DawnM Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 My only real focus over the next week and a half is to pack up as much of this house as is possible and get it to storage. I have a load in my SUV and was frustrated I couldn't get to the storage unit yesterday! I have also lined up two locations nearby for free boxes, so I will be doing that after dropping off the load......then I will be filling at least another SUV load up and taking it over. I have three large boxes of stuff to donate to our local missionary location if anyone can tell me WHERE the drop off is! I am waiting. DH has a load to take to the Habitat and a load to take to the dump, but not sure that will be done today. We will see. He is trying to get more for the dump before going over there, but I just want it OUT. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) Good morning! We had such a great Christmas yesterday. However, I have eaten way too much delicious food this past week and feel like crud. It's back to kale and blueberries for me today! a little bit of office work (pay credit card bills & health insurance, get bank deposits ready) get a couple Zappos returns ready go to bank, post office, and UPS Store (or maybe have a kid do it) make salad dressing some barn chores & work with horses (excited to try out our new riding arena) look at my Chewy autoship order tidy up main floor finish up the book I'm reading (The Good, Good Pig - I have always wanted a pet pig and this book isn't helping matters 🙂) dinner: If I'm feeling ambitious, I'm going to try a new lasagna recipe - but might go with something easier like cabbage fried rice or creamy southwestern soup.

ScoutTN Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) Today is still vacation, so a leisurely pace to our day, but I do have things to do. Dh had to go to work. Get milk. Get dinner items and some fruit at the grocery. Organize school shelves, especially mine. Filing! Read Play games or do projects with kids, esp Ds. Vacation is hard on my super-extroverted, high-energy boy, when all the rest of us just want to chill, read, and be quiet by ourselves. Watch a movie tonight? Dinner is chx fajitas. Back to low carb for me and dh! Edited December 26, 2018 by ScoutTN 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Good morning! We had a very nice Christmas, very relaxing and fun. Today is the last day dd1 is home (can't believe that she has only been home for 7 days), so she has a bunch of errands and things to do. The boys are home for at least another week. Dh will be working from home most of the week, I think. coffee/paper unpack new mixer (sent on a warranty claim) and repack old one library- if it is open general pick up/clean up new crochet project other goofing around dinner all together Have a great day! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessamae Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Hello! Christmas was nice. I was at home on call from the hospital for the entire night so I was able to just snuggle and spend extra time with ds1 who was feeling a bit lonely. He misses me the most when I work long stretches. I do work tonight, but I am preceptor for a great nurse tonight as well as being charge nurse. It should be a good night. Since I planned on sleeping all day I really don’t have much on the to do list and I’m not going to add any either! So today, I’m going to make an easy lunch and then relax with the kids. I’ll try to take a nap before work as well. Three days off in a row after this. I’m looking forward to it! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readinmom Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Morning, all! It was a great Christmas here, as well. Morning coffee, donuts, presents at our house; brunch and presents with my mom; we went and saw Homes and Watson in the late afternoon. So, back to business today: start moving master closet items to new house go through pots and pans, baking dishes and donate or move lots of coffee throughout the day quiche with leftovers for dinner help dh pack up some essentials for the week attempts to spend 1st night in the new house Have a great day! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 Second bad night in a row but animals don’t care. They got me up anyway. I wasn’t feeling well yesterday but still had a wonderful Christmas partly because I gave myself permission not to push myself. But today it is back to pushing (which I have to do to keep from sliding rather quickly back into semi-invalid status.) 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink and Green Mom Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) Good morning/afternoon! Christmas was nice yesterday. We have a second Christmas at my parents house - same people as yesterday (us, my parents, my sister and her husband and 11 year old) but with the addition of my aunt and uncle. Not exactly sure why we are doing this again... Now that Christmas is over I turn my attention to getting half the family (DH and DS17) prepared to move to Greenville, SC next week while DS14 and I stay here in FL until the house sells. Every day a new set of conundrums pops up. Well, they wouldn't be conundrums if DH would just do everything 100 percent my way instead of injecting reason and common sense into my ideas 🤣 DONE: -coffee -order some stuff from Nordstrom (priorities, people. Priorities) -argue with DH about shipping DS17's pickup to SC rather than DS17 and I having to spend 8 hours in the car driving it up there together. Because let's face it, who among us wants to be with our 17 year old child driving on the interstate for the first time for 8 hours? -argue with DH about just paying the $300 pet fee for their corporate housing and taking the dog with us when we are in SC next week, rather than paying $350 for the kennel for dog to stay here (and this way any time I decide to head up there with DS14 dog can come, too) TO DO:-get ready for second Christmas party that will be virtually identical to the one we had yesterday -get the house ready to show on the off chance someone wants to visit today (I highly doubt this is going to happen but we have to be ready) -call for hair appointment for DS17 -cancel my 1/2/19 hair appointment-call cleaning service and ask if they can come this week -eat like pigs again at second Christmas party Edited December 27, 2018 by Pink and Green Mom 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
