LisaKinVA Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) Laundry (I am essentially caught up -- just the stuff hanging outside (raining hard today, so it's not going to be dry). Pack up the remaining empty boxes (once those are done... I can't do any more until we buy more!) Trip to the dump (getting rid of some major trash) Kids continue cleaning up the toy area (sorting all of the bins of things we've collected that weren't put away the first time) Bathroom Cleaning Send off NCAA paperwork (done) Get some of the furniture sent to it's new homes! ETA: Ran out of packing tape... surprised my hubby by selling our European Treadmill for $250 in less than 10 minutes (he wanted to sell it for $50). My goal is to sell off about $3,000 worth of stuff (I am giving some away free, and haven't yet touched the school and miscellaneous books, and we haven't gotten to the toys or camping gear, either. Still so much to go!!) By next week, most of my downstairs furniture that is being sold will be gone. I still have a long way to go, though.

SKL Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Happy Saturday! Last night was great with the kids and their friends. They had a field trip, testing, bowling, and then I took several to dinner, ice cream, candy shopping, and the playground, followed by a show of their choice (at home, just my kids) and a reasonable bedtime. This is practically utopia! One unique part was sharing a chocolate covered scorpion. (I did not partake in that.) Today is going to be busy too. Throw in a load of laundry. Kid 2 to the horse barn. Switch out the laundry. Kid 1 ready & both kids to TKD. [Food before or after.] Kids to friend's house for a few hours. Work, bills, calendar, filing .... More laundry. Some sort of exercise. Kid's confirmation test. Kids' homework / test study / music practice. Evening - watch a play in which kids' friend is an actor. Kid showers / hair washes. Read-aloud? Kids to bed. Work! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restocked paper towels and tp. Cleaned fridge & restocked beverages. Did horse chores. Now I’m riding with ds20 in his truck.

mom31257 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Good afternoon! The day started with sleeping in, and then dh took the car for an oil change. I picked him up because it would be awhile, and we out to breakfast. I've been paying bills, and catching up on some more financial stuff, including putting our state taxes in the mail. I've done some laundry but have more to go. The rest of the day is tidying, laundry, dinner, and watching Vikings. I'll think about school tomorrow. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Went to a Chinese restaurant that we’ve never been to before.

SKL Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 So far so good. While the kids were at TKD, I decided to go for a walk. I like as much green as possible, so I walked out behind the nearby businesses where there is some grass & a ravine with trees. Climbed a hill and came down in another location, behind another business. It was getting close to time to meet my kids, so I headed toward the road, but the place was fenced up with barbed wire on top and chains and padlocks on every gate. (I was locked inside.) I finally found a part of the gate where there was a depression in the ground and I might be able to slither under. Praying that my butt wasn't too big, I laid down my coat and slid over it to avoid getting my clothes covered with mud. Success! I am sure I am on some security camera somewhere .... I took the kids to their friend's house, where I hope they are helping his mom clean up her yard. I made a grocery run, folded some laundry, and now I'm supposed to be "working" until I go pick up my kids and bring them home to study. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Just made our Malleys fundraiser order for Easter. I was going to let the kids do it, but I got tired of waiting for a good time. They are busy all weekend and the deadline is Monday ... plus we are going on vacation starting Friday, so it really has to get here before then! Speaking of which - I have a lot of stuff to do before we fly out. I also remembered some things I was supposed to do in advance of the April 15 tax deadline. I will be busy once I get settled in this evening / night .... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Settlers of Catan Scout fundraiser was basically a bust--we only had 3 people, so one Scouter jumped in to make the 4th. However, we also did the flag ceremony for the American Legion District meeting at the Elks and it went very well. And we finished a boy's Eagle project! 50 new flags on poles. Each flag has a veteran's name embroidered on it. In the meantime we had a new calf....and then a set of twins! Twins will have to be bottle fed for awhile--mom's milk hasn't come it. They won't be able to go out to the herd this summer most likely. We can't graft one twin on the cow that lost hers as she still can't stand up consistently after her c-section. The twins were boy/girl, so the girl will be sterile. I am exhausted as I only got 3.5 hours of sleep because of the snowstorm last night and checking cows. But we have a new Scout! He'll join the troop on Monday. So I guess the fundraiser was for a Scout, not money! Was this to play the game of Catan? I would have been all over a fundraiser like that! I love strategy board games, much more so than my dh and ds. I get to play more when dd is home. I've thought about seeking out a group of people to play regularly, but I don't know if there would be much interest or not. And I wonder where I would find the time!

Kidlit Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 15 minutes ago, Margaret in CO said: Yes, but we only had professors and a classified employee come. I think we started too early in the morning. It was a first time for this, and we're willing to try again. I'm glad we had the other things for the Scouts to do. It was the Scout dad who actually won, but it WAS a national qualifier tournament, so the next place guy will actually go--the 1st has national marbles for his kid that week. Most tournaments are held in game stores, but we used the business building at the college. It was a great time; I just think the purpose was to pick up the kid with ASD for the troop perhaps. And that's just fine. We only played 4 games, so were out of there way earlier than planned. I got 2 hours of nap! National Catan sent the prizes, so we weren't any money. https://www.catanstudio.com/events/catan-world-championship/catan-national-qualifier-2019-season/ Interesting!

SKL Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Back home after the play about 11:00. I am tired, but my kid wanted to take a 2nd shower and wash her hair, so I am up waiting for her to tell me she's ready to sleep. (Also to exterminate bugs should she see any. Not my favorite part of being a mom.) Other kid promises she will wake up early and shower. She promises she will not give me a hard time about it in the morning. We'll see. I was intending to do some work tonight, but I am just too tired. I will see if I can get up early tomorrow and do some. It's gonna be another very busy day tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did finally finish The Chosen, which I’ve been reading for a couple of weeks, thanks to this “extra” time.
