Melissa in Australia Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Still at my grandmother's house caring for her. 3km walk Sweep back deck Help grandmother get up and dressed takes about an hour Tidy kitchen Sit and engage in small talk for most of the day Paint front ramp and mini veranda Thai for tea (dinner) Sit and more small talk I am finding the very slow pace very slow. I am so use to rushing around all day long 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Good morning! My kids were hoping for a snow day, but there's not a flake to be seen. Dd to tutorial School with ds, who is super-grouchy because of no snow. Deskwork! Must pay a bill today and write some checks. Register kids for camp? Get gas Library Tomorrow! Make dinner - tacos ✅ Ds to/from Science class. Clean out and organize bathroom cabinets! Nope. Check dates for consignment sale. Yikes, it's a month earlier than usual! SO glad I checked!

SKL Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I'm gonna see if I can stay awake this morning (though thinking about it is making me sleepy). Got the kids off to the school bus barely on time. Only one of them fell on the ice. (Of course, the one whose coat I just washed 2 days ago.) I have lots of work to do. (That thought is making me tired too.) Also have a chiro appointment mid-afternoon. Need to take a shower and wash my hair before that. Kids each have 1 activity this evening. Kids' work - hard to plan as we think they will have a snow/cold day Wednesday. They have a test Thursday and if there's school Wednesday, serious test study needs to start today. If no school Wednesday (meaning also no after-school practices), then the studying can be spread out. So I hope the schools post the closing early. 🙂 If I get around to it, I want to sign the kids up for their summer camps today. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Good morning! It is in the single digits this morning which is the coldest it has been this winter. Dh bundled up and headed out to bike to work. He would love to retire in New England- but he would have to do it without me. I am drinking coffee and sitting by the heat dish in the freezing cold kitchen. Thinking of Spring and summer, starting to plan the front garden. coffee/paper write school with ds3 letter to ds1/package of mail other chores errands with ds3/lunch home to more things to get done SAT tutor for dd2 ds3 to tennis jen things figure out dinner-probably pasta Have a great day! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 In the middle of office work now. Got my usual things done - outside work, cleaned kitchen twice, working away on the laundry. The boys are coming down for a visit this afternoon (their classes are canceled until Friday). I hope the roads will be okay. They said they're not going to stay overnight, but I'm going to try to persuade them anyway.😉 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Well the kids are off school tomorrow and Thursday. Yay! They have a big test to study for, so now they can take their time vs. cramming it all in at night after school and sports. Plus, it's great to have a break from the insanity that is Wednesday for my eldest. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink and Green Mom Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Just found out our appraisal at our house we are selling is tomorrow. So I guess I better make sure the house is cleaned up tonight.... Also, in the interests of keeping the kitchen clean we will eat out tonight. At least some good comes of this....🤣 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
