I *still* didn't do those cabinets yesterday - procrastinated through landscaping. :P 


This AM:
Volunteer landscaping with kids this AM @ a site we love. ❤️ 

@ 11 - repeat Covid tests for two kiddos.  DH can't return to work until the family members who tested then test again and get a 2nd negative

Drop by my parents

Home by late afternoon and work on my new habit - being still in the afternoon.  Read for a little while yesterday and discussed patio brick options with DH.  Remembered I have a hard time being still.

Hang picture frames


*Successfully put off cabinet doors for yet another day.

Good morning! 

today:
...coffee
...tutor the 4 yr old
...more laundry
...begin inputting all the 2nd grade stuff into my master lesson plan book so it's usable
...work on the Christmas trees for the quilt project
...maybe the grocery store b/c we need milk, and something else I forgot now.....(maybe just the close little shop if it's just milk)
....send the emails from yesterday: this year's parents, about "welcome to my class", and the registrar, about picking up registrations that have come in
...start transferring stuff from the hard drive to my laptop 
...dinner: ?????? I froze the rest of the leftover ham, so, something else.....

Home from tutoring; things went pretty well today. The 4 yr old and I are getting into a fair routine that gets the "academics" done and the fun stuff, with less distractability as we settle into the routine. Tuesdays of course are worse than Thursdays, but, she's four. I let Grandma & GiGi know that the "schedule" I made at the start was perhaps overly optimistic and we may tweak it. They said no problem. 

Started laundry. I'm less behind on that than I thought I was. 

Had an email from a neighbor asking about my classes; sent out the info. 

Had an email from a possible student/parent, asking some Covid questions; answered that email. 

DH is off doing work things, so I'm in charge of lunch.

• Overslept.  It seems my new phone's "snooze" is like an hour long or doesn't work at all.  I can't find a way to adjust it.  Well, I needed the sleep anyhow.
• Kid2 to horse riding and back.
• Worked on scheduling / arranging some activities for my kids.
• Sent out some client work.
• Put away dishes & groceries.
• Fed the bird.
• A little reading.
• 2 coffees so far.

To do:

• Lots more client work.
• Prepare for kids' confirmation questioning / participate in it, I think it's at 6pm and I am so not ready.  It will be a zoom, so we should look decent ....
• Make the kids practice music, clean up, shower etc.
• Yoga, walking, TKD practice.
• Pay bills.
• Figure out dinner & clean up after it.
• Whatever else gets done.

[TheReader]

Made/fed the kids lunch. 

Moved laundry 1 to the dryer, put laundry 2 in the washer. 

Brought groceries in from DH's car when he got home. 

Planned a dairy-free dinner, as DS19 is having issues and wants to try a dairy-free trial to see if it helps. Took the meat out, it's thawing in the sink in water. 

Dumped DH's bin of compost stuff into the compost thing he has outside. Yuck. 

Emptied & reloaded the dishwasher. 

Sent DS19 over to tend the neighbor's dogs/menagerie. 

Naptime.

Restocked paper products

Filled dog food bins

Tried to place a Walmart order, but several things were out of stock - gave up & ordered from Amazon instead

Made a vet appt. for next Friday - that's the earliest I could get for a checkup because they are so booked

Keeping an eye on the weather - it's graying up and I need to run out and close the sheds if it starts raining

Snack supper and go to bed early.

Scout, I hope your headache is just a garden variety one and goes away soon!

I got a lot done today, but hardly any office work. Oh well.

Still plugging away at the laundry. With this heatwave, everyone's been changing clothes multiple times a day after working outside, so lots of extra loads.

Did some kitchen things - made a quadruple batch of hummus, cut up veggies, made a pitcher of hibiscus tea.

Opened UPS boxes - office supplies, mostly.

Did some decluttering of the stuff piled on the dining room hutch.

Dusted the main floor.

Ordered hay.

Ordered beans from Rancho Gordo.

Fed the horses. We were just about to give them their nightly showers when it started thundering. The wind has picked up, but no raindrops yet.

Puppy play date was fun. 

[SKL]

The kids and I survived the Confirmation questioning.  Now we have to decide whether or not to participate in drive-through Communion or just wait until the Confirmation ceremony.

Their Confirmation verses (chosen by the church folks who know them) are:

Miss A:  Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

Miss E:  Proverbs 3:5-6. "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

The Miss A verse is one of my all-time favorites.  🙂

That reminds me - I need to order special Bibles for them before their Confirmation ceremony....
