Good morning! It's cold and sparkly here. I am thankful for two sunny days in a row!

I forgot to take my Mag/Cal/Zi supplement last night and the leg cramps were back. Won't make that mistake again!

I ate half a grapefruit and then remembered about testing my fasting blood sugar. This diabetic stuff is going to take a while to become routine and automatic!

 

Restful day here:

• a little housework ✅ 
• figure out dinner ✅ 
• take a walk
• listen to a podcast ✅ 
• maybe watch some college bball?
• sort and tag some clothes for consignment
• nap ✅ 
• call mom done ✅ 
• church prep ✅

Good morning! Not too much is going on today- ds3 has tennis, dh has a concert, not sure what dd2 has planned.

Also not sure what sort of dinner I have planned either...

• coffee/paper
• finish off weekly chores- might enlist some help
• work in sewing room- cut out pattern if ambitious, cut up scraps for blocks if not
• ds3 tennis
• talk a little more about fixing our kitchen issues with dh- "acknowledge the problem" happened yesterday-never thought that would happen
• read a little
• figure out dinner

Have a great day!

We are off to a party in a bit. 

In the midst of lesson planning for next school year. 

Can anyone recommend a children's Bible curriculum or not? I am at a loss for ideas. 

We had a funny amusing talk about moving to the Caribbean earlier, as storm Dennis has struck on the heels of Storm Ciara over here.. but it would not be possible. I would have to enter a quiz show or enter a competition organised by a radio station where you win a lot of money without much effort.

Good morning!

• tidy up house
• water plants
• get groceries - maybe make the long trek to Natural Grocers?
• go to Lowe's to look at plants?
• prep veggies & fruit
• order a book
• fence repairs
• dinner: buffalo bean wraps & oven fries

I have to SEW. I have a costuming deadline and my sewing machine died.  I have to finish everything while I have my friend’s machine this weekend.

Morning, all!  It's been a rough week for me.  It was my sister's birthday and I just miss her so much. Sigh...   There is something wrong with my ankle that I've had problems with in the past, and I have a college trip with my class coming up that requires extreme walking.  I tried a new book project for Valentine's Day that was a huge success, so ended the week on a bright note.

To do:

• coffee, shower, dress
• take my mom on some errands, lunch
• mail packages, some birthday cards
• library for returns, check out
• pick up a few essentials for a quiche for dinner
• lesson plan 
• laundry
• catch up on Outlander for the new season
• read, relax

Have a great day!

I finally was able to talk to Mom95! 

[Selkie]

(((readinmom))) I'm so sorry about your sister.

Jean, glad you got to talk to Mom95! That name always makes me smile.🙂

DH has a longer list than I do today, because I have a headache with dizziness that will keep me from driving. So he picked up DS14 at 11:00 from garage band practice. Then he took DS14 to guitar lesson at 1:00. DS15 tagged along, because DH has to take both boys to church band practice from 2-3:30 (lots of band for DS14 today!!). After he drops the boys off, he will do a grocery run for me -- just a few things for tonight and tomorrow -- bring the groceries home, then go back to get the boys from church, which is 25 minutes away from our house. Then he promised DS15 he would take him for a haircut.

So far I have:
✔️Put away a little laundry
✔️Helped DD18 register to vote online
✔️Washed a big pile of dishes
✔️Planned the next few meals and made grocery list for DH

To do:
Make a phone call or two that I didn't get to yesterday
Put away the rest of my laundry
✔️Pull all games out of our game cupboard
✔️Clear off a bookshelf that I want to move the games to
✔️Make some room on another bookshelf for the things that I am moving off of the first bookshelf

We have too many games now to fit in our game cabinet, and I think it will work better to have them on the bookshelf -- more room, plus we will be able to see what we have more easily. The cabinet that we've been using for games (the bottom part of a built-in bookshelf) is in our family room, and I'm going to leave it empty for now. Next month, we are having new cabinets put in our kitchen, and I'm going to use the former game cabinet to temporarily store dishes and other kitchen ware, while my kitchen is out of commission.

Have you looked at Memoria Press? I haven’t use it but it did look interesting. Our church body’s publishing house, CPH, also may be worth a look. It is LCMS, Lutheran Church, MO Synod.

Cut up a whole bunch of recycling boxes.

Changed out the cat box.

Today has been a good day. Ds21 came home and has been working on his truck all afternoon. 

Swept the basement & vacuumed the main floor. Dh mopped.

Did a couple loads of laundry.

Washed & cut up fruits & veggies.

Did horse chores & fence repairs.

Worked with puppies.

Placed an Amazon order.

Placed a Chewy order (something I forgot to add to my autoship - second time in a row I've forgotten something...).

Other odds and ends.

Since ds is here, we're having his favorite veggie burgers & brats for dinner.

Dh and I are going to watch a Jim Gaffigan special tonight. He cracks me up.😁

Hooray for naps! I got one too.

 

My guys are out and around. Dinner was leftovers. Quiet night. Reading, mostly. Enjoying several books from my 20 for 2020 list.

Howdy, happy Saturday!  Finally getting to this thread.

• Woke up at 7:something, put a lot of effort into getting out of bed and waking Kid2 up so she could go riding.
• Kid2 decided she was too sick to go riding.  (Probably legitimate.)  Went back to bed...
• Woke again because the fixit guy was at the door at 9am.  He brought an electrician.  Electrician says we basically need to rewire our whole house.
• Spent a couple minutes of downtime.
• Woke kid1 up to get ready for her cheer gig.
• Texted kids' friend's mom about movie outing tomorrow.  (Mom has not responded.??)
• Cheer gig - left home about 11am, arrived back home close to 5pm.
• Tried to nap, but the nap wouldn't come.
• Got on the computer and caught up with emails, news, social media, etc.
• Did my daily yoga etc. / TKD forms.

To do:

• Work - I have some "deadlines" and also really need to get some things done, as tomorrow will be a busy day.
• Make the kids shower and go to bed.

I have let the kids be pretty lazy today, which means possibly another weekend will go by without doing the AHG things I want them to do.  Ugh....

I am out of likes. Consider yourself liked if I wasn’t able to like it!
