I’ve made kids’ b’fast and coffee, tidied the school area, and printed some graph paper. Today: Telehealth appt for Ds. Lesson prep and log yesterday’s tutoring sessions. Set a time for tomorrow’s tutoring. Continue working on laptop with not-working parental controls. Email screen shots to tech people. AHG tonight! Take food drive food that Dd collected.

SKL Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Howdie, happy Thursday! Still plugging along on the new and old January deadlines. I turned around one task that I'd promised "overnight," and sent an email buying a little time on another one. I have about 100 other things that should ideally be done already .... My kids are back to hybrid school. Here's hoping it lasts this time. I don't love getting up earlier and worrying about everyone being out the door on time, but it's so much better for them than sitting alone all day. Done: Lots of alarms & snoozes & temporary wake-ups. Finally got up & motivated about 6am ish. Kids up about 6:45. Thankfully, they were motivated enough to be ready & in the car by 7:40 despite my continuing to work. Sent out a client project, yay!! And did a few other work things. Packed kids' breakfast. Drove kids to school, on time, yay! Working on coffee 2? Talked to sister re mom's health. Caught up on news, calendar, emails, social media & checked kids' grades. To do: Lots more client work. More coffee. Call school about summer option? Pick up kids from wherever they go after school. Kid2 to horse riding. Make the kids do homework, practice instruments, get ready for tomorrow's school. Really want to get a little walking done! Might need to do some laundry. Whatever else gets done. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 Thanks for the prayers for my dad! All his blood work was great, and the CT scan only showed a really bad sinus infection. He did say he had some dizziness. He is with my older sister, and she says he's almost back to normal. He is staying with her a a couple of days to see that the medicine is working, and then he wants to go back home. The fall really rattled him mentally. She brought up the idea of a medic alert system, and he wasn't opposed to it. We will see if he might agree to one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) Realized that Ds finished the leftovers I'd intended for dinner tonight. Made leftover rotisserie chx into taco filling, made rice, got black beans out of the freezer. Electronic chores. Next up: box old dishes for thrift ✔️ load food pantry items into my car ✔️ start some laundry ✔️ shower walk? not a nice day, but I need the frsh air and exercise.

TheReader Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Scout, that happens a lot at our house, too! (the boy eating the food) Got the meal plan and grocery list made. Finished the coffee. Checked on the cat, who was behaving like a lunatic. Not sure what's up, but nothing seems amiss, so.....? Tackling the real stuff now (and eating breakfast....) before going to the store..... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 also researched the one sewing machine, and man, it sounds good. Need to call the other place, see what they have/offer, and compare. Dh is ready to go to the store, so will do other stuff after that. Oh, and,ha, the thing I was forgetting?? School. You know, with my own kid. Oops. So, also that. sewing will likely wait till tomorrow..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReader Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 graded papers started my "prep for printables" but Word & my laptop are not getting along again -- may need to break down and buy the current version :sigh: went grocery shopping, put away groceries, ate lunch/fed kids lunch got everyone started on school taking a nap, letting the computer rest, will resume work after that (cannot do the school prep w/o letting the computer rest due to the word issue anyway) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReader Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 took a nap got the homework charts for DS, including found out some stuff he was missing for Biology; I feel bad, b/c he asked me about those very items, and I said, "what, no, surely we turned those in? those are from unit 6....." (we hadn't; I guess these were things he was supposed to have scanned in that we never did. oops). helping oldest DS figure out the library card access thing for his class/videos for one of his classes; he had it all sorted except selecting the "local library" emailed the biology teacher to let her know I'd dig out the missing papers, and that it was my fault, and also found an email I needed to reply to in the deleted folder, so took care of that. heading up to do school with DS now, then back to work..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 Scout and Reader, my boy doesn't care for leftovers of most anything, so I've never had that happen here. He would rather make some ramen noodles or eat a bag of popcorn. Tutoring is done. Working on final co-op prep. (printing stuff off now, need to write out specifics on the chemistry test review) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popmom Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 took one hour nap that was interupted by 3 phone calls--all of which I declined lol sowed some cover crop/green manure seeds in my garden area have made zero progress in the kitchen today. I'm most productive at night, so I'll get back to it later. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReader Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Got today's school done with DS Found his missing Biology work, sent that in, after which DH announced he's really not fond of the Biology class and could we drop him, and he (DH) will take over teaching DS Biology....? Texted my mom, who I now need to call have *still* not done my prep work (well, some but not all), so need to do that, but as it's dinner(ish) time, punting that till tomorrow, which means my sewing time will get punted further till Saturday; luckily there is no D&D this week, and football is not until Sunday (the game we care about, anyway) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popmom Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I am SO CLOSE to finishing the great kitchen purge of 2021! Tonight I found homes for the few things I had left out and purged my spice collection. All that is left is to box up the give away items. Some things are going to friends at church, but most will go to Goodwill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
