• laundry
• continue cleaning out and sorting through things. (looking for items I could take to a yard sale Saturday if I have enough worth it)
• pay bills/update checking record

Happy Wednesday!

I am now more than a day behind on some audit workpapers I promised.  I also have a zoom board meeting this afternoon, so I can worry about that for the next several hours.

Done:

• Woke up early to do work.
• Decided to take out the garbage first, so I could then focus on work.
• Remembered the dog poo in the yard needed to be cleaned up, so I did that.  Pup's new name is Poop Factory.
• Made coffee and settled in to work.
• Got a call from my sister.  It lasted an hour.
• Woke up Kid2 to get ready for school.  (Late start today due to other kids' testing.)
• Drove kid to school.
• Did various other pup things.
• Have so far spent maybe 5 minutes on work!

To do:

• Lots of client work.
• Make the kids do their school work.
• Drive Kid2 to horse riding and back.
• Laundry.
• Pup duty.
• Whatever else gets done.

@Lovinglife123, welcome to the tackle thread! 

@ScoutTN, I'm so glad the meeting went okay. 

Brunch out was nice. I did some errands, too.

At piano.

My kids have youth group, but children’s ministry is cancelled due to weather, so I will get to/have to hang out for a while. Might go inside with my laptop and work.

I lived through an hour long zoom board meeting, yay!!

Also sent out a big report, and a couple important client emails.

Ate 3 cookies and 2 tootsie pops to celebrate (or, because they were there and I was too lazy to prep food).

Garden looks good - melons in, beans in, cucumbers in. ♥️ We are officially about 1/3 done. Split and transplanted peonies because I could. 😂 Watered things, DS fixed the mower, DD broke the mower, DS fixed it again. Lawn half mowed. 
 

We called it a day at 2. DH stopped working and took a very needed nap. Everyone relaxed all afternoon. Felt like a luxury on a Wednesday. ♥️

I'm back from church. My Kindergarteners were all so hyper tonight. I have them by myself, and I sure could use a helper. 

I'm anxious about if we will move or not. Dh hasn't heard a word from any of the jobs he has applied for, not even a no, so maybe they are just taking their time. He did remind me that the positions he has had were all hires in late May and summer.  I really want to get closer to Daddy, but we can't move if dh can't find another position. I feel that he will need to move in with us in the next couple of years, and I hate to move him away from that area. Or I hate to have to be going back and forth to his house and leave dh here alone much.

Praying for a good new job for your Dh that is closer to your dad, Amy!

We got dinner at Whole Foods, kids enjoyed their small groups, and I visited with a friend. 

Printed ds’ hw assignments, put away lunch boxes, opened Amazon packages, started a load of laundry, and am about to settle down with my book.

I need to get lots done tomorrow. Life is overwhelming right now, but I am too tired to get anything substantial done at this time of night. Setting my alarm for an early start!
