Pink and Green Mom Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I have decluttered all of our hurricane food (toss expired, donate what we will never in a million years eat), and my pantry. I am halfway through cleaning the inside and outside of all the cabinets. The only other thing I will do today is declutter the liquor cabinet ? 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Yesterday was a great productive day. Today not so much (so far). [Just a quick share - my youngest started her first p. yesterday and she was NOT happy about it! She hollered "NOOOO!" When my other kid got hers, her reaction was "yay!" I have been instructed NOT to laugh about any of it. So I am not making light of any of it. ? We will live through it. ? Up until 2am doing work - got a few deadline items out. Up at 5am because kid wanted to finish homework. Kid woke me up a couple more times to help her with stuff. Remembered gym suit was in washer; dried it halfway and stuffed it into kid's bag slightly damp! Drove kids to Power of the Pen meeting. Got a few things out for work. Napped. More work. Stole and ate a bunch of my kids' Halloween candy. Caught up on social media & stuff. Made this post. To do: May nap some more. More work. Bills. Calendar. Kids' work (the only sport activity is after school basketball for 1 kid, and driver will bring her home). Read-aloud? Kids to bed. Work. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the "NOOOO!" camp and so was my dd (she got lucky and didn't get hers until she was almost 15). The book Are You There, God? It's Me Margaret was all the rage when I was a kid and I was always baffled by the girls in the book who wanted to get their periods. Like, why would you possibly be excited about having to deal with that??♀️ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 I took my car into the mechanic this morning I needed the oil changed - no biggie. But also - my windshield wipers were starting to only work on the very highest setting. And in this climate during our rainy season that is not good. So when I dropped it off, they tried the wipers and sure enough it wouldn't work. So they took it apart to see why it wouldn't work and couldn't figure out why. But suddenly it started working again - perfectly. ???? No one knows why. But I was only charged for the oil change so that bill was tons smaller than I expected!! So here's hoping that whatever gremlins were making the windshield wipers not work have been banished forever. Cuz that was our final diagnosis - gremlins. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Cinnamon came through her spay surgery ok. But now she won't have anything to do with Rusty. She cries at him and bares her teeth to tell him to get away. The rabbit rescue lady (who is doing convalescent care for us) and I disagree a bit on what this means. I think that it is due to her pain from surgery. She thinks that Cinnamon has unresolved issues with Rusty that require a rabbit apology from him. Who knows. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Hoping that I can get through a bunch of little things so that some of the pressure I'm feeling will go away. Dishwasher was rebooted and is running. Pans and knives were handwashed. Counters and microwave were wiped down. Now to work on laundry issues. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
