Ah, I didn't get nearly as much done as I wanted, and I'm too tired to deal with more of school or to make a pie. Laundry and dinner left before I call it quits.

SKL Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Got the kids up on time. My daughter's hair. Lord save both of us. Cleaned the kitchen. Caught up on emails, etc. Should be working. Need to do some exercise and personal things so I can feel like a human and be productive. Make an appointment for kid's chiro visit tomorrow. Bills. Calendar. Tonight, kids coming home on the bus, then only TaeKwonDo (the driver will take them). I decided they have to do TKD 4 days this week to hopefully catch up for the Saturday belt test. Kids' work. Kids to bed. Work. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I thought I coined a new word: "dramedy" - but when I looked it up on the internet, apparently it was already a word. So today I had some "dramedy" with one of my clients. As in, they are freaking out for a reason that is a little bit funny. Breathe! It's gonna be ok. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Woo hoo, new fridge is in and it's so nice and clean and roomy. Now, if I can just get my family to keep it that way instead of filling it up with 17 half eaten jars of salsa and pickles... 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 human care done pet care done medical care done school done Everyone told me that being Camp Director would not be very busy. Everyone was wrong. Spent another hour or so that I wasn't expecting on camp business today. Not that I'm complaining. I'm actually getting some good information that I need. But I have to allocate an other half hour or so to doing some more camp business this afternoon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 Willy Nilly. I kind of don't know what to do next. I have tons to do. But what NEXT? OK - I'm going to call the insurance company. That might be a lesson in frustration but I guess I can't put it off any longer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 The kids have a ridiculous amount of homework today, after not having any over their 4 day weekend. This is just crazy. Normally my eldest has a gymnastics class that takes her away from homework for 2.5 hours, but today I decided that both kids need to go to TKD and work on their form instead. They did not like this, but oh well. Should have worked harder on it all month. I made both girls empty out their backpacks and I went through and sorted out the garbage, papers Mom keeps, papers to be returned, junk to keep home (one kid had a pile of LOL Surprise Doll pieces and about 8 story books in her bag), and stuff to keep in the bag for ongoing review etc. I told my youngest she needs to get organized, and she said, "what does organized mean?" Really?? Just don't. I also laid out some new rules, effective until further notice: 1) Every day before bed, some adult in the house gets a comb through youngest's hair and it gets braided. 2) Every school morning, starting at 7:15 I stand in their doorways and nag continually until they are headed down for breakfast. The first I don't mind doing. The 2nd is a bigger punishment to me than to them. But I am too sick of the last minute crap every morning. Waking them up early makes no difference, it just gives them more time to play around. After the kids get home, they have to finish their homework in 2 hours, or I will have to follow through on no activities tomorrow. No activities tomorrow would be a punishment for one kid and a reward for the other. I also need to do some laundry, which I forgot to include in the list above. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
