Good morning!

Beautiful morning here - cool, sunny, and breezy. We didn't get any bad storms yesterday - just a few minutes of thunder and about five drops of rain - which on the one hand was a relief, but boy do we need rain. I decided to let my tomato plants die off and am feeling kind of guilty about it, but A.) I am tired of tomatoes, and B.) I am tired of watering. 

• straighten up pantry
• go through house and restock paper products, etc.
• restock fridge with beverages
• empty garbage cans
• vacuum
• text hay guys
• water houseplants
• groom horses
• read & relax
• dinner: I'm thinking of making a pot of soup, but haven't decided what kind yet

[ScoutTN]

Dd slept very little last night. Dozing now. She has to finish some schoolwork today and has a virtual dance class.

My guys are out at a Scout project all morning. 

I've checked my consignment settlement, booked some horseback riding lessons for Dd, had b'fast, and played with the silly dog.

 

To do:

• Buy coffee filters!
• Meal planning, including dinner tonight. ✅ 
• Grocery
• Pay bills
• Enter new contacts into mom's GrandPad.
• Encourage kids to do schoolwork. ✅ 
• Sign up Ds for Scout MB day in October
• Pool later? Walk?

[Jean in Newcastle]

I am taking a break from my very hard PT lower body exercises.  I did get through the "Exercise of Death" today though - two sets of ten reps.  This is the first time in a month of trying to work up to that goal that I have succeeded.  I was ready to quit after the first set of ten but muttered "I am Xena" until I got through the second set.  😉

OK - back to the exercises. . .  

Oh and now you know my secret.  I post the last few things of my morning routine before I have actually done them because usually I am not back to the computer until long after they are done. 

[Jean in Newcastle]

Ugh.  I am batting zero this afternoon.   I looked and looked and looked for the tool that I told my neighbor that she could borrow.  Dh helped me look as well.  No tool.  Then I looked for the window file for the name of the windows we have installed.  Can't find that either and I suspect that the file I was looking for might be "somewhere" in our storage unit.

And now my ankle really hurts after doing my PT exercises to strengthen that stupid ankle. 

[Jean in Newcastle]

I think that I found a sticker on the door frame that might help.  Sent that information to dh.  He can hopefully take it from here because I don't wanna. 

[ScoutTN]

Shopped at 3 groceries.
Talked to mom on the phone and ordered some stuff on Amazon for her.

Got my flu shot.

Now I'm going to do a chore round robin for the next forty minutes.

[Selkie]

I've gotten most of my list done today, which is a nice change. Now that it is no longer boiling lava hot here, I don't feel like such a sloth.

I decided not to make dinner, though. We have tons of leftovers that need to get eaten.

 

[SKL]

Howdie!  I am so glad it is Saturday.  I have a lot of work to do, but nobody is watching and waiting for me to do it.  😛  Also, most of the kids' activities were canceled today.

My kids wanted to have friends over, but I am so stinking sick of them refusing to clean up their messy areas, I said no.  They appealed to an auntie, who convinced them to clean and talked our maids into coming today instead of tomorrow (they haven't been here in about a month).  So I did some pre-maid cleaning, but mostly hid in my room and texted the friends' parents for a hangout tomorrow afternoon.  My kid is also cooking something delicious, so I have that to look forward to.  Other kid set up her gymnastics mats to practice in the backyard.  So yay.

I have lots to do once my serious motivation kicks in.  I did take a nap, does that count?

After the maids leave & after dinner, I plan to do my walking / exercise, and then either get some work (client / personal) done or go to bed, depending on how I feel.

[ScoutTN]

Nap definitely counts, SKL!

Dinner is done and kitchen is tidy.

Made a schedule for Dh so he'll know exactly when he's doing kid pick-up or drop-off this week,

Helping Dd get through her English hw now.
