LisaKinVA Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Take DS to dentist (they are talking root canal -- he woke up on Saturday with throbbing, sharp pain that grew worse over the weekend -- went to the emergency sick call yesterday, no sign of infection, tests inconclusive, asked to come back today -- running tests again). Laundry (ugh) Get ready for the landlord's workers to show up and take stock of what needs to be done (they realtors want to show the place, but there is a serious lack of maintenance that's been done -- major landscaping (dead tree removal, bushes, fencing that's rotting, the outdoor kitchen roof rotting, the tile falling off the walls), so they are coming to make their list... because mine isn't good enough 😉 ). Continue packing and cleaning Swimming Movie Night (going to see Shazaam! -- going to miss the $4 movie tickets). Virtual House Hunting work (we have a list of 7 houses, going to make an actual list of the homes pros/cons to compare). 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink and Green Mom Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) Good morning. Lots of little things to do today. Busy trying to get my paperwork together for the State of SC homeschool "authority" proving the courses we took do indeed rise to honors level. So much info to gather, standards to check, etc. So that is where my time has been going - gathering up enough info to make my case. For every single high school credit earned thus far (there are nine). -coffee-DS17 off to school (half day) -school with DS14 -library (pick up, drop off, search for book)-find dermatologist for DS14 (no one is seeing new patients) -find eye doc that accepts our insurance (DS17 running out of contacts, DS14 needs stronger prescription) -laundry-grocery store for a few things -homeschool paper chase-meet DS17 at tux place in Greenville at 1:30 -be home by 4 pm for exterminator -dinner (cilantro lime chicken and I've been promising DS14 for days that I will make spiralized potatoes with them) -watch Falcon Heavy launch with DS14 (asprining aerospace engineer) -watch and episode or two of 24 with family Edited April 10, 2019 by Pink and Green Mom 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Good morning! (((Jean))) So sorry about your uncle, Hope. Dh is going before a judge this morning to get the ball rolling on our petition for guardianship of FIL. If all goes well, dh will be granted temporary guardianship today, which will remain in effect while the permanent guardianship is being decided. I am trying to breathe deep and not stress out. FIL's finances, the business he owns, and his living situation are all a big, tangled mess and it is going to be quite a job to straighten it all out. school w/dd office work (finances, bills, filing, shredding) post office probably should vacuum something - upstairs, maybe do some paddock cleanup if it isn't raining or sleeting dd has Model UN and a violin lesson dinner: enchiladas verdes and rice 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteryJen Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Good morning! Prayers for everyone struggling today. Due to the weird testing schedule- dd2 is off today. She spent 7 hours in the SAT yesterday (time and half is really pretty horrible) and had some rude proctors. I am encouraging her to complain to her counselor- but she just wants to be done with it. We are watching the weather- 80 degrees yesterday made my ditzy roses think it was time to leaf out- but today is rain/snow/and tonight well-below freezing temps. So I am watching and will cover things up when necessary. My dh "helped" by bringing some things in- but, I had a plan... coffee/paper write bank/bills chores, etc school with ds3 if he is feeling better get basement room ready for ds2- comes home for his Easter break on Saturday baking with ds3 if better tennis ds3- maybe Talk with dd2- leaves for another OV tomorrow. School? Who goes to school? probably hide out in basement- handwork, quilting- dh said he might come home to work. dinner- pork chops? Pasta? not sure Have a great day! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Happy Wednesday! Still not sure why this is my favorite day. Is there something to the "hump day" mentality? Slept like normal people! Yay!! I woke up with a sore back, but it is better now. Kids up, ready, and off to the school bus with their instruments. Just barely on time. (I did wake them up late, so my bad this time.) Gathered garbage and took it out, cleaned part of the garage. Cleaned kitchen; washed a lot of dishes; cleaned bathrooms and some clutter. Coffee. Caught up on emails, news, social media. Checked out a few things about kids' school and sports. To do: More coffee. Work - just a couple of "pressing" things and a bunch of longer term / minor / cleanup things. I'm feeling motivated to do some exercise today! A little reading. Bills, calendar, filing. Might do some work in the kids' rooms, or make them do it, or both. Laundry - 2 or 3 loads. Should contact family about plans for the April 15 taxes and upcoming travel / pet sitting. Schedule chiro and dental appointments. Kids' work - whatever homework and cleaning their rooms. Not sure if they have any difficult tests / quizzes coming up. Might go running with Kid 1 if I find she doesn't need to go to gymnastics. Read-aloud(s). Work or sleep. Whatever I'm forgetting. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Dh has been appointed guardian of FIL.👍We have spent the afternoon notifying various people, requesting financial info, contacting banks, etc. Also enrolled FIL in a very nice adult day care program, so he will be spending his days getting the skilled care that he needs, plus the social time that he enjoys. It has been snowing and sleeting here all day, very yucky. I decided to drain the horses' water tank and clean it. Had a problem getting the plug out, so had to submerge my arm in ice cold water and ended up getting totally soaked in the process. Good times! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) Glad the process with your FIL is beginning to work out, Selkie. He is lucky to have y'all to oversee his care. The social element can be such a big thing. My mom is moving to assisted living soon and she will really enjoy the social dimension.

He did not attend church anywhere, so the pastor that did the service did it as a way of serving his friend, my cousin. My cousin (uncle's son) shared all kinds of humorous anecdotes about my uncle. My uncle was quite a character, to say the least. Anyway, it was an unusual but very fitting service. Now I'm back home to cram prep for my CC class. I'll go out and visit my mom after class. DH took off for the funeral and has the kids out and about and will take them to church activities tonight. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Can I whine for a second? Of course all this happens when I'm trying to get ready for a reunion thing tonight. Which I might not get to go to. My daughter's heart is hands-down more important, of course, but I am in that uncertain area where I might be able to do both but that's stressful! And of course my husband just got on an airplane. . . . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Well, I went on a wee little "run" with my daughter! I almost can't believe she put up with me. (I did tell her to run ahead, as there is no way I'll ever keep up with her in this lifetime.) My knees protested a bit and we only went 2/3 of a mile (she had to go to gymnastics after), but it was better than nothing. I've also done a fair amount of stair climbing today. I got one small work project out. Not really enough for a decent day's work, but I am in pretty good shape on most of my due dates. Now I am going to start some laundry. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 Reunion is off the table for tonight. We got done at Urgent Care but by the time I delivered dd back to the Y, it was 7 pm. It takes an hour to get to the reunion and I was planning on leaving by 8 pm. EKG was “borderline “. Nothing emergent but we will be following up with the cardiologist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We discussed four poems in my CC class tonight, and poetry is my favorite thing to teach. I went out and visited my parents after class and got to visit with my cousin, too, who was here today from out of town for the funeral. I’ve decided to forego my usual freak out and just go to bed to read for a bit. 😝 I’ve made a to-do list for tomorrow already, and I’ll just tackle it then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
