Selkie Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Good morning! school w/dd office work (absolutely have to clear up the pile on my desk today) post office & bank more meetings involving FIL's care ? (He made disastrous choices over the past 20 years and refused to plan for old age, and now we are left scrambling trying to clean up the mess. I keep promising my kids that I will never, ever put them in a bad situation like this.) dust and vacuum basement laundry - sheets and blankets dinner: veggie burgers 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I had a hard time waking up today again. But once I got up, I got a few things done. I think it helped that I got a bunch of domestic things done last night. Things piling up make it hard to focus on the next thing. I am still way behind on both work and personal stuff. Today is a work deadline so here's hoping I make mega progress. Finish laundry and pack kids' gym bags. Kids up and off to the school bus just on time. Work discussion. Cleaned kitchen, bathroom, and some clutter. Check work emails, news, social media. Coffee. Made this post. To do: More work. More coffee. Bills. Calendar. Some exercise??? Kid 2 home about 4 and then driver will take her to horse riding. Kid 1 has cheer meeting and basketball practice at school, then home for lots of homework and study. Kid 2 to go with auntie to buy other auntie's birthday cake / card(s). Various domestic duties. Kids to bed. Work. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteryJen Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Good morning! I am sorry about your ds17, Pink and Green- he will come around with love and time. I didn't do much yesterday-the dentist appointment was long and fairly wretched so I have a long list today. The house is teetering on the edge of becoming impossible-It is so small, it doesn't take much to look like a clutter explosion. coffee/paper school with ds3 (bio test today-he thinks he is prepared-he is not) check bank/bills email dmil chores, esp. kitchen write grocery store ds3 to tennis check in with dd2 figure out dinner pick up ds3 Have a great day! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyoffive Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Long day ahead. We will be out of the house from 11-9pm And my youngest is deep in the terrible 3s. Should be fun. Plus that one and the next one up are a little sick. School Leave for school field trip Eat Head over to dance 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 ds3 was barely adequate on his bio test. A re-do of the questions missed and a discussion of "when you don't know what is going to be on the test- you have to learn everything on the study guide." He grunted and disappeared into his room, with an emphatic shutting of the door. He came out about 20 minutes later and said- okay, that makes sense. Got to love freshman boys. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, I will be a bit more prepared than I would have otherwise been for that stage, because I have read here from parents who are ahead of me. Might not make it any easier, but less of a surprise, perhaps. Age 11 is a challenge right now! ?

ScoutTN Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) Ds has done school, eaten lunch and is carving his pumpkin. Fun to see the process. He aimed too high and chose a pattern too hard for him. Then when I said that I don't have time to help him, he happily drew a simple jack-o lantern face and is carving away. I am trying to help him by letting/making him do as much as possible independently. Next up: clean up the kitchen Dd's assignments for tomorrow copywork assignment for Ds prep for being out later this afternoon. ✅ Edited October 31, 2018 by ScoutTN 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink and Green Mom Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Moving through my list. I have decluttered my closet (wasn't ruthless enough, will need to do it again), and decluttered a huge bin of books. Clothes/shoes go to Goodwill tomorrow, books go to homeschool co-op for anyone who wants them. I should go clean or clean out something. However, I have to give myself a pep talk for my tutor student. I am wishing I hadn't agreed to do this. It is like having a third kid to shepard through school. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Talked to two college kids today- both have papers due, irritations with scheduling, all the fun things of being near-adults. Though dd1's first interview for law school went well- she was pleased. Cheeseburger sliders for dinner- late getting started due to the above phone calls and tennis pick up in the rain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
