Mommyof1 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 DH last day off till next week. Some school with DD. Daddy daughter game time. It was short DD didn't want to follow the rules of any of the games offered. She asked for puzzles then refused to do them. Explained Daddy won't be able to do these things again till next week and that she will regret this time missed. So she went back and is trying to work with Dad on the puzzles.

ScoutTN Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Well, my day and possibly the whole next week are upside down because a power window in my van is broken. The glass is not broken; the motor is broken and the window is all the way down. At least it is the passenger side and not my side. Next up: Redo meal planning and budget to accomodate car repair expense Grocery Got food for through the weekend, in case my car is in the shop. Post office Tomorrow! Make dinner - chx stir fry Ds to/from pool party tonight In Dh's car or he is taking Ds. Not driving my car. Realistically, this is all that will happen today. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dh is off for two months in the summer since he is a school teacher. I enjoy it most days, but there are days it would be nice to have fewer people in the house. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Hi guys! It's actually Friday here in Iceland already, but it's weird because it has never gotten dark the whole time we've been here. My sleep is all wonky because it never really feels like night. I missed checking in with you guys. I hope everyone is having a good week. I've been doing as little work as I can get away with, though I have had some each day. Still nothing like most of my "vacations." Iceland is pretty awesome as far as wonders of nature. Mountains, ocean, glaciers, geysers, waterfalls, volcanoes ... and various odd results of their activity ... wildlife ... and the folks are pretty nice too. The hotels etc. are very clean and comfortable. Some of the roads are pretty hard to travel, and it's not fun when you mix rain, cold, and wind, but hey ... it's Iceland. Today, we got up, fought over who should get ready first, went to breakfast, got some work out, packed, and drove from the southeast to somewhere northeast. The first half of the day was gorgeous. The second half was weird - many miles of just black rock, almost no living things (plus it was raining); then we drove an extremely bumpy unpaved road to [supposedly] the biggest waterfall in Europe. The plan was to hike a couple kilometers to the falls, but when we got to the parking spot, it was so cold, windy, and rainy that it was all we could do to take a few photos and clamber back into the car. Then we stopped off to see some geysers, which left us all smelling like sulfur. We figured we'd wash up at the hotel (which was another drama since our original hotel was closed but I'll spare you the details), but the hotel water is basically sulfur water, so sulfur smell is our fate for now. No biggie. So we all had a shower and should be sleeping ... but aren't because it doesn't seem like night. ? Pretty much every day is like this as we drive around the country counter-clockwise. Some days we get more exercise, some less. Most days we eat way too much junk food. Tomorrow I think we'll take the kids to ride Iceland ponies - something my kid really wants to do. We could go whale watching instead - which I'd enjoy more - but I figure we could do that at another time/place. Either way, I just hope it doesn't rain. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Pictures, SKL?! Done: Borrowed mom's car and made a plan for getting mine to the shop tomorrow morning. Looked up info on the repair, so we know ballpark what to expect. Kids watched a movie because the pool party was rained/thundered out. Dinner cooked, enjoyed and cleaned up. To do: Read some school stuff and then a novel. Laundry, always. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am totally green with envy that you're going to ride Icelandic horses! I agree with Scout that we need photos.? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
