Melissa in Australia Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Traveled to Melbourne by public transport for twin 1 surgery. he will have surgery tomorrow, get out of hospital on Saturday. We will travel halfway home by public transport and meet DH and do a kid swap. He will take twin 1 home and I will go back to Melbourne for twin 2 to have an EEG scan on the Monday. it is times like this that Melbourne seems a very very long way away. My head is spinning with all the planning to try and get all of this organised as we only found out about the surgery 5days ago - he was on a cancelation waiting list. As we have waited close to 6 months for twin 2 testing we are not changing it 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Praying for you Mellisa! For me, I will do well to get through work today. That will be about all I can manage. I am exhausted. Normally the first week or two is a bit of a lull, but this year, it has been non stop! I literally have had no down time at all. I am beginning to feel a run down cold coming on, need to order some elderberry and make a tea. Work order elderberry look over national boards stuff and plan deadlines and dates with a co-worker also working on it 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink and Green Mom Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) Praying for you and your family, Melissa! Just a regular day today. I think today (or tomorrow) will be the last day the nerve block is working on DS18's shoulder post-surgery so I need to make sure I'm keeping an eye on him and whether he needs pain pills or not. Other than that, a normal Thursday. -coffee-figure out dinner and take something out -school with DS14-try to convince DS18 to do some school work (LOLOLOLOLOLOL) -workout (back, shoulders, biceps) -laundry DONE: 0 -call groomer -call school for PSAT 9 for DS14 (I don't think DS18's school does PSAT 9 so I may have to contact public high school we are zoned for, which I dread) -call homeschool cover group for official DS14 transcript for honor society application -order food for Clemson tailgate Saturday -grocery store for a few things -dinner -tweak resume for a job I found and apply (should probably do this earlier in the day when my mind is fresher, LOL) Edited September 5, 2019 by Pink and Green Mom 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReader Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Prayers, Melissa, for your twins & you. Dawn, prayers for you too, getting work/etc sorted and not actually getting the cold you feel. Pink & Green, I just realized/put together....my son's school is playing your school in football this weekend! Enjoy the game (and go easy on us, LOL!). My day.... ....another late night. We went to the concert; super fun, but I felt bad for the artist as it was WAY undersold, apparently; we had tix in the mezzanine level and when we went to our seats, they swapped our tix out for seats on the floor. They'd set up folding chairs in the area between the regular floor seats and the stage, where they'd moved the floor seats people. All of the upper levels were closed and moved down. So, yay for us, we got much better seats, but....ouch for the artists. After the concert, dropped DS18 back off at his dorm (not the school playing P&G's school), then came back home.....around midnight. Texted DS goodnight....he texted back goodnight at 1:30.....:yawn: Another tired day. Realized this morning, staring at the calendar, that DS14 had an ortho appt on Tuesday.......which we missed. Oops. So now I need to call and reschedule; probably pay a missed appt fee, too. :sigh: So today I need to: ...make more coffee ...put away laundry, wash another load ...empty dishwasher ...school with DS14 ...fencing with DS14 ....write a parent about plans for their DD's school work ....call the power co. and find out about filing a claim on our freezer ....do whatever we need to in order to do that ....I feel like surely there is more but I can't think right now, so.... 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) Hi, happy Thursday! I know I'm a broken record, but I'm stressed out again. A client sent me an email that suggests I might have made a mistake at some point. That always freaks me out, even though with millions of pieces of data, it would be almost a miracle if you never made a mistake. I will need to go into the government website and various files and figure out what I screwed up - or if the government screwed up. And then tell the client and my boss. My boss will give me hell if it was me. Ugh! I also owe a pile of accounting reports. I'm tired though. I really want a nap. My kid generously gave me her sinus infection. Maybe after I chug more coffee, I will have the spunk to go figure out what I need to figure out. Done: Laundry in the wee hours - kid loaned her 2nd gym shirt out & didn't tell me until it was an emergency. Kid 1 up early to finish her sketchbook assignment. Pack gym bags, sketch books, etc. Kids ready & off to the school bus on time, barely. Took out the garbage. Washed the dishes & cleaned off the kitchen surfaces. Processed the laundry from the dryer. 1st cup of coffee. Caught up on social media, news, emails. To do: More coffee. Figure out that new client issue. Accounting reports. Tax stuff. Conference call. More laundry: whites. Hopefully last load until next week? Whatever else gets done. Kid 1 to have volleyball practice after school. Kid 2 to have horse riding lesson. (Driver will drive both kids.) Kids' homework. Read-aloud? Kids to bed. Work or sleep. Edited September 5, 2019 by SKL 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Okay, making more coffee (had 1.5 large mugs, which is = 2 normal mugs; not enough, so making another 4-cup pot....) Called dentist/ortho and rescheduled that missed appt; no missed appt fee! Yay!! Called power co. and left message to be called back about filing a claim. Have my data gathered so I can be coherent when they call back (the recording promised a call-back w/in 2 hrs. I hope I remembered my phone number properly. I really have no idea....we've had so many numbers, I get the area code portion mixed up all.the.time. We'll see.....)