Mommyof1 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I didn't either. I hope Jean is okay. DH is off today and is currently sleeping. School with DD Playing some board games. We've been up for hours. She already had cartoons and breakfast too. It's Daddy Daughter Day! They will be shopping for fireworks for the 4th. Picking up her prizes for summer reading. Lunch then the pool While they are gone I will be cleaning and doing laundry. Maybe take a nap. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I couldn't figure out why the forum didn't have me marked as having participated in this thread! I just thought I had started one before bed but hadn't. ? Scurry around like a mad woman trying to clean a little bit before one of my brothers and his family arrive this morning. (They called not too long before bed to ask if they could stop by so that was another reason I completely forgot to start this thread). So far: human care done including a shower so that I could look "company ready". (Well, I'm in yoga pants and t-shirt so not fancy company ready.) pet care done medical care done Now. . . time to put on some energetic music and start tidying up! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Just got back from my dr. appt., lunch, and errands. Dr. appt. went well - my weight and blood pressure are both down significantly from last year. Woo hoo, all those veggies I've been eating are paying off! Now to tackle my messy kitchen, laundry pile, and desk. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Visitors are gone. Now to mess the house up again! (Not totally true but I do have to get some stuff that I quickly stored in the bedroom out.) We had a nice visit and lunch together. Having visitors is fun but also a bit of a hurdle for me. I really like this brother, sister in law and grown nephew. And I got to see pictures of their newest grandbaby. Oh, and dh happened to be working from home today so he was able to join us for lunch, which was really really nice. OK - first thing on my list: reboot dishwasher a second time 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Kitchen is clean. Started a new load of laundry and folded a couple baskets of clean clothes. Sorted through the mail & took messages off voicemail. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Dishwasher is rebooted and all dishes etc. from our lunch with visitors have been taken care of. Dd is putting laundry in for me. Need to do some grading. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Good day here. Chores and laundry are done, dh is taking care of dinner (pasta carbonara, I think), and I checked a few little things off my list. Great job with the Dr, Selkie! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Skipped grading to take Juliet on a puppy playdate instead. Cleaned out science experiments of the unintended kind from the fridge. Dinner is a mish-mash of (non science experiment) leftovers. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Well no school prep or skit practice done here today because I spent the whole day driving. But Dh worked at home, kids had fun with friends and got exercise, and we invited a neighbor to join us for a late supper. It takes a village to eat all the CSA veggies! Time for cup of tea and my book. Reading Wendell Berry's Jayber Crow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
