TheReader Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 Busy day here. ...coffee and coffee and coffee ...DH take DS19 to a success seminar at college ...print all the stuff for school on Monday and pack my school bag ...meet my mom in her new town, get her new keys, go to the quilt shop down there having a sale, bring mom back home ...DH pick up DS19 from seminar ....DH, mom, me go to mom's old town, pick up her U-Haul truck, drive back to our house, sleep (8 hr round trip.....)...tomorrow: drive the U-Haul to mom's new town, unload, hang out with mom, go to MIL's house and watch football, come home, collapse in bed **Pray that mom's friend in her old town actually FINDS the U-Haul key between now and then......her friends picked it up yesterday, they loaded up, drove/parked the truck at a neighbor's house, *gave mom the key*, and went to lunch at a fast food place. Mom put the key in her pocket and forgot about it. When she went to bed, she remembered it, and *could not find it anywhere* She is hoping/thinking/praying it fell out of her pocket in the restaurant, but as they don't open until 11 this morning, and she's already on her way to new town, she's asked a friend to go check once the restaurant opens to see if it's there. She *does* have the key that locks the back of the truck, and the truck was still at her neighbor's when she left this morning. Prayers appreciated that the key is found and we get that all sorted so we can drive the truck down as planned. (or that the same friend can go and get a spare key from the U-Haul place?? Or something????) 5 Quote
ScoutTN Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Good morning! It's unseasonably warm today (70!) with rain and lots of wind. Thunderstorms in the forecast. My people are all still in bed. Nothing exciting here today, just regular Saturday stuff. Meal planning Grocery shopping Recycle glass Dd to/from dance Dh is doing this! Call mom - reschedule visit to tomorrow A little computer/desk work ✅ Ds to/from cotillion ✅ Dinner is leftovers. ✅ Watch football. ✅ Edited January 12, 2020 by ScoutTN 3 Quote
TheReader Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 Key has NOT been found (they have checked with the restaurant, the store she went to, etc.); people in the old town are searching. Good gravy. She's talking with people as to where they can keep searching/should keep searching, and then when all searching has been exhausted, she will call the UHaul place to see about getting a new key, and what on earth that will cost. 1 2 Quote

Oh man! That's just stress no one needs. Your poor mom, friend and everyone. There must be a way to fix this, as I'm sure this is not the first time a key was lost. Hope it turns up. Tell mom to double check all her pockets - clothes she was wearing (pants, sweater) as well as outer coat. I know so many people who misplace their car key and find them in a different pocket. 5 Quote
wintermom Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 It should be a great day. I'm going to ignore the rain and freezing rain out there, and just enjoy the indoors. Done: coffee, breakie, e-mails To do: - Ds 15 basketball game, - family and friends D&D game (I get to be an elf!!!) - tennis match 4 Quote

Selkie Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 Good morning! We had terrible weather last night. The forecast was spectacularly wrong - instead of getting a foot of snow, we got 12+ hours of freezing rain. Everything is encased in a thick layer of ice and the ground is treacherous. Dh, ds19, and I were outside for hours making things safe for our animals. I'm feeling very thankful for skidloaders with chains, big piles of lime and sand, and ice cleats! Everyone is sleeping now except for me - I'm on puppy duty. Hoping to catch a nap later in the day... try to get some office work done, if I can keep my eyes open unpack UPS boxes do a few loads of laundry harvest microgreens & plant a new tray still need to get everything put back in my bathroom cabinets & drawers dinner: ?? might make roasted poblano potato stew hopefully have a relaxing evening, if the forecast for tonight is right (4" of snow) and we don't get more ice!😬 3 1 Quote

Concussions and broken bones from falls on ice are very common here. I don't even want to think about a horse falling. 😨 Hope things go well until the ice melts. We're getting loads of rain that will freeze up later tonight, too. I want the snow they keep talking about! Edited January 11, 2020 by wintermom 3 Quote

I want the snow they keep talking about! Yes, it is so dangerous for humans! I learned my lesson a few years ago when I fell and hit the back of my head, so I always wear cleats now. I did take a colossal spill last night when a horse knocked me on my butt (not his fault - he was startled by a noise and took off running), but no broken bones, so all's well that ends well! Hope your rain turns to snow so you don't have to deal with ice! 3 Quote
mommyoffive Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 We are iced in and waiting on the foot of snow that is supposed to come today too. Dance was cancelled this morning so we just having an off day. Yeah. Except dd didn't tell me she needs new flat shoes and she has an audition on Sunday. I don't have a solution for that. I have a terrible migraine that I have had all week. 6 Quote
ScoutTN Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Sorry for the crummy weather up north! I won't complain about rain and thunderstorms now. My daffodills and hyacinths are peeking up, about an inch. Spring will begin here in about 6 weeks. Edited January 11, 2020 by ScoutTN 3 1 Quote

Selkie Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 I'm feeling a little more awake after three big coffees and a hot shower. Dh is out plowing/scraping/trying to bust up the ice on our 1/2 mile lane. Also thawing out the kids' cars, which sat out overnight and are like big ice cubes. Dd and ds19 are still snoozing, but need to get up soon or they are going to be awake all night. Talked to ds21, who is at school. Did a couple loads of laundry. Cleaned the kitchen. Gave the horses more hay and cleaned stalls. Dh is going to put down fresh bedding and top off the water tank for me. Thinking about what to have for lunch now... 2 Quote

SKL Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 Kid2 to horse riding. Myself to TKD. Kid2 picked up and lunch bought via drive-thru. Kid1 to school for basketball games. Cleaned junk out of car, got the mail and processed it, gave the bird a treat, etc. Cleaned kitchen and some other stuff. A little reading. Hung out with Kid2 for a while - playing with techy toys etc. Back to school to watch end of game & bring kid1 home. Helped Kid1 change her knee bandage. Helped Kid2 make some cherry cheesecake treats. Folded up and packed a big old tent rainfly that's been cluttering up a space for months. Straightened up the area. Looked for Kid2's white saddle pad. Did not find it, but did find a different white saddle pad that may work. Helped Kid2 iron her shirt for tomorrow's horse show. Panera for dinner. Kids are now supposed to be either showering or doing homework. Ha! 4 Quote
