Kidlit Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) Good morning! Dh and dd14 are off to a rocketry competition dh helps with. I SO value our Saturdays that I’m a bit bummed about that, but dh is off next week for spring break, so I can’t complain too much. Today: go for a walk coffee/reading/writing✅ fold laundry in dryer✅ (Still haven’t put away.) take a bunch of clothes back to Sam’s for a refund take dd13 to thrift store for glassware for candle making (her newest artistic endeavor)✅ clean bedroom Do some kitchen prep and cooking for next week ✅ take other kids to park or somewhere fun for them ✅ watch movie and/or play game and/or do art with boys while dh and girls go to drivein to see Captain Marvel Edited March 23, 2019 by hopeistheword 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteryJen Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Good morning! Slept in a little- I have a ton of things to do today- outside and inside. Dh has his own list, so today is a work day for sure. coffee/quick peruse of paper drive to rent small tillers home to unpack plants/soak bareroot roses use the tiller- crossing fingers that it works well, goes quickly. dig up some perennials and move to new bed. It's early, but I don't like them much and they are in the wrong spots, if they don't make it. No tears here. plant roses take tiller back if ready stop at tree farm to check out a few things work on inside: bathrooms, dust, etc Mass- or tomorrow burgers for dinner Have a great day! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now I’ve got to go use the air compressor to air up ds8’s bike tire. Why do I make these lists? 😂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Done: Up in the wee hours binge watching a British show "Long Lost Family." Up about 8am, late, to get kid 2 off to horse riding. Packed hand-me-downs and gifts for niece. (Had to cull out the junk my kid included in her box of toys - it included cut hair among other things????) Kid to farm. Through exact timing and luck, met my sister as she was heading in for a hair appointment - saved me about an hour of additional driving & dealing with BIL. A little planning, clutter cleaning, getting Kid 1 ready to go. Checking emails & this site. To do: More coffee. Take kid 2 and pick up kid 1 from the barn. Make kids clean up the car as our house guest will be riding in it. Meet folks at restaurant. Some manner of entertaining guest, in between working and making kids do their homework. Laundry. Whatever else gets done - bills, filing, calendar, work, etc. Should try to wash my hair today, or it will look like crap at church tomorrow. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readinmom Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Morning, all! I should not have read all the car threads on here and got car envy. We are not in the market for a car right now. So, of course, Ds's car dies, more money to fix it than it's worth. I think I know what I want in a new car, but wasn't planning on doing this so soon (hybrid, good cargo space, dog friendly). We will replace one major part in the car, probably give him my car, and start a search. Thankfully, it's spring break for me so I technically don't need a car. Anyways, to do: drop dh off at work coffee, breakfast place order a Bed, Bath and Beyond for pick up place Amazon order finish books so I can make a library run in afternoon research used cars watch some basketball Costco run pick up dh at work possible movie/dinner date with dh read, relax Have a great day! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 I have had yet another really difficult night. With the exception of the night before last, I have had over two weeks of this. Despite working hard on my eating (and being very pleased with the very healthy veggie heavy dinners I have been making) I have been giving myself too many excuses for multiple sugary treats during the day. So that has to stop. And I hope that might help with the whole “waking up in a lot of pain in the middle of the night” thing because all my doctors can give me is a sympathetic “it sucks to be you” in doctor speak. Ok - now on with the day. I am halfway through the whole pet care process and I need to be a good little monkey and get myself back on track. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 human care done all the gazillion little pet care things done. (Which I know isn't even close to all that horse people or farm people do!) medical care done had my usual breakfast of bone broth and eggs (not mixed together!) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tested bloodsugar and it was perfect Jean, that's great news! I've cut down to 20 carbs per day, hoping for improvement. It's definitely made a huge difference, but makes going through certain shopping aisles torture. Thankfully, someone on the boards mentioned this, and it's actually pretty good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, after that I had too many grapes for a snack and my sugar went up! Not super high but higher than they should be. Should have stuck to a chocolate cookie! 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
