Who's going to tackle Thursday with me?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys.  Only day 4 of "summer" and I'm fading.  I really don't get enough work done in the office so I mean to do more at home ... but then I'm too fried.  I got up early this morning - right now it's 5am and I'm still coffeeing up and trying to get my brain working.  I promised some things overnight (or sooner) and I now have about 2 hours to get it all done.  If I focus, I should be able to do it, but my brain really wants to go back to bed.  It's gonna be a long day.

  • Up at 4:something, coffeeing up.
  • Catch up on emails & such.
  • Send out some work.
  • Check on a couple bills.
  • Prepare package for kid to take to day camp to deal with her first period.
  • Pack kid's vision therapy stuff & forms.
  • Kids up, fed, & ready for camp.  Clean kitchen.  Pack my computer & lunch.  Quick shower.
  • If there's time, pack old train table in the car for employee's kid.  (Otherwise do this tomorrow.)
  • Drop kids at camp.
  • To the office, try to be productive.
  • Hand over train table if I managed to get it into the van.
  • Figure out vision therapy app I was supposed to download a week ago.
  • Fill out vision therapy forms.
  • Fill out camp forms for upcoming summer camps.
  • Pick up kids - about 4:15ish.
  • Probably swing by McDonalds
  • Kid 1 to horse riding.
  • Kid 2 to vision therapy.
  • Pick Kid 1 back up.
  • Some kid quality time in the evening - maybe a quick game.
  • Read-aloud.
  • Kids to bed.
  • Work.
  • Whatever I'm forgetting.

Done:

1 load laundry - washed my old kitty's blankies. Need to gather up some dirty laundry from the baskets upstairs.

Cleaned laundry room.

Swept basement.

Went over a few work things with dh.

Shoveled manure/cleaned stalls/tidied up paddocks for a couple hours.

Vet appt. went well. She is pleased with Nik's progress and glad we caught it so early. He has to stay off grass for several more days because there is a laminitis risk after running such a high fever. Everyone got their Potomac Fever vaccines. They usually don't get those until mid- to late July, but she wanted to give them now so that no one else gets sick (hopefully!).

Started to clip Libby and realized 

a.  I had the wrong guard on the clipper and now she is almost bald in those spots. (I stopped when I realized)  

B. She needed a bath

c. She needed combing because her fur is very dense in spots and the clippers can’t even get through the fur.

Dd washed her.

I combed her.

Then we let her escape. I wish that I could afford a groomer.

Scout, happy birthday to your dd!

We ate a late lunch that might just be our dinner. We can snack later if we get hungry again.

I'm not finding quite as much as I would like for a yard sale, but I'm going to stick out whatever I can find. 

I've been doing some planning for my physics class at co-op.
