ScoutTN Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Good morning! Playing catch-up here, since none of my usual Saturday things got done over the weekend. Lovely spring morning here! School - help dd stay on track in the afternoon, check her math. Shorter day for ds. Quick grocery shopping for a few essentials. Bigger trip on Tuesday when I have more time. Post Office Ds to/from swimming Quick, easy dinner - Trader Joe's kung pao chx and egg rolls! Already in my freezer. Woohoo for last week's planning ahead. Cub Scouts pack meeting!

Selkie Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Good morning! Looks like it is going to be a nice day today - sunny and in the 40s. I'm in an unusually good mood for a Monday, especially considering I stayed up too late reading and then had to get up at 5:15 since I'm on solo chore duty in the mornings again. Hoping I can get a lot done today. school w/dd office work (pay health insurance & a few other bills, renew vehicle reg. if govt. website is working, go through credit card bills, file - I haven't filed in so long and my pile is like 3' high...) order stamps wipe down kitchen cabinets clean fridge vacuum and mop mudroom a few kitchen things turn two Visa debit cards I got for a rebate into Amazon gift cards laundry water plants dinner: I'm making veggie fried rice with all the produce that needs to be used up Edited March 25, 2019 by Selkie 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidlit Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Good morning! Dh is on spring break this week, which should make for an interesting week since we need to do school on top of all the stuff he’ll have going on. 🤪 His big project for the week is installing new lights in our kitchen. We’ve been remodeling our kitchen for the part year and the lights/ceiling are really the last big thing to do. I really don’t even know what to expect from today! Coffee/read/pray print ds14’s geometry test shower and dress school boys try to catch up with girls in their novels help dh with lighting project (as needed) send e-mail to co op class moms about an assignment cook something for my parents visit parents and take food clean. . .something go for a walk 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First day back for DS14 after Spring Break, DS17 has day off (it was a makeup snow day that they never had so day off). I'm waiting for my exterminator to come between 9-10 so I got up and moving quickly this AM. DH is out of town until Thursday late. -coffee -workout (cardio) -school (must keep better eye on DS14 - he is missing 8 assignments from his AP class.....grrrrrr) -call plumber -grocery shop -laundry DONE: 2 -work around the house (still need to organize and decorate the things that were unpacked and just thrown on shelves willy nilly) -out to dinner with baseball team (5:30) - cancelled because game was moved up to 4:30 due to rain forecasted -DS17 baseball game at 7:30 an hour north of here (ugh, and of course traffic up the interstate is dreadful and DH isn't here) Edited March 25, 2019 by Pink and Green Mom 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Margaret, that is so beautiful! My ds is visiting right now in Colorado Springs! I can't imagine dog sledding being part of my life. My toes get cold easy now (post menopausal thing I guess), so I might not want to do that! Stay warm if you can! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Good morning! ds3 is on spring break, dd2 is on her way to see her sister (Airline had a computer break down and it was a small disaster- but she texted she is on the plane- so all is good now). I have catch-up things to do in the house and some postponed errands to run. coffee/paper write move some boxes from dmil's (mostly photos) to basement closet water/weed clean under the kitchen sink vacuum area rug and basement regular chore list remind ds3 that he has some catch up of his own to do ds3 to gym/meet up with some tennis buddies, I think dinner- all we have I think is a NY style cheesecake that ds3 made yesterday. It looks amazing- probably that shouldn't be all I eat today. Have a great day! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Still coffeeing up - I can't remember exactly what I wanted to finish over the weekend / send out by this morning .... I spent the whole weekend either carting my kids around or entertaining our house guest. So today I am in catch-up mode. Done: Slept like normal people. Kids off to the school bus "on time." Cleaned the kitchen, bathrooms, and some clutter. Washed 2 loads of laundry so far. Planned evening schedule with various folks. Communicated kids' schedule to driver. Finished my shower etc. Checked kids' school results. Caught up on emails, news, social media. Had 1 call with a client (and lived through it). Placed an Amazon order. To do: More coffee. Lots of work. Finish laundry (total 3 loads - fully processed & put away). Bills. Fed-Ex stop. Work on tomorrow's schedule - it's going to be complicated. Dinner out - early. Kid 1 to gymnastics. Kid 2 has to clean out the van for tomorrow. Kid 2 has to figure out plans / supplies / orders for an AHG project. Kids' homework. Read-aloud?? Kids to bed. Work. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To do: coffee, coffee, coffee start laundry eat breakfast, clean kitchen submit dd's missing tests call dr for appts research more cars gym, weigh in work on books, bookshelves, make decisions on spare bedroom meatloaf for dinner, grilled veggies, salad Have a great day! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 My pile is filed.🏆 (Had to give myself a trophy for this accomplishment - it was a big, ugly pile.) Bills are paid. Assorted other work things done. On my third load of laundry. Put two clean basketfuls away. Watered and tended to my houseplants. Not much cleaning got done, but might try to squeeze some in after dinner and evening chores. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got word from my mom that she got some bad news at her doctor's appointment that is a setback to her healing from hip surgery. She is supposed to stay off her feet as much as possible until she goes back to the doctor in FOUR WEEKS. That sent me into a tizzy of cooking for them. My daddy does a good job of taking care of her (she'd say too good somtimes--ha!), but he does not cook. The plus side of all this is that my dd14 really stepped up to the plate and helped out a ton with the cooking. And now I'm tired enough to crash here at 9 p.m. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
