want to but can't handle having to rewash everything) Work on planner, student notebook ideas for 1st semester Have a great day! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink and Green Mom Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Readinmom, your DS sounds like my DS17. I get it. And then I get so angry at myself for being so invested in his grades, moreso than him the overwhelming majority of the time. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Second day of summer camp / me working at the office. Today I am sitting at an actual desk - but it's next to the door and I have to interact with every person who walks in. I may switch back to my old corner after today. Yesterday I was fried. I did get some important work out, but I went to bed with some things still not done. Still today one of them is not done. Hoping for some good focus today. I have dozens of "work" things that I need to work on, but most of them are not technically overdue .... It's just that I need to prioritize and coordinate super well to get everything done by the official June deadlines. I did make a couple loads of laundry happen overnight. I have one more I want to do tonight, and to put away everything. I should take out the garbage tonight rather than worry about it in the morning. After making the kids switch out the pet bedding. Also need to give the kids a lesson in sweeping. Would love to do some exercise, but I don't know when that's likely to happen. Maybe in the evening. Calendar - it's really time to figure out the details of the summer. I'm good for the daytime for the next two weeks (the camps have aftercare), but we need to have some structure to the evenings or things won't happen. We have gotten a good start on vision therapy homework, but that's about it. I want to work in brain games, scout badge work, read-alouds, TKD & music practice, volunteer work, and a few other things. (Worked in between their evening sports / lessons.) On the positive side, I've been better about making the kids pick up after themselves, "act right," and get to bed reasonably on time. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlsdMama Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 We (I love these kids) took apart FIVE beds yesterday and put them all back together in different rooms. Now I need to wash sheets! Girls have play tryouts - dropped them off. Hit Wal-Mart and Lowe's - picked two hydrangeas ($10 each) and four rhododendrons ($0.90 each) and am headed out to PLANT THEM! Move some hostas - they love stress, right? Mulch the area Pick up girls Help DH with some of his homework Dishes LOTS of laundry and get it on the line. Move the goats (because if you buy them without a fence, then you have to use a makeshift goat tractor) 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink and Green Mom Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 My workout was 1 hour and 40 minutes - now I know why I never do this particular workout. Everything hurts and I'm dying.... still need to get at least one more load of laundry done, and do some clean up/throw out projects in between. And my son just brought me a pair of baseball pants that have more mud and red clay ground into them than they do white fabric. I think at this point it is better to just get new pants. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 My last load of laundry is in the washer. Kitchen is clean. I got a tiny bit of office work done. Discovered that the deadline for the Amex early pay discount was yesterday, not today. Oops. The horse vet has been here twice today. He stopped out first thing this morning to check Nik, who seemed much improved and had a normal temp. Then around noon, Nik started feeling cruddy so I took his temp and it was up high again. The vet came back out to give him a couple more injections. He said that if it is Potomac Horse Fever, as he believes it is, Nik will probably have 3-4 days of a cyclical fever that goes up and down throughout the day. (I could really use a boring, humdrum, non-eventful day right about now.?) Now I need to tackle some cleaning before it's time to start dinner. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I took a short nap, and was woken with "Mom, I need new shoes." A hole in the sole renders them unplayable. ds3 is now going through 1 pair a month. At least he is wearing them out, not outgrowing them. Off to get shoes, then tackle kitchen (though I might make ds3 do it-as partial payment). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Libby is a lot skinnier now. I cut enough fur off of her to make a large chihuahua. Or maybe a french bulldog. (I still have to clip Libby. But I will need help doing that part because Libby can't stand long enough without suddenly collapsing. I managed to get through the scissors cut without taking her to the doggie ER (like last time, sigh.). I don't want to hurt her while clipping. ) lunch pharmacy We went to two pet stores. Juliet piddled at each store. #tooexciting #thepatboneisconnectedtothepiddlebone (We did buy dog food but I found the pet nail dremel much cheaper online so we ended up ordering it.) Gassed up the car. Grocery store - got ingredients for tonight's dinner (pan roasted chicken and veggies) Dd to babysitting rebooted dishwasher took out recycling put away groceries 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Not too bad for a day when I had to work at the office ... Got the kids to camp on time, picked them up on time. Finished audiobook My Friend Flicka and started The Prince and the Pauper. Got kid 1 to horse riding. Did a puzzle and vision therapy with kid 2, then went grocery shopping with kid 1. Cleaned out car (clutter). Washed dishes. (We had run out of dish soap so there was a backlog.) Kids changed out pet bedding & swept up the mess. (Mom presided / nagged.) Took out the garbage except for the garage. Some general picking up. Dealt with the mess a raccoon made because I didn't get the garbage all the way to the can fast enough. Washed 2 loads of laundry & folded / hung 3. Started new read-aloud: "Spy School." Kids demanded 2nd chapter, so I guess it's good. Whatever I'm forgetting. Now I should be working, but I think I will go to sleep and try to wake up early. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
