HomeAgain Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Good morning! Finished touches on ds's lunch. He was not amused by it and requests no more "fun" foods. Made a treat bag for the bus driver Print out my Halloween fraction pages Make a pumpkin pie & whipped cream Tutor Laundry Dinner: meatball subs Pack up the car TRICK OR TREATING! Okay, not me. I'll be sending child off to do the neighborhood with a friend, and hanging with friend's parents. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) Good morning! @HomeAgain My Ds15 sometimes finds “fun” foods entertaining and sometimes embarrassing. I still like to do them sometimes. I have made coffee and packed a lunch. Today is mostly an organization day for me. My list: Boy to school ✔️ Think about this week Meal plan ✔️ Grocery ✔️ YNAB Camping gear out of car ✔️ Laundry ✔️ Tutor three students after school Pick up Ds after bball? Read and relax Edited October 31, 2022 by ScoutTN 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still like to do them sometimes. Mine finds playful food to be beneath him. I thought I could convince him this time, but nope. He'd prefer the kind of lunch I usually pack him. My 23yo was jealous, though! ETA: It's a BAI blueberry drink, gummies, finger breadsticks (there's a container of "Type A Blood" marinara sauce not pictured, twice baked cauldron potatoes and miniature meat pies. The only thing I thought would throw him off was the gummies. Edited October 31, 2022 by HomeAgain 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Ate b’fast Started laundry Got a shower Put ground meat in cold water to thaw and chx in marinade for tomorrow. Decided to break down the camping gear job. Today I will just get it out of my car and into the house. Might take the rest of the week to get it sorted and properly put away. Texted tutoring families to confirm and two are cancelled for Halloween. The remaining one is virtual, so no driving. Might see if they want an earlier time. Next up: Grocery 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Pumpkin pie is in the oven. The sweet kid I had this morning is really enjoying his time with me. I got a "it's already time??" when we had to pack up. 🙂 Laundry is not getting done. The 23yo commandeered the machines. Made it to the store, where they did not have the one item I promised ds I would get. I don't want to pay twice as much elsewhere, so maybe I can convince him to eat something else tomorrow for breakfast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I teach my preschoolers today, but am done at 2:00, so I'll come home after that and set up my trick or treat table and make sure the little free library is well stocked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Tested blood sugar. All fine, but I feel nauseated. Groceries put away Car reorganized Dried bathroom rugs. Washing the shower curtain liner now. Folded and put away a load of kitchen and bath linens. Opened some windows; it’s damp and gray, but not cold out. House feels stuffy, but a/c will just make it too cool. Put meat in fridge and started potatoes to boil. Decided to use frozen veggies, so no cutting, peeling, or precooking. Filled the candy bowl for tonight. This is possible bc my resident sugar fiend is at school til around 7:00 tonight. Tidied a bedroom. Filled the bird feeder Sat on the front step and petted the neighbor’s friendly cat. Next up: Rest and read, but also keep an eye on the potatoes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share Posted October 31, 2022 All my classes are done for the day. I went out and took care of the leaves in the biggest part of the front yard. Dh is out doing some now. Lesson plans are done for two of my classes tomorrow but not for my in-person student. I started a load of laundry (sheets) because dd is coming tomorrow and will spend the night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Tried to nap, but my phone rang twice. Drat! Shepherds pie is made; broccoli is prepped. Ran the dishwasher. Homework list made. Called mom. My only student of the day is in a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith-manor Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 We tackled Halloween yesterday evening with a party for our grandsons. We are now very, very tired. Their daddy is taking them trick or treating - 10 houses in a friend's neighborhood (which is much larger than that) - tonight, so all the fun but not much candy. I am making a very yummy spaghetti with steamed broccoli for dh, myself, and Dd while we stare catatonically at the walls trying to recover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) Student is done. Logged his session and the two cancelled ones. Broc is cooked. dishwasher is unloaded. Dog is unhappily in Dd’s room. He is biggish and has a big bark and scares ToT’ers. Outside lights on. Candy bowl ready. First kiddo was already here. Need to get a magazine or other interruptible reading for the evening. Edited October 31, 2022 by ScoutTN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Dh picked up Ds, who did not make the basketball team. Not really a surprise. He can still play in a rec league and workout with the lacrosse team. Very few trick or treaters tonight. Didn’t see neighbors we usually see. Drizzly weather may have kept some home. Gonna hide the leftover candy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
