SKL Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Howdy. I fell asleep last night waiting for my kids to finish their homework. We were all behind on sleep. Woke up at 3:something. It's gonna be a long day. I'm not sure if my kids finished their homework or not. I'll have to go wake them up early and find out. Yay. I should have just gone back to sleep when I got up, but I started checking my emails and decided I needed to get on the computer. Now it's almost 6. I have a vague feeling of doom about today's work ... not sure why other than I'm still behind on everything. I hope I get a bunch done and keep everyone happy today. I have one conference call that I know of. Must remember to take out the garbage after sending the kids off to school. I have piles of boxes and wood to take to the treelawn, but it's cold and I probably won't do much of it this time. The kids have their choral Christmas concert tonight. Need to figure out what they will wear - supposed to be black & white. A black skirt and white shirt should work, but one of them probably won't go for that .... Otherwise, whatever gets done .... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Dawn, I'm so sorry about your mom! The WTM baked oatmeal is in the oven, and I'll get the kids up after it's done. Today, ds will do a bit of school, then we are headed out for lunch and to go Christmas shopping. We'll get back for a quick dinner and will have to go to church. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Good morning! It's frosty and sunny here and I'm the only one up. Dh left hours ago and kids are still asleep. Dd has some light schoolwork to do. Errand day for me! Zillions of errands! Going to one part of town to do many things. Contemplating taking ds with me. To do, besides errands: Order one gift for dd? Thought about it, but my original idea is too expensive and will be better as a birthday gift next yr. Get butter out to soften and make dough for pecan cookies. Call mom Figure out dinner. Dd to choir practice. Make grocery list Edited December 18, 2019 by ScoutTN 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I went back to sleep for a while, woke the kids up to ask about their homework (they said it was done except for needing "a little help with spelling." So I slept some more. When I reviewed the work, it was done so half-a$$ed ... then kid took forever to come downstairs. (This is the kid I just made a mental health appt for.) We fixed the homework, left a little late to drive to school, but maybe they won't get a tardy due to the horrible roads. Ugh! 2 more mornings before break, which can't come fast enough !!!! They have a math test today and tomorrow, so that should be interesting. Took out the garbage. Cleaned the kitchen and some clutter. Fed the bird. Coffee. Caught up on emails, news, and social media. Texted with driver & got her check to her - she is up to date until next week. Emailed / texted 2 teachers. Analyzed and emailed re a work issue. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Did 2 loads of laundry. Did rounds 1 & 2 of horse chores. Shoveled lots of frozen manure. Got a hay delivery. Puppies puppies puppies 🙃😍 So much fun... Ordered a few more Christmas items. Will be glad when I'm done spending $ on Christmas! Realized our produce box will arrive tomorrow and there was still lots of last week's produce in the fridge. So cut up veggies for snack trays, roasted beets, and made a big bowl of cabbage and celery root slaw. Got most of my dinner prep done, too. Next up: Eat lunch, clean kitchen, office work! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 It hasn't been a very productive day. And I'm just not feeling it. I took a nap. I talked to my kids' teacher about my daughter's "issues" - it was a good conversation. I got some good news about a work project. My youngest says they don't have homework today. (The older one still has at least one thing carrying over from the weekend. But she won't be home to work on it until 8:something.) In about an hour, I need to be heading to the school with clothes for my kids' choir concert. I think one reason I am not feeling productive is the invisalign thing ... it is painful and distracting the first few days, and that makes me tired. Wonder if eldest is going to be starving or if she snagged something to eat. Maybe I should bring her some nuggets. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Worked on office things all day. Still have a few things to do, including one that is going to be somewhat time consuming. I am going to take a break to feed the horses and make dinner and then get back to it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Picked up ds3 and headed home. When we got home, he discovered that he was missing a piece to the charging socket. So back to the court and he found the piece in about a minute. It was a tiny ring about 1 cm in diameter. He said he thought he saw it fly off when he was hitting. Eyesight is improving, I guess 😂 Anyway, fixing the machine is his project for the afternoon. And, in the category of super amazing news- ds1 got a job! Full-time! With benefits! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Morning list is done! Got ds his first navy blue blazer. It fits and he likes it. He will look very handsome at the dance this weekend! Cookies are baked. Assembling the last breakfast casserole momentarily. Tricky to make room in my fridge for another one. Then to bed with a book. I'm wiped out! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Woo hoo, I am D.O.N.E. with my work pile. I should be in good shape for the holidays now, and only have to do a few things here and there for the rest of the month. Going to make some popcorn and relax. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
