Jean in Newcastle Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 School work on camp bylaws 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMWB Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Thursday will mark the 5th day in a row of all the local public schools being closed due to weather, my kids always find out, and then all hope of doing school work is basically out the window because of attitude issues. However, it is really not 'go play in the snow' weather either. We are just trying to make it through. I am 99% certain that we are not going to be able to go to the 'already re-scheduled once' valentines exchange tomorrow either, so that is going to be fun. Goal: make it through the day without yelling or resorting to daytime drinking :-) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink and Green Mom Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Good morning! Packers arrive in 2 hours, DH in about 4. Still some things to do before they get here. -coffee -finish packing up my suitcase of clothes -cook frozen lasagna and put it in fridge for lunch -make sure I have disposable eating utensils out to use Once DH arrives -go to library -have DH look at washing machine (it is making a lot of noise on spin cycle) -leave everything else for him to deal with, LOL I'm assuming my router and things will be packed up today so this might be it until we reach SC on Sunday. Hope everyone has a great day!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 The local news was saying last night that public schools might have to go into July this year due to all the snow days. I am glad that we ignore the public school schedule and do school anyway. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Good morning! Happy Valentine's Day!❤️ Pink and Green, I hope everything goes smoothly with your move! Look forward to hearing from you again once you're settled! On the topic of school closings, the schools around here set up their calendars with the expectation that there will be several days missed due to weather, but this year has been a record setter. Some of the districts are extending their school day by half an hour for the rest of the year to make up the missed time, so they don't have to go way into the summer. school w/dd office work (deal with the two piles on my desk & work on finances) hay delivery? dust & vacuum basement clean kitchen light fixtures clean windows in sunroom go to post office get groceries dinner: maybe pick up Japanese, or I might make the veggie fried rice I was going to make last night watch hockey tonight 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Good morning! Good luck on moving day, Pink and Green! We have not had a single snow day this year! Usually we only have one anyway, so this is not too unusual. We got good/bad news at the dr yesterday. One, that it can be fixed and the pain won't get better without surgery. Two, the pain will go away after surgery and she should be better than new, if she follows the plan. It's out of network for us, but honestly after researching this for about six months, this is the only surgeon I would let near dd2. So timing and $$ need to be worked out. I have pick up ds3 from tennis- will post a list when I get back. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Howdy! How is it Thursday already?! I need to hand wash / air dry my kid's cheer uniform for tomorrow morning! Up working in the wee hours. Slept some. Kid up early to finish homework. Kids off to the school bus with valentines, school forms / donations, gym clothes .... Cleaned kitchen, bathroom, and some clutter. Sent out some work early, to keep the hounds at bay for a bit. Some personal texts / calendar work & filing. Caught up on emails, news, social media. To do: Lots of work reports. Laundry. Kids have TKD, but the driver will take them. Kids' work. Whatever else gets done. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) I hope y'all with bad weather get a break soon! I hope packing day goes well, Pink and Green! Will they be there more than one day? Jen, I am glad you have a plan. Insurance can be such a frustration when it doesn't really help with what you need and makes the whole process so much more complicated. Today: School ✅ make dinner early? ✅ Shop Consignment sale ✅ Ds to an activity ✅ AHG with Dd doneo Edited February 15, 2019 by ScoutTN 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 I had a very bad night last night. My zombie self needs to really embrace the "slow but steady" motto today along with the "what was I doing again?" motto. Human care is done pet care is done medical care is done Dd is being paid to get a neighbor kid to the school bus for a late start morning. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink and Green Mom Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Packers left, about 80 percent of the packing is done. Gonna be a long day tomorrow. They did leave the internet modems and one cable modem plugged in, thankfully. Otherwise we'd all be sitting here staring at each other all night long. LOL. See you all tomorrow! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 Dishwasher unloaded and dishes put away. Remaining dishes loaded but not run since it's not full. One load of laundry in washing machine called to set up monitored medication appointment for tomorrow. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 All done with this busy day. Zillions of things to do tomorrow, but winding down now. Dh is playing Fernando Ortega songs on the piano and kids are in bed. Reading here, then The Wind in the Willows. Just got the Center for Lit Valentines freebie, a download of their audio discussion of Pride and Prejudice. Trying not to eat the chocolate my kids got from everyone and everywhere today! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
