TravelingChris Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Good morning! After so many days in a row of gloomy weather, it is great to wake up to see the sun's ray lighting up my wooded properties tree leaves. I don't think the storms are all that far away since I have been having a gigantic amount of stiffness in my back and woke up at 3am in very bad pain. But fortunately, I did get back to sleep. To do shower and asthma meds make coffee for dh breakfast prep for going drive to Nashville doctor appt, Prolia shot, lunch somewhere drive home go to super fantastic party in my city downtown square w/ food trucks, LED light show, live music, etc to celebrate our city being named Best City in the USA to live in- by US News and Report 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Sounds like a good day!@TravelingChris I have dropped Ds at school, fed the silly dog, tested blood sugar (140, boo!), and am making coffee. Later: Meeting at 9:30 Vacuum, once over lightly ✔️ Apply for a job Send an email to parents of kids in my Wed night church class, so they will know what’s happening. Update YNAB and pay a bill Read for challenge Buy a new lunch box/bag. Pack a dinner for me (and Dd?) ✔️ Walk during Dd’s dance class AHG tonight. I am sad to be missing Ds’ first 9th grade football game tonight! Dh will go. I will get to see the other three. Hoping he does ok on the physics quiz today!! He is struggling and bombed the first one. Edited August 25, 2022 by ScoutTN 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Howdie, happy Thursday! The kids got to school on time today, yay! Kid2 was still the last person to the car, but she was more motivated, because her 1st period teacher told her off yesterday. Good! Glad it worked. It should save me some white hairs. Kid1 has been getting downstairs and making herself breakfast lately. That's new. She always did eat better when not pushed. Maybe the Lactaid is helping too. My schedule situation is similar to yesterday. No work meetings etc. I did very little client work again yesterday. Need to make things happen before I get myself in trouble. Done: Slept despite some alarms/snoozes. Woke the kids. Made breakfast, lunch, coffee. Took the pup out. Drove the kids to school. Updated calendar for band stuff. Sent a dumb wrong text to kid's therapist kuz I misread my calendar, then sent another text apologizing for my mistake. Also it was too early. I shouldn't text before coffee. Wordle (3), nerdle (3), quordle (9), spelling bee (2), letter box (4). Caught up on emails, news, social media, electronic school stuff. To do: Lots of client work. Yoga etc. Some reading. Eat fruit, veggies, take vitamins, drink water. Pup stuff. Walk the pup? Clean the kitchen etc., do laundry. Kid1 frog watch stuff & hopefully driving practice. Kid2 driving practice. Kids to band practice 5-7pm. Make the kids do their homework, pup duties, pick up after themselves, etc. Whatever else gets done. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, for today: ....coffee ....get Middle up in time for his classes ....send DH and Middle off ....work on school with Youngest....work on my school prep for Monday ....plan dinner/cook dinner when it's dinner time ....DH and middle come home, eat dinner ....go to fencing ...come home, go to bed Should there be any free time in that list, nap? sew?

mom31257 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Good morning! Our internet and cable were out all morning, so I cancelled my first class and told them I would try to post a video when it came up. It just did, so I might see how many can get on soon and just go ahead and have it. My next class isn't until 12:30. Today is the anniversary of the day dh and I met at college in 1985, and it's ds and his girlfriend's one year anniversary of dating (met at the same school). I didn't realize it was the same date until he told me this week it was. I think it's really cool we share an anniversary! walk when I first got up medicine coffee and scrambled eggs maybe have class if they all can 2 more students (online and in person) do lesson plans for next week tidy some areas in the house meal plan and grocery list grocery shopping today or tomorrow take another walk this evening hopefully talk dh into doing something fun tomorrow (He starts back to school Monday.) watch something and relax calcium Edited August 26, 2022 by mom31257 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReader Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Helped DS with his chemistry homework Finally had an email from his economics teacher w/the homework for that class, adding it to my list Answered an email from one of my student's parents, about confusion over an assignment - I *really* need to remember to pre-do one of these next year when I send them home the 1st time Finished matching chapter numbers to topics for history, so typing that up and will send out to those who wanted it 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 So, I printed the current versions of my singapore conversion charts (standards to US), and am going to show them all to the mom who needs them, and see what format makes the most sense to her, b/c I have them in about 3 different styles from one book to the next, and they all make sense to *me* but I don't want to standardize them in a way that doesn't make sense to other people. So, tabling that for now, and will instead head up and resume school with DS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Done: Double-checked that Ds made the bus for football. Laundry - kitchen linens Checked my AHG bag and packed things to read during Dd’s dance class.

TheReader Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 so, did the economics for the day. DS kept nodding off, which he tends to do every time we sit and do written work. :sigh: Earlier bedtime?? DH is heading home shortly Dinner is planned I am similarly drowsy, so going to plow through the rest of my list before time to cook...I think I'll walk down and get the mail first to wake up 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done shower and asthma meds make coffee for dh breakfast prep for going drive to Nashville doctor appt, Prolia shot, Need to check if my prescriptions are in. We both agreed that we will not be changing treatment today like changing from Enbrel--I told her that Enbrel seemed to be working well until I had extreme stress/overwork two weekends ago, and that I think my vacation should be low stress. She is upping my steroids instead and also prescribed a medicine for my Sjogren's - that helps w dry mouth. lunch somewhere- we decided we really liked the breakfast at Big Bad Breakfast last time so we went there =-dh had the same thing but I decided to have Bourbon soaked deep fried French toast on French bread with very crispy fatback bacon and Iced Mocha--- yummy drive home- drive home was so much better than the drive there, we had to go on a detour from I65 at one point for unknown reasons since there was a half hour back-up and we were already delayed to do the pest guy doing our service and blocking us in, Fortunately, we were only 10 minutes late and got out of there within a half hour go to super fantastic party in my city downtown square w/ food trucks, LED light show, live music, etc to celebrate our city being named Best City in the USA to live in- by US News and Report Really hope we will go, and since neither of us want to cook dinner, going is probably best 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Dh and I decided to go to Red Lobster for dinner. I've had a gift card for awhile. We went to the mall and walked a bit. I found a planner I really liked when we went in the Books A Million store. We just watched She Hulk and a Handmaid's Tale, so it's been a nice afternoon and evening. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Home from AHG. Dd did a great job driving tonight! I was not scared once. 😜 Ds loved playing football and made some good plays. 🏈 🏈 Now he is being ornery and impatient about doing school work. Dh is helping him. SO thankful for his calm and persistence! Tested blood sugar, took medication, tidied the kitchen, stopped the dryer, set the A/C lower. Headed to bed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 My ds girlfriend, the absolutly nicest girl in the universe loves the vintage tops I have been making. She asked for one of these tops, But she is into skulls and I have been having trouble finding some fabric. I have finally found the perfect fabric and it just arrived so today I am hoping to cut it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Well, I got most of my to-do list done for a change. I finished a nagging tedious government report for a client. It didn't exactly go as planned, but at least it's registering as done before the deadline. Hopefully nobody needs any changes. Since I didn't finish that until 7pm, I didn't get much else done work-wise. Both girls did band and driving practice after school. Then laundry, cleaning, homework, frog watch. Hopefully ready for Friday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need vey basic. ah, no, sorry; it's for Singapore Math's Standards Edition to US Edition, what page numbers coincide. The content of the 2 is 99% identical, but the pages are just the tiniest hair off, so my students sometimes use either one or the other (I keep saying Standards Ed., but some get the US instead)....since the content is the same, it works, but I'm trying to save myself having to post up both sets of page numbers every week and put it on them.
