MysteryJen Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Back from the meet- pretty successful over all- one best time- but wow- the gossiping and meaness on the deck (who knew that injury was the fault of the swimmer, coach and parent?) and in the stands was fairly breathtaking. dd2, who is used to mean girls in a real way, was pretty upset by the end of the meet. Thanks for the welcome back, Colorado Swimming. Today is recovery- house, mind, school, bills. coffee/paper bills/bank/check receipts for meet get dd2 off to school ds3 up and working- papers due at the end of the week need to write a check for tennis work on some Christmas gifts laundry- lots general clean up- but dh and ds3 were gone much of the weekend- so things are pretty good ds3 to tennis library? pick up ds3 figure out dinner watch football Have a great day! 1 2 Quote
wintermom Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Rats. It's a rainy Monday morning, and the dc passed on their germs to me. I'm nauseated, which isn't far off my normal abdominal pain, just different. 😰 Done: Coffee, drove ds to school, grocery shopping To do: Shop for plates and stuff for a potluck today, drive ds to basketball and co-op, work the potluck tonight. 4 Quote
May Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Already completed my 5 mile walk Do laundry, fold and put away. I also have about 20 banquet size table clothes to do from a church dinner on Friday night Vacuum Meet daughter for lunch Start a batch of peanut balls to get out on Thursday to DD and SIL Take dog for his evening walk, DH is off on a hunting trip and this is usually his job. 4 Quote
SKL Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) Howdy. Yay for Monday. I have at least one conference call which will stress me out pretty much all day. And lots of work to do. Sleep sucked last night, but I did get some. Online shopping in the wee hours. Minor but important stuff. Not sure how much sleep I got, I was up a lot. Had 3 things I was meant to finish before the kids got up.... Got some client work done, but it was more complicated than expected & still has not gone out. Math reviewed. School lunches ordered through the end of December. Papers signed. Kids up & off to the school bus on time. A little house cleaning. Fed the bird. A little TKD practice. A little calendar work. A little reading. Caught up on news, emails, social media. On 2nd or 3rd cup of coffee ... not sure. To do: Many reports and document reviews for work. Straighten my room as it's getting to me. Hope to do some more exercise. Would like to make all of us run, but it's raining outside right now.... Pay some bills. Kids' work - need to crack down on finishing some work early since Tues & Weds will be too busy. Kid2 has clarinet lesson. Laundry. Should probably feed the kids. Whatever else gets done.

Jean in Newcastle Posted December 9, 2019 Author Posted December 9, 2019 Graded American history. It’s a little weird that dd is studying things that happened in my lifetime as history... Graded American literature graded algebra 2 3 Quote
Jean in Newcastle Posted December 9, 2019 Author Posted December 9, 2019 Grocery shopped. Got home. A bag split open, cracking a big jar of pickles all over my front steps and seriously bruising my big toe. Swept up the pickles and glass. Hosed off the front steps. Had to wash my broom and dust pan! Left yet another message for the insurance guy. 3 Quote
SKL Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 I lived through the conference call. Yay! Guess I should be glad I feel so accomplished every time that happens. Before the call, I fell asleep and slept for like an hour. Bad me! My important client report is still not done. I need a shower. Should I shower first or get the work done first? I think I will shower first so I won't be a bad example for my kids when they come home from school .... 4 Quote
ScoutTN Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Decided to come home and not hang out on the other side of town all afternoon. Dinner is made. Sign Up Genius for Scouts done. Lots of calendar planning. Dishwasher is running. Resting for a few minutes before I leave to pick up Ds. Going to have to get some audiobooks for the cross town driving that school will entail. 3 Quote
Jean in Newcastle Posted December 9, 2019 Author Posted December 9, 2019 Drove with dd(18 in two days). She's been learning with dh but this was my first time in the driving instructor's seat with her. She drove me using city streets to our neighboring city and back. She did very well. I only panicked once! Got another jar of pickles. Priorities. . . Finally got a call back from insurance guy. Boy, insurance is expensive. . . 2 Quote
ScoutTN Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 Well, it is a done deal. Ds is going to school in January. I am relieved, but also sad. Find myself crying all the time. He will finish the year there and we'll assess in April (homeschool tutorial registration ) to see how things stand. I suspect he will not return to homeschooling soon. 8th grade, high school .... too far away to call. We found a tiny, private middle school with excellent teachers and amazing financial aid. I think it will be a good place for ds to learn and grow, academically and as a whole person. January may be rough. Lots of adjustments for all of us. I need to work more to pay tuition, but will also have more time to spend with dd on her school. 2 1 Quote
Selkie Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 (((Scout))) Change is so hard, but I hope it will be a good one for both you and your ds. It sounds like you have put a lot of thought into this and found a wonderful school! 2 1 Quote
Jean in Newcastle Posted December 10, 2019 Author Posted December 10, 2019 Scout- I am sorry for the tears but it sounds like a great school. 2 1 Quote
MysteryJen Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 ((Scout)) It sounds like a wonderful solution and situation. Change is hard but it can be good. 3 Quote