(I need to text DH and ask and then maybe call back and leave the right number.....) (yay, got it right! Relief.) Writing a rough draft of the parent email and having DH proof it for "professional sounding" for me Then school with DS 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Wrote the rough draft, sent to DH. Coffee is made; pouring a cup, getting DS down for school before we have to leave for fencing. :yawn: Please can I sleep, uninterrupted, tonight?? For a full 8 hrs at least?? :yawn: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 human care done pet care done medical care done dishwasher emptied one load of laundry folded and put away one load in the washer looked up the date for dd's last visit with the retinal specialist. For someone who hates going to him, dd sure nags me alot about making appointments. . . And no, she's not having any new problems. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Did the parts of school we could get done before fencing; let DS know we have to do the other parts after fencing. Eating lunch, waiting on DH to send back corrections on my email so I can send to the parents. No return call from the power co yet; 13 mins to go..... Need to find a book to take to fencing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Sent the email to the parents; here's hoping they agree with what I sent. Fingers crossed. No power co. return phone call yet.....maybe while I'm at fencing...? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Well, I found the mistake in the client reporting. Apparently we changed one data point (out of some hundreds) from YES in 2016/17 to NO in 2017/18 My guess is that I entered YES online in 2016/17 and forgot to tell my staff to update our records. Or they failed to make the change if I did tell them. It is my responsibility. I apologized and hope it is an easy fix. Still wishing for a nap. Still have a lot of work to do. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 the part of school that I do with dd is now done. She's now gone to the library to do the rest there on her own. dishwasher has been loaded and is now running. wet clothes are now in the dryer. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Tutoring is done. The last load of laundry is in the washing machine. Ds is moving along with school but still a bit behind. He failed to see the list I had made him for work over the weekend while I was out of town, so I guess it will go into this weekend. I figured out dinner, so I don't have to go to the grocery store before I fix dinner. I may go after, though, because we need food for lunch after co-op tomorrow. I'm off to do more math problems for my ACT/SAT math prep class homework. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 I picked up a tiny bit in the dining room, living room and ds' room. And I figured out what I'm going to make for dinner (gf kalbi short ribs). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 home from fencing asked about practice swords, jackets, pants, etc. and got all of that info for DH asked about what steps/path DS should take in order to, eventually, compete in tournaments. Coach & I (and DS, honestly) all are in agreement on the "well, classically, you had to fence 2 yrs before competing..." kind of mindset. We shall attempt to get DH there. (not saying for sure has to be 2 yrs but the coach's thought, mine, and DS's, is "wait until you won't get clobbered", and in the meantime, do come not only to fencing *class* but also to "open fencing" sessions). The power co. called back while at fencing, 3.5 hrs past when I called them (so, umm not inside the "we guarantee a call back w/in 2 hrs"; not a big deal, but why have a stated timeframe to return calls if, well, you aren't actually going to do that....?); I learned e don't have to have all the official docs before filing the claim, and we don't have to have an official estimate from a repair guy if DH can dx the freezer problem on his own, so that is good. I will file the online claim once DH does the dx test. Dinner will be sloppy joes, broccoli and mac & cheese. I need to do laundry things, and the "after fencing" school with DS. I'm having a start of a maybe headache, so grabbing a snack, taking a sudafed b/c I *think/hope* its sinus gunk, drinking the rest of the extra coffee (and some more water), and once I supervise DS doing his school work, maybe lay down if it's not getting better yet. Also waiting on a parent to reply to an email so I know if I'm meeting with them tomorrow or some other time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Morning list done, except for AHG mtg tonight. Leaving soon, since we need to be early. Also done: gas in my car, thrift shop, minor effort at picking up the LR, RA. Next up: Shower and dress for tonight. Double check paperwork. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 Picked up a tiny bit in the dining room, living room and ds' room - two more rounds. Just realized that I haven't call the chiro yet. On the fence as to whether I want to . . . but realized the reason I am on the fence is because I don't want to schedule an evening appt. but also realized that my schedule is such at the moment that I don't have to. . . Just called and made an appt. for tomorrow afternoon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Dd2 had the photo session. It was the first time she had done a start off the blocks since March- she did great and is getting some confidence back. I am currently sitting in the car while match play is suspended for lightning. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 Went to the pharmacy and unfortunately got the *****y pharmacy tech. Gave her my prepared card with all names and birthdates but she still made me recite them just to be difficult. (She's the one who refuses to tell me who the prescriptions were for when I accidentally guessed the wrong family member since they don't give any identifying information when letting me know that there is a prescription there. Absolutely no other pharmacy tech has been like that in the 20 years I've been going to this pharmacy.) I "stuck it to her" by not saying thank you after getting my prescriptions. ( It's the worst thing I could do considering my upbringing.) Went to the grocery store and picked up a few things for tonight's dinner (gf kalbi short ribs) Grilled said short ribs and made sides. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I hate being a klutz! Whammed the bottom corner of a car door into my ankle today - it's swollen and bruised and hurts. Not a big sprain, just a painful nuisance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
