SKL Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Happy Tuesday! Gonna be a really busy day, and I need to try not to let it send me over the edge. Tonight is my kid's last public performance with her gymnastics group (she ages out this year). They are performing before our local professional basketball game. My kids wanted to have some friends come and make a fun night out of it. For this to work, I need to drive the work van, means cleaning and airing it (someone spilled a bottle of bleach in there). It also means cutting into work and homework time. Of course this is also a very busy work and school day. Up in the wee hours working / watching youtube. Kid 1 up at 5:45 to do homework / test study. Kid 2 up at 7; kids packed and off to the school bus on time. Cleaned breakfast mess, bathrooms, and some clutter, and started to coffee up. Caught up on news, emails, social media. Easing into work brain. To do: Put kid's performance outfit / shoes in a location where I can't forget them. Pull the van out of the garage and open it up to air it. Maybe figure out a hack to get the bleach smell out. Clean the van - my kids are slobs. Kid 2 was supposed to clean it out yesterday, but .... Make myself decent. Sign in to the online ticket accounts and print and distribute the tickets and meal vouchers. Put the tickets with the uniform so I don't forget them either. Time the drive and plan backwards to decide when I have to quit work and hit the road. Lots of work - at least 1 client has a big transaction today and several have major projects due. Try for a FedEx stop. Pick up kids at school aftercare. (I hope they do their homework before I arrive.) Drive to stadium / attached mall. Hand off Kid 1 to her coaches. Get the other kids some food in the food court. Herd the other kids into the stadium and watch the show. Herd everyone up to our seats and try to keep them alive for the duration. Maybe stop at the gift shop as my kids want to buy a jersey for the sports-themed dance that is this Saturday. Drop each of the guest kids off at his/her home. Come home and force my kids to do homework and stuff. Work. Whatever I'm forgetting. Whatever else gets done. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidlit Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Just wanted to say that you mamas are rockstars! Seriously. You do SO MUCH and are keeping it together. Way to go! 👊🏼 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Just remembered that you don't print these kinds of tickets - you download an app to make your iphone show them. Got that done. Also I needed to figure out how to be 2 different people and how to transfer some of the tickets to a friend. Got that done. Also just remembered that I have a chiropractor appointment at 2:something today. Trying to keep moving forward until my brain can prioritize intelligently. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readinmom Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Morning, all! Pink and Green-promposals are serious business! It will start for us after spring break...crazy times. Hopeistheword-prayers for your dd, hoping she has a positive experience at her appt., SKL-good luck! You're a trooper for doing all that! I couldn't make a decision on the car. Our internet was out most of the day yesterday, missing our Verizon service so much. Ds's car was fixed, but dh noticed water dripping after he got home, so I have dh's mammoth car to drive today. Dd and I are going to an outdoor mall down by the beach for a little shopping, lunch, Barnes and Noble, walk on the beach. All this is she decides to get up and get going for the morning... To do: coffee, shower, dress more coffee for the road! day out with dd return home for dinner (meat loaf tonight/had chicken last night instead) make appt for lab work, if I can find the referrals make hair appt for dd and myself CVS for miscellaneous items lesson planning make sure dd works on online classes to reach % goal read for 52 week challenge formulate new night time routine Have a great day! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Cleaned out the car (good enough).o It's airing out, I hope. Fed the critters. Completed & emailed a bunch of reports and files. Filed a bunch of stuff so it can stop cluttering my brain. Starting to get an idea of how to prioritize the big work items. If only I could focus. About to go get my 3rd cup of coffee. Might need to put off my chiro and fed ex aspirations. Need to remember to figure in time for my kid to change into her uniform. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update—school? What’s that? 😝 SOmetimes I’m amazed that we ever accomplish anything! Dd14’s counseling session went well as far as I can tell. She is seeing a counselor we’ve used for several years who also saw my other dd who has OCD and I have also been to. Dd14 is a bit teary now, which is unusual for her, but not an unusual after-effect of counseling. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m at Starbucks with my laptop and books, working on my blog and enjoying tr relative quiet! 🎉. I texted my parents and they’re good, so I can skip going out to check on them tonight. Before Starbucks, I went to a local shoe store and bought myself a pair of Birkenstocks and a pair of Teva leather sandals. This is something of a splurge but also needed. I tend to buy pricey shoes and wear them until they’re completely worn out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
